Kennis Tijd Ebbinghaus’ forgetting curve Time Knowledge/ retention Hermann Ebbinghaus (January 24, 1850 – February 26, 1909) was a German psychologist who pioneered the experimental study of memory, and is known for his discovery of the forgetting curve and the spacing effect. He was also the first person to describe the learning curve. (Wikipedia)

- 15. Dr. Kim Dirkx "Testing effect" The first documented empirical studies on the testing effect were published in 1909 by Edwina E. Abbott.
- 16. Research confirms that evaluating and examining have several advantages, the most important advantage, so called: "Testing effect" = testing or evaluation itself has a major and very positive influence on learning or memorizing information.
- 17. Testing effect Roediger e.a. (2011) Carrier and Pashler (1992): testing does not just provide an additional practice opportunity, but produces better results than other forms of studying
- 18. #exams_are_good_for_you promote testing/evaluating as a positive thing!
- 19. Further research confirms Dirkx e.a. (2014): especially in the longer term, information was much better remembered if, in addition to or after a learning effort, there was also a test about what was learned: an immediate test after offering new information.
- 20. #technology_can_do_that technology-supported environments can excellently offer alternating learning and testing paths!
- 21. What if…
- 22. IMHO osmosis.org has the best videos on this topic
- 23. The power of feedback • Important to integrate immediate feedback in the testing • Correct/wrong (+score) • Qualitative feedback (explaining, showing,…)
- 24. Showing feedback “in” a test or exam: #technology_can_do_that • In linear navigation mode: automatic feedback option • In free navigation mode: show feedback on “submit”
- 25. #technology_can_do_that • Less common but perfectly possible: show immediate feedback to the examinee • impossible in written exams! Technology can do that.

- 28. Revision today… Impossible to get overviews and statistics and evolutions… Impossible to be consistent and objective
- 38. Big Wrong Data… “Afval bestaat niet” (There’s no such thing as waste)
- 39. Let’s have a look at some revision memories • Revision memory insights • The magic of Excel pivot tables… • Numbers of errors • How many different errors? • Frequency of errors • Which categories of errors? • Score distribution • Per category • Per revisor • …
