Learning Vocabulary

How can a PC help us learn or acquire new vocabulary?

The usual principle is based on Ebbinghaus' theories of recollection.
Professional software includes for example the ReWise module (used by Langmaster). Some of their courses are also offered online for free!

Simple online references and test are available in Vocabosaurus - you can study various languages, add your own vocabulary lists, search for gammatical forms...

Offline vocabulary practice is organised in jpVocabulary software. Installation is not required, the program works form any medium, preferably a memory stick.

HOMEWORK:
Download jpvocaulary, choose and insert a set of new words you need for an exam (English or any other language), set a plan and try to invest your time and effort into brief daily vocabulary revision and learning. You can revise 100 words and learn max. 10 new items per day. Keep going at least untill the end of the year; we will compare your experiences in the first week of January. Good luck!

Moodle

E-learning is a popular and worldwide form of supporting students, especially in distance programs.
E-learning materials reflect the content and form of a textbook, and add the necessary feedback which in a real class would be provided by the teacher.

When creating an e-learning course, we usually use one of the free platforms available; Moodle became probably the best known and most used platform.
The platform enables the user to create a course in the same way we create textbooks or worksheets: adding information, resources, references, tasks, tests...

When creating the material, we consider (apart form the learner, aims, teaching situation and other features of the real life) the FORM and CONTENT.

The FORM includes the logical organisation, navigation, graphics, icons, images...
The CONTENT includes the topic, the information we present, and the ways they are processed.
