This app has been with us for almost eight years. This time a new learning mode was added.[\/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size=”80″][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section vertical_align=”top” bg_color=”#fafafa” attachment=”fixed” js_vertical_centered=”true” padding_top=”0″ padding_bottom=”0″ sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column][mk_padding_divider size=”80″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”false” css=”.vc_custom_1588696597434{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n
Because, with this new update, you can learn more efficiently at university.[\/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size=”80″][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][mk_page_section vertical_align=”top” bg_color=”#ffffff” attachment=”fixed” js_vertical_centered=”true” padding_top=”0″ padding_bottom=”0″ sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column width=”1\/2″][mk_padding_divider size=”80″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”false” css=”.vc_custom_1588696618914{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n
The Uniseminar app offers students mobile learning content for their study subjects at university. It can be used in combination with Uniseminar\u2019s physical study cards. With the current version, users get an app with improved usability, and which is technically up to date. In addition, iOS users can now also use the new “Spaced Repetition” learning mode, which allows the contents of cards to be memorized even better.[\/vc_column_text][mk_padding_divider size=”80″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][vc_row fullwidth=”true” fullwidth_content=”false” css=”.vc_custom_1525255312472{background-color: #fafafa !important;}”][vc_column][mk_padding_divider size=”80″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”3553″ img_size=”727 x 365″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”false” css=”.vc_custom_1588696644611{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n
Increase the effectiveness of learning? What is so easy with paper index cards, which provide an easy way to retrieve difficult questions, is a bit more complicated in an app. The user should classify the questions and their answers according to difficulty level, in order to then have the difficult questions presented at more frequent intervals. We wanted to use an adjusted version of the Spaced Repetition algorithm for this new learning mode in the iOS app. Understanding the Spaced Repetition algorithm and finding a suitable one for the Uniseminar app was not as easy as expected. Behind the concept is a complex algorithm that has been developed over many years. Unfortunately the specifications did not really fit the data that we had collected about the learning results of the user. Therefore we had to begin afresh when it came to the design and data.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][mk_padding_divider size=”80″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=”true” fullwidth_content=”false”][vc_column][mk_padding_divider size=”80″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”false” css=”.vc_custom_1588696685843{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n
For the new “Spaced Repetition” learning mode we created a new concept. We chose a simple but effective version of P.A. Wozniak’s Supermemo 2 algorithm, and are happy that the iOS app now offers even more value compared to the “real” index cards. The cards now appear at larger or smaller intervals, depending on whether they have been rated as difficult or easy.<\/p>\n
We brought the app for Android and iOS up to the latest technical standards and made our customer\u2019s sponsors, “Ernst & Young”, visible in the page menu and in the banner. We also improved the usability of the dashboard for the iOS app. The card sets are presented in a clearer way and to facilitate access to the store, we have added a floating action button on the dashboard and in the demo card sets.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”3551″ img_size=”727 x 365″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][mk_padding_divider size=”80″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][mk_page_section vertical_align=”top” bg_color=”#fafafa” attachment=”fixed” js_vertical_centered=”true” padding_top=”0″ padding_bottom=”40″ sidebar=”sidebar-1″][vc_column][mk_padding_divider size=”80″][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text disable_pattern=”false” css=”.vc_custom_1588696722258{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]\n
I would have liked an app like this during my studies, because the app has several advantages that reduce student workload. How many hours did you spend in those days in front of copiers with huge, worn-out folders instead of just downloading the content to your mobile phone? But at the same time, the app also showed me how far away I was academically from being on campus between wheat beer at noon and statistics early Friday evening. A simulated run-through of supposedly simple introductory questions of economics for testing purposes led me directly back to the “caravan-sized” gaps of my university past (“Connect Four”). In my case it remains to be seen to what extent I actually learned for life and not for the alma mater.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”6918″ img_size=”300×300″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/mk_page_section][vc_row][vc_column][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
