International Association for Development of the Information Society, Paper presented at the International Association for Development of the Information Society (IADIS) International Conference on Cognition and Exploratory Learning in the Digital Age (CELDA) (21st, Zagreb, Croatia, Oct 26-28, 2024)
With the rapid growth of digital education, e-learning has become essential for offering accessible and flexible learning opportunities. This paper investigates strategies to achieve long-term learning outcomes and reduce study time in e-learning. It explores various techniques, including self-testing, spaced repetition, and the serial position effect, tailored to both visual and auditory learners. The study compared the effectiveness of these strategies, revealing that self-testing and spaced repetition improve learning and combat forgetting. However, in this context, the serial position effect did not show a noticeable impact on learning outcomes. [For the full proceedings, see ED665357.]
