✓ Bonus4 pillars of learning
Stanislas Dehaene, cognitive psychologist, neuroscientist and professor at Collège de France, identified 4 pillars of successful learning. Wooclap puts each one into practice.
It is impossible to learn if one doesn’t pay attention. Interactive questions help capture and maintain students’ attention throughout the presentation.
✓ Pillar 1Listening passively is not enough. Polls, quizzes and word clouds encourage students to think critically and interact in real time, in person or remotely.
✓ Pillar 2Errors are useful if we understand why they were made. Students get immediate feedback, and teachers can analyse all results question by question.
✓ Pillar 3New knowledge needs to be consolidated. Start a session with a few questions on previous content, or share quizzes students can take at their own pace.
✓ Pillar 4The source
