Have you ever met a friend after a few months and had difficulty trying to remember his name? Have you ever clogged your head before an exam, and then forget everything after a week? If you want to quickly extract information from the depths of your brain, then try using the HeadMagnet web service.
HeadMagnet is a service that allows you to create study sheets for their subsequent study using various techniques. Study sheets are a list of questions, hints and answers. At the same time, not only text, but also graphic images can act as questions. For example, a person's face or geographical region. With the help of hints, the process of data recovery is facilitated, and with answers we fix the traversed material. Answers are given both by choosing one of the test options and by entering text.
To start the learning process, you need to select one or more training sheets, adjust the importance for each of the students. Next, we start the lesson, choose the time for the lesson and the number of names to be studied. Next, HeadMagnet will start asking questions, periodically repeating the material that causes difficulties in memorization.
At the end of the lesson, information is provided about the amount studied and about the educational material that caused difficulties. The user profile contains information about the total memory strength, the amount of studied and undeveloped material, as well as the degree of data loss after one to two weeks.
HeadMagnet provides a number of training sheets for general use. You can also create your own using traditional techniques:
If you want to create your own teaching methodology, then I suggest using an illustration and explanation of the mechanism. Study Modes: choose one of the study modes or create your own, following the following points (1). The section "Replicas and answers". In Unused fields, we configure hidden fields. In this case, we remove the hints to the questions (2) from the field of view. In the Cues subsection, select the fields necessary for raising the question: the question itself and possibly a hint (3). In the Answers subsection, we configure the fields that will serve as the answer (4).
The replica settings section "Cue options". In the Presentations subsection for questions, we configure the display mode of the field — always show, show in case of a user request or show in case of an incorrect answer (5). In the Presentations subsection for hints, we also select one of the display modes. In the case of hints, the possibility of hiding before the request or an incorrect answer seems very interesting (6).
Response options — setting up the response submission. You can type the answer on the keyboard (7). A lightweight option is to ignore lower or upper case, punctuation, extra spaces. Complicated version — the answer must be typed in full accordance with the original. Type only the first letters of each word of the answer; choose the answer option "correct" or "false"; choose one of several answer options. With a multivariate answer, the number of options can be adjusted from two to nine (8). And finally, we determine the order of issuing questions or answers.
After selecting the methodology and entering the data, the training sheet is ready for use. If there is no desire to introduce new elements into the training lists, then you can find common lists that other HeadMagnet users have revealed. In the near future, it will be possible to import training sheets from Excel or CSV files and export training sheets on HeadMagnet.
In this article, I talked only about some of the features of HeadMagnet and tried to explain in detail how to create training sheets. I hope the explanations and illustrations will make it easier for you to use this tool and allow you to actively memorize new data.
