New research makes the case for hard tests, and suggests an unusual technique that anyone can use to learn

For years, many educators have championed “errorless learning,” advising teachers (and students) to create study conditions that do not permit errors. For example, a classroom teacher might drill students repeatedly on the same multiplication problem, with very little delay between the first and second presentations of the problem, ensuring that the student gets the answer correct each time.

The team found that students remembered the pairs much better when they first tried to retrieve the answer before it was shown to them. In a way this pretesting effect is counterintuitive: Studying a pair for 13 seconds produces worse recall than studying the pair for 5 seconds, if students in the latter condition spent the previous 8 seconds trying to retrieve or guess the answer. But the effect averaged about 10 percent better recall, and occurred both immediately after study and after a delay averaging 38 hours.

Check out this nice two and a half minute video interview of Tim Brown, CEO of IDEO and author of the new book Change by Design.

Tim discusses how he wrote and organized his book leveraging the power of mind mapping and visual thinking.

The book itself introduces the concept of design thinking – the collaborative process by which the designer’s sensibilities and methods are employed to match people’s needs with what is technically feasible and a viable business strategy.

Ini ada statistic tentang 5 Browser yang paling sering digunakan di Indonesia

Hari Jum’at ini sebenarnya sibuk karena harus jadi moderator matakuliah Totolan dengan pembicara Rizal ‘Broer’ dengan topik “RUP-Management Requirement’, suatu topik yang menurut saya sangat menarik.

Sayangnya karena sudah janji dengan mahasiswa-mahasiswi yang mau masukkan ke lomba Inaicta, terpaksa nggak sempat temani pembicara lama-lama, cuma buka untuk perkenalkan pembicaranya dan sesudah pembicara melakukan presentasi, ditinggal sendiri.

Akhirnya bantu mereka untuk perbaiki pemilihan kata yang akan digunakan sebagai brosur, yang menjadi ujung tombak dari lomba ini.

Rancangan disain dari brosurnya juga sudah oke banget. Aplikasi yang dibuat sih memang sudah jempolan. Tampilannya menarik dan sudah dibuatkan videonya juga lagi.

Mudah-mudahan mereka bisa menang sehingga tambah mengharumkan nama Binus University, sekali lagi.

Sebagai catatan, dasar dari ide tersebut adalah sebuah buku terkenal “Permission marketing”  dari Seth Godin, dan topik dari salah satu internet marketer terkenal didunia
