10 principles VS iKnow! What is “iKnow!”? Science-based product set to enhance the efficiency of the human learning process – Learning, Memory and Performance
Metamemory control measure Learning Memory Performance encoding storage retrieval Learning Science of iKnow!:Assisting the Metamemory System People have inaccurate Metamemory • poor control of learning People do not know • whento review • how much needto study (under-study or “labor-in-vain effect”) Information flow through memory system
Learning Science of iKnow!:Monitoring and Control of Memory Target Level good long term-retention! Alert Level Memory Strength 0 0 Test date: High performance! Time
#1 Multimedia Principle: People learn better from words and pictures than from words alone. Evaluation: cleared Using word and picture!
#2 Contiguity Principle: People learn better when corresponding words and pictures are presented near rather than far from each other in time or on the screen. Evaluation: cleared Using word and picture at the same time!
#3 Coherence Principle: People learn better when extraneous words, pictures, and sounds are excluded rather than included. Evaluation: cleared Used to have extraneous information but have removed.
#4 Modality Principle: People learn better from words and pictures when words are spoken rather than printed. Evaluation: cleared Words are spoken!
#5 Redundancy Principle: People learn better from animation and narration than from animation, narration, and on-screen text. Evaluation: NOT cleared Words are spoken! But on-screen text as well!And NO animation!
#6 Personalization Principle: People learn better when words are presented in conversational style rather than formal style. Evaluation: NOT cleared Words are spoken with formal style but not conversational style!
#7 Voice Principle: People learn better when words are spoken in a non-accented human voice than in machine voice or accented voice. Evaluation: cleared Outsourced professional narrators with non-accented.
#8 Signaling Principle: People learn better when the voice signals important words rather than when there are no signals. Evaluation: NOT cleared Signals are not used.
#9 Interactivity Principle: People learn better when they can control the pace of presentation than when they receive a continuous presentation. Evaluation: almost cleared Kinds of some interactive activities, such as quiz mode, or spelling practice.
#10 Pretraining Principle: People learn better when they receive pretraining on each component rather than no pretraining. Evaluation: NOT cleared There is a preview screen but not a pretraining function.
Conclusion: 6 cleared out of 10 principles. This product has NOT been perfect. Therefore, the business did NOT go well.
