What if learning was byte-able?
Last-minute studies:
Admit it. Whenever we pick books, we look at its size and the last page before starting it — or place it back on the shelf, intimidated by its bulkiness.
Gone are the days when people had patience to pore over passages in books.
How many of us are guilty of peeking at our phones during lectures, or even in work spaces?
We live in a digital era where we check our phones more out of habit than notification flashes. Banning personal electronic devices at places of work and education can never be a wise solution. The more we try to curb the usage, the more becomes the addiction! The lure of a forbidden fruit, perhaps.
The solution, therefore, lies in the byte-sized learning nuggets. These small learning chunks — spread across multiple sessions — ensure higher assimilation of knowledge in comparison to a single session of intensive knowledge transfer.
Mobile learning — adding value to your existing skills:
Combining the problem of attention span and mobile addiction, here’s our digital solution:
Instead of letting mobile phones distract you from the work you do, why not let it be the source of adding value to your work?
What if you could learn using your phone? That too, in installments of 3–5 minute videos that explain every concept with practical examples!
No more long reads of ‘how something works’ or the predictable ‘for example’ at the end; get instant gratification by having your content available to you while having snacks.
In the era where almost everything needs a ‘how-to guide’, you don’t want to waste your snack time reading a long manual, do you? Wouldn’t you rather just watch a one-minute short video?
Games:
Wondering whether a game or chat notification would distract your learning?
Well, when you have games within your syllabus — even if it is to test your knowledge — you would want to find out your score before doing anything else.
What’s more, you can compete with your friends to see who rocks the leaderboard with the highest score.
Finally, you have an amazing excuse for sitting with your phone for hours and can get away with it too, because you are studying!
E-learning is the future of education. Don’t you agree?
