This allows the researcher to investigate questions such as ‘does algorithm selection impact how quickly users learn flashcards’ or ‘do customizations correlate with increased quiz scores’ or any other avenue the researcher sees fit to pursue. Conclusion OpenFluency is an Open source free application that adopts multiple proven flashcard language learning tools, and incorporates them into a single platform. The efficiency of many elements of OpenFluency’s core functionality (e.g. spaced-repetition algorithms in flashcards) is supported by sound research. Each element, by itself, does not provide the optimal flashcard learning environment or experience. But, this application seeks to maximize the benefit of each individual tool or learning method it employs, by incorporating a design in which its components mutually complement. OpenFluency is also convenient. It takes the best ideas from multiple related platforms and puts them together into a robust easy to install, easy to use, easy to extend…
MGMT 3560 Write up #1 A Dollar game in class where students in class spent a dollar each to buy flashcard. Some of the flashcards are blank and few of them have dollar signs on them which was randomly distributed amongst the students in class. In order to receive the jackpot of $8 you need to have a flashcard with dollar sign on it and a student with a dollar sign flashcard must make a deal with at least one student with a blank card.

he two types of supplementary materials that a teacher can use to promote the students' English reading development is to use a visual meaning-base strategy and auditory discrimination. If a teacher uses visual meaning-base strategies this will help his or her students see a word or letter and correspond it with its meaning. With that being said, if the student L1 is transparent, then the students can benefit from having almost the same alphabet letters. The students will only need to go over…
to examine the effects of how Beginner level English Language Learners best learn high frequency Dolch sight words in terms of identification and application by using an iPad technology, and (b) to evaluate satisfaction and motivation among participants in the use of iPads in the sight word acquisition. The participants will consist of three kindergarten English as a Second Language (ESL) students. A multiple baseline single subject design with AB phases will be used. A baseline assessment using…
education is the practice of studying for course work. For myself, I still struggle with this important skill and always seeking new habits and methods to sharpen my studying skills. A huge understanding and realization for myself to help me understand and retain information has to do with how I first take the information in. A good way for myself to really grasp the concept of transferring simple sounds or images into meaningful words, this is known as semantically encoding information. (Nevid,…
Retrieval is the act of recalling or remembering stored information when it is needed. Again using the computer as an example, the retrieval would be when a person is able to pull up something that has been stored in the computer's hard drive and is know able to see it on the computer’s monitor. During the test your working memory is active and is retrieving all of the encoded information that has been stored in your brain from going over the flashcards. It’s incredibly fascinating what the…
auditory, and kinesthetic categories. I rely on several strategies to help me learn. First, I always make flashcards after reading chapters from books or after lectures. Even if I do not have time to study from them, simply writing out the definitions, dates, or names helps me to remember them. I use different colored cards for different chapters and subjects. For example, my occupational therapy flashcards are green and my psychology flashcards are white. I study from flashcards by having a…
on the other hand, would say things such as, “it was stupid” or “boring”. Student B would also inform me that he had gotten in trouble at school and was obviously proud of this. Student A found schoolwork to be more difficult than Student B did. Student A hated reading time because it took him a long time to read the book of the day. Student B did not enjoy reading, but he read well and was good at sounding out words he was unfamiliar with. In my “toolbox” Sister Margarita provided each week, I…
