COGNITIVE LOAD THEORY

High quality reading is difficult, one of the most important tasks is to ‘come to terms’ [1] with the text. You need to be able to understand >95% of the words very well, to fully understand any text [2]. Most students do not have this level of understanding [3,4]. This is particularly prominent in the sciences.

Sometimes classical textbooks induce a high cognitive load [5], meaning the layout and structure makes it harder to learn.

Our solution: our textbook is unique. Drop-downs, supplementary audio, graphics and question-based all work to stimulate thinking and minimise extraneous load! The BEST way to read.

mastery & active learning

Students need resources that can be relied upon throughout the year [6].

Our solution: our question bank stretches you, keeps you thinking all year long and provides immediate feedback so you know EXACTLY how to improve.

Our focus on Mastery Learning [7,8] is because we believe with the right method you can have that ‘light bulb’ moment and fully understand the topics.

BLOOMS TAXONOMY OF LEARNING

Flashcards can sometimes do more harm than good, making us switch off [9]!

Our solution: we utilise Bloom’s taxonomy so you ascend through the difficulty levels of the flashcards. You will always be at a level of difficulty appropriate to your knowledge.
