This morning I published a short article on an exciting new eLearning technology - Spaced Education - on the blog for the Electronic Learning Forum (eLF) sponsored by the Greater Cincinnati chapter of ASTD.
Spaced Education, or SpacedEd for short, is based on both new and old studies that show the effectiveness of test-like learning that is delivered and reinforced in small chunks over time, hence the name - Spaced Education. The idea is that you learn exclusively by answering questions - sort of an online Socratic method. When you submit your answers you get immediate feedback on whether they were right or wrong and you get an explanation of the correct answers. There is no penalty for being wrong - in fact, it's key to learning things that you didn't know!. You are asked only a couple of questions at a time every couple of days and the entire course is spaced out over a couple of weeks.
If you're interested, you can read the entire article here and I invite you to join us for a free webinar on this and other mobile learning subjects this Friday morning, March 19, 7:30-8:30 am. For more information on the eLF webinar, please contact Gary Wise.
