Don’t Forget About It: How Spaced Repetition and Microlearning Boost Memory

Don’t Forget About It: How Spaced Repetition and Microlearning Boost Memory | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.thetechedvocate.org - October 25, 2019 4:00 PM

Research on the forgetting curve has revealed some shocking statistics. Within one hour, people will have forgotten an average of 50 % of new information. Within 24 hours, they have forgotten an average of 70 % of the new information, and within a week, they will have forgotten 90 % of it. Of course, it’s not the same for everybody, but it’s still pretty disconcerting.

And this fact is the problem with corporate training – most of it goes to waste. Most of what your employees have learned will be forgotten unless you employ what is known as “spaced repetition.”

Boosting Students’ Memory Through Drawing

Boosting Students’ Memory Through Drawing | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.edutopia.org - March 21, 2019 7:21 PM

It’s long been known that drawing something helps a person remember it. A new study shows that drawing is superior to activities such as reading or writing because it forces the person to process information in multiple ways: visually, kinesthetically, and semantically. Across a series of experiments, researchers found drawing information to be a powerful way to boost memory, increasing recall by nearly double.

Grab these tricks to increase the likelihood that learners will remember your eLearning content.


It’s happened to all of us: we’re presented with information and yet we forget it. Why does it happen? One of the most common reasons is because our attention is elsewhere. It’s similar to what happens when a student is attending a lecture, yet is simultaneously spending time on their smartphone. While they may be physically present in the lecture, their divided attention leads to a failure to retain most, if not all, of the information taught.

With video in learning one can feel as though one is learning, as the medium holds your attention but as you are hurtled forward, that knowledge disappears off the back. It’s like a shooting star; looks and feels great but the reality is that it burns up as it enters the atmosphere and rarely ever lands.

From www.opencolleges.edu.au - November 22, 2018 3:23 PM

At the University of Texas at Austin, linguistic researchers have found that we recall information from conversations better when we’ve been listening to someone who speaks clearly, as it frees up cognitive resources which would otherwise be used to decipher the words themselves rather than the meaning behind them. These findings have promising implications for the classroom.

10 Ways to Retain More of What You Learn - InformED

10 Ways to Retain More of What You Learn - InformED | Information and digital literacy in education via the digital path | Scoop.it
From www.opencolleges.edu.au - November 24, 2016 2:28 PM
Although reading something once or twice and then remembering it for life would be ideal, the reality is that much of what we learn goes in one ear and out the other. In fact, research shows that within just one hour, if nothing is done with new information, most people will have forgotten about 50% of what they learned. After 24 hours, this will be 70%, and if a week passes without that information being used, up to 90% of it could be lost.

From www.opencolleges.edu.au - July 15, 2016 4:56 PM
Not all memory is created equal. While some of us have detailed, context-dependent accounts of when and where we learned something, others seem to have a reserve of facts in their brain that they can pull from, independent of the original context in which they learned the information. Why does memory differ from person to person in this way, and how does it affect learning?
