Study Plan

Curated Study Plans for your school

Introduction

With Study Plans we have the possibility to

  • Adapt the material to your course
  • Guide you through the material in a smart way
  • Give you tools for assessing your knowledge level
  • Make it possible to study with Test Enhanced Learning and Spaced Repetition

Why

We have always focused on the student’s learning path, constantly trying to make it as efficient and engaging as possible.

We found that we needed a way to adapt the material to each school, term and/or class. We solved this with Study Plans: a place where you as a student gather all the material you need to pass the course, adapted to you.

In a Study Plan you can add chapters from several books, just like you add songs from different albums in a music playlist, and remove the chapters that are redundant for your course.

What

Optimised study flow
We have made it easy to follow the optimal study path: Just read and answer questions!

Read and answer questions

At the bottom of each chapter you will find the Continue-button. This will start a question session on the chapter you have just read. We add questions that you need to repeat to the question session from chapters you have already read, integrating study and repetition.

Press Continue after answering questions to read the next chapter in the Study Plan

After answering questions you can follow the study path of the Study Plan by clicking Continue which will take you to the next chapter.

Assess you knowledge level
By repeating questions as part of your study flow you are constantly assessing your knowledge level and updating the statistics for each chapter in the Study Plan.

Assess your knowledge level in the Study Plan by checking Chapter stats

We give you a detailed breakdown of statistics and time spent on different parts of the Study Plan under the Statistics-tab.

Detailed statistics on questions and study time

Smart repetition
The best way to rehearse knowledge is to answer questions on that knowledge – Test Enhanced Learning. And the most efficient way to select the questions is via Spaced Repetition. We help you in this by selecting the 10 most urgent questions that you are likely to forget when you click on the Smart repetition button in the Study Plan.

Repeat the questions you are most likely to forget with the Smart repetition function

Getting started

The easiest way to get started is to follow an existing Study plan.

Follow an existing Study Plan

If you want to create your own Study Plan it’s as simple as creating one based on a Book, or creating an empty one from scratch.

Get started by copying the chapters of a book to a new Study Plan

If you create the Study Plan and become its owner, you have the ability to add, remove and rearrange chapters. You also have the ability to add Exams as well as text and images to existing chapters. And in the near future you will be able to add questions.

By adding other students as Administrators you can cooperate on managing a Study Plan. And the Invite function gives you the possibility to share it with your classmates.

HolonIQ was founded in 2018 with the vision of building the trusted global source of education market intelligence in order to connect the people, ideas and capital that are driving and supporting innovation from pre-k through to life-long learning.

If you are interested in the Edtech market they have some really interesting research to take part of at https://www.holoniq.com/research/

We are constantly striving to release innovative features and have a team working with researchers to improve the learning experience in a scientific and data driven way, while creating a user friendly guide to optimal learning.

Analytics with Magnus

Cortexio has had a research focus since the start, with the intent on improving the student efficiency by leveraging data gathered from the study sessions.

Magnus Ödman has been working full time with this since 2018 at Cortexio. Here are some thoughts from Magnus.

(Cortexio is the learning platform created by Hypocampus AB.)

Background

Education:
Master in Engineering Physics at Chalmers University.
Career:
IT consultant for over 15 years with a wide range of assignments, most recently at Volvo Cars.
On his spare time:
Plays guitar and sings in a band, plays old boys football and cuddles with his dog.

Work on Cortexio

Magnus has developed a new Analytics service for Cortexio that collects and processes study activity. This service makes it possible to give better recommendations for each student on what to study and which questions to repeat.

How much data do you gather on a normal day?

We log 500 000 student interactions every day. An interaction can be a student reading a chapter in a book or answering a question. The interaction analytic data has doubled since last year.

What are you working on right now?

We are refining the  spaced repetition algorithm for a better user experience. I think we nailed it for our new users but we have to improve the experience for long term users.

What does a normal day at the office look like?

In the morning we have a standup where we discuss what we plan to achieve that day. Then there is a lot of thinking, discussing, programming and coffee drinking.

What will you work on next?

Cortexio is expanding with new partners. In the next 6 months we want to offer them analytics services to help them build successful sites giving their users the best possible learning experience.
