Through last week’s blog, I found out that many students are using Quizlet, and I talked about the advantages of Quizlet and why I like it even though it is a passive learning software. Next, I want to improve my original blog by incorporating the multimedia teaching principles I learned in EDCI 337.
Firstly, I want to improve is the Dual-coding theory of Quizlet and my original blog. What we know is that Quizlet’s has only textual explanations of words, phrases, and sentences; it does not give any image memory and association with knowledge. dual-coding theory helps us to understand and remember knowledge better in learning by combining the functions of the left and right brain. If Quizlet can improve the two parts of words and explanations into words, explanations, and pictures, I believe it will provide more help to students who use it. In addition, In my original blog, only had some relevant screenshots and no details related to the Quizlet. So, I will enrich my content by making my pictures.
The part 1 is the word I want to remember, “curtain”, and the part 2 is the Chinese meaning of the word. Now, I will add the third part: picture memory.
Now, whether it’s my blog or Quizlet, doesn’t it look richer and easier to understand? This is the benefit of combining Dual-coding theory.
Secondly , there is a video that will teach you how to use Quizlet:
