uniLearn

Each person has their own way of learning. If you ask people this way, they rarely remember the hours of practice and repetition. But even if the individual is unaware of it, some have thought about how to optimize the learning process and minimize forgetting. One of the pioneers in this field was certainly Mr. Ebbinghaus with his forgetting curve, the contents of which have a similarly high validity in the 21st century, as in the 19th century (Bensberg, Gabriele / Messer, Jürgen: Survivalguide Bachelor, 2. Edition Berlin Heidelberg: Springer-Verlag, 2014)

The idea is to use the now widespread mobile devices to set targeted learning impulses after a certain defined waiting period. Thus, the students deepen the learning of the teaching content. An application ("App") with simplified functionality sends independently notifications (so-called push notifications) with a multiple-choice question or action-oriented task on the topic of the previous course (such as lectures) on the participants' mobile device. This also offers an interesting opportunity for the teachers. By answering the questions by the participants, the teachers receive feedback on the learning success of the students.

The uniLearn application also offers the possibility of an evaluation function, which allows an unbureaucratic evaluation, almost free of charge and with the expectation of a higher response rate (compared to the previous methods), to evaluate the study programs. Sensitive data does not need to be shared with third parties this way. The modular design of the application allows an uncomplicated extension of the functional scope, if desired.
