How to boost knowledge retention in training with science

💬 Here are some tips for developing Self-Directed Learning: What I experienced during the transition from one field to another is that the real learning happens at the exact moment you feel stuck. When you are facing dead ends and struggling to move forward. That is the moment you should tell yourself that giving up is not an option. That is the time you should take the five-minute break. 💪

The whole team at Matrix Technology Solutions Ltd. are commited to providing teachers with resources, beyond just physical equipment. We see all too often the challenges for instructors and teachers of modern engineering , particularly in engineering. Our commitment is to support thos instructors, and inspire the students. For our latest Industrial Maintenance products, we have developed resources beyond our standard worksheets and curriculum (which still exist in our Learning Centre). This interactive software environment is packed with features, simulation, progress tracking for students and much more. You have got to check this out! Just head to the "Resources" tab at: https://lnkd.in/ePHutpjp to take a look.

My top two tips for online learning: 1) Write things down by hand. 2) Review the material after completing each lesson. Freaking simple, but also incredibly effective.

Inclusive learning means ensuring that learners see themselves reflected in the content and experience, placing them at the center of the process. When learners recognize themselves in what they are learning, it becomes more personally relevant, making it easier to contextualize, retain, and apply the information. https://bit.ly/48dSHys

Trainers and instructors, how can you keep learners engaged and involved with remembering the content and applying the content in relevant ways? 🗨️✒️💡🙌👀🧠👍🗣️🚶📷📝🪧✍️🧭🗺️ "Training from the Back of the Room" - a two-day workshop will teach you how to easily design and deliver a plan that does all that. After implementing the concepts, tools and activities in "Training from the Back of the Room, the learners you're teaching will be engaged as they write, talk, move, draw, experience a variety in learning modalities and contribute as part of a learning community.

Developing effective study habits at an early age helps children build focus, confidence, and a love for learning. Simple practices like setting a daily routine, creating a distraction-free study space, breaking study time into manageable sessions, and using active learning techniques can make a big difference. When kids stay organized, balance study with rest, and practice consistently, they not only improve their academic performance but also develop lifelong learning skills.

The Stepwise Nature of Self-Supervised Learning 🤖 In studying self-supervised learning, we often think of representation learning as a smooth and continuous process. But what emerges is something more structured: a stepwise growth of representations, where the network learns one direction at a time. This figure highlights the symmetry-breaking nature of the process. The system begins in a balanced, unlearned state, and as training unfolds, it “chooses” directions sequentially. Each new direction corresponds to an eigenmode being unlocked, lowering the loss in discrete drops and expanding the dimensionality of the learned space. Rather than being a black-box convergence, self-supervised training can be seen as an orderly unfolding of structure; a staircase of symmetry breaking that gradually builds a rich representation.

Using Groups to Ensure Active Learning Earned on 09/17/25 In ACUE's module Using Groups to Ensure Active Learning, faculty learn to implement the essential components of effective active learning, including providing a rationale for the activity, promoting group interdependence, ensuring accountability among group members, and collecting student feedback to identify strengths and areas for improving the activity. The module helps instructors implement three active learning techniques – Think-Pair-Share, Jigsaw, and Analytic Teams – dependent on the learning objectives they have set for their class session. Individuals who earned this badge (a) implemented technique(s) for Using Groups to Ensure Active Learning and (b) received full credit on a written reflection in which they described their implementation, successes and challenges encountered including student responses, and outlined their plan for continued refinement and use of the teaching practices in this module.

The reality is: giving teachers new materials without meaningful training is like handing someone a power tool with no instruction manual and expecting a masterpiece. We need to stop confusing "access" with "implementation." Teachers don’t just need materials—they need the why, the how, and the confidence to make it their own. That’s when instruction sticks—and student learning actually changes.

If anyone is interested in developing their skills in Distance Learning, a quick thought based on my experience that might be helpful. 💬 Here are some tips for developing this skill: Get up and move every hour, even just for a couple minutes right next to your computer, at the very least. It reinvigorates your focus and studies show it helps retain what you are learning far better!
