memrise - learning through repetition

 ALL ABOUT MEMRISE!
Memrise (www.memrise.com, and also available as an iPhone or Android app) is a platform that enables users to create collections of content, or “memes,” that combine textual, visual, and auditory cues. These are then published as courses into what is basically a “learning engine” that supports presenting the content to learners and repeatedly testing them on it as they progress. The site also throws in some community and competitive elements – you can “follow” other learners and see how the points you accumulate from your learning activities compare to performance of other learners.

WHY IS SO POPULAR?

There are 3 important ingredients of success:

Science:
The developers have taken into account all popular techniques for better memorization. The use of brain science helps users remember the new vocabulary quickly and without much effort. This is done with the help of mems for the creation of vivid and lasting memories with regular repetition.

Funny:
The next ingredient is to make learning a true entertainment. The creators of the platform have made an emphasis on encouragement and motivation, since learning through playing is much more interesting and attractive. Memrise is compared to a flower garden, where each new remembered word is a flower planted in the garden of memory.

Community:

Learning must be varied so that the community that develops the tool works constantly to make it rich: users are offered numerous materials, including video, audio, interactive materials, mnemonics, etymology, etc. It is suggested that each student share their point of view on the most effective and exciting topic.
