The Learning Show, "Don't Forget Forgetting," Now with a Lesson Plan

The Learning Show Episode, "Don't Forget Forgetting," has been available on the web for several months. About 1400 people have accessed the program. In fact, some training departments seem to be sending their whole staff to view it, based on the large numbers from some organizations.

Now, thanks to the initiative and generous contribution of Jim Wright of the Instructional Development and Research department at Thompson Rivers University (TRU), you can get your department or work team involved in an organized effort to utilize these critical learning-design principles.

Check out Jim's thoughtful accompanying "lesson plan" to Episode 1 of the Learning Show by clicking on the link below.

A couple of points about the retrieval curve. Your curve shows 100% recall immediately after the learning event finishes.

1) Isn't that wrong? The learner will only be able to recall a portion of what was covered even immediately afterwards.

2) Tony Buzan frequently uses a curve which shows increasing recall for a few minutes after the learning event finishes before the usual sharp decline. I have contacted Buzan world to ask for a reference to the research behind this but with no luck. Do you know of anything?
