Some of the teachers I have worked with do this; and there are some great teachers(lecturers) like Martin who teach effective studying techniques: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlU-zDU6aQ0 Flashcards and Anki were incredibly effective for me. I am building a study tool which automatically generates them from lecture slides. Beyond that, it applies other psychology of learning techniques - It breaks up content into manageable chunks you can see your progress on (to boost your confidence of exam coverage) and has an exam-conditions like mode where it shows you relevant slides, then asks you questions and to freely recall by blurting onto a blank page everything you remember. It's then able to give you a realistic judgement of your learning and this way of learning by actively recalling freely is, though more intense, ultimately more effective than either reading, watching or quizzing in the long term. The part of learning that other flashcard apps miss, even Anki, is that students must be motivated. They must enjoy, visually engage, and be confident as they study. They must feel they are on a sustainable realistic path as they gather knowledge when on the way to their goals. And they don't have to study every day to do that - they just need to genuinely learn and be able to see the state of their progress... I am excited to be working on EdTech now[Revision.ai] which unveils and detects misconceptions to aid the student in eliminating them. Misconceptions are a massive opportunity - as much as spaced repetition itself [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVtCO84MDj8]. We believe they will genuinely learn, feel comfortable and see their progress, when they overcome misconceptions with tech. Other tools really aren't identifying misconceptions; answering is still a "scale of wrong-to-right". And that's a big opportunity. To truly reduce Test Anxiety by studying and building your confidence. I think Tech can be useful in this way, even without teachers intervening, if enough of the learning content is there. |
