Virtual Library Studying

-

Libraries. 

Why do students study in libraries? 

Is there something special about the environment? 








Turns out, gamification has a reliance on libraries too. Although gamification relies on game elements in non-game contexts to motivate people, a quiet and studious environment can accelerate the process. During a year of global pandemic, everything has shifted virtually. Now the question is, does a virtual library work just as well as an in-person one? 

Virtual Library 

There are many apps that serve the same function as a library, that is to provide a place for full concentration on learning or work.

What to do during Personal Downfall?

  The need for backward engineering . I think I am accurate in saying that very few people, myself included, who are trying to create serious games for wellness think like this – i.e., like a game designer – about the process of gamification. From what I can tell, game designers think very deeply about the experience they want the game to promote, and then they work through the pragmatics of the game play that will facilitate this experience. This backward engineering from the point of view of the aesthetic/experiential goal to the pragmatics of the game is the opposite of what psychologists do when they think about gamification. Instead, we have parallel streams of development in which (a) we know that our “game” (read scientific protocol) is truly boring, and (b) we have to somehow decrease the snore factor. We think: “Hm, here is my very rigid experimental protocol/computerized intervention. I must overlay this protocol with some cute little animated guys, perhaps with a fun back-st

The Most Effective Way to Memorize Proven by World Memory Champions

-
Ever wondered why Memory Champions can memorize a deck of cards in less than 20 seconds? Well, everyone can do it! Here's how: The human brain memorizes information much better in the form of images. Mindless reciting, on the other hand, is extremely inefficient because it simply does not work in favor of the brain. The most common method that all mental athletes use is the Memory Palace aka the method of loci. The Steps To Using The Memory Palace: 1. Imagine a place that you are very familiar with such as your house or your school. Imagine that you are outside the entrance.  2. Pick a list of items that you want to memorize. If it is a list of words that can be easily turned into pictures (ie: apples, bananas, tree, house, card), imagine an apple appearing on the ground next to the door of the place you pictured earlier. 3. Open the door and walk in your house. When you open the door, the first thing you see is a banana.  4. Imagine a small tree appearing 2 inches in front of

Best Study Method for Online Learning

1. Spaced learning To thoroughly understand what is learned, there are two important elements to consider. One is time. And the other is the application of repetition.  This can be achieved with   spaced learning , which is why it’s considered one of the best methods for combating the learning curve. Spaced learning helps learners manage what learned information is retained, enabling them to   reshape the forgetting curve . In turn, spaced learning benefits organizations as it supports the retention of skills and increased productivity in the long-term.  So, what exactly is spaced learning? Well, it’s a learning methodology where learners are presented with material they have to learn in a timed session, with a short break provided after they’ve completed it. Spaced learning strengthens memory retention because the learner studies the information, and periodically returns to review it in order to retain the knowledge.  The learner also practices retrieving the learned information using
