Revising for exams is an important preparation to make to make sure you represent your potential. Using multisensory methods can help to consolidate information in your memory. Using apps and software can facilitate this kind of multisensory learning.
This workshop will:
- Address some of the common barriers to exam revision
- Introduce some strategies for approaching exam revision effectively
- Give a tour of apps and software to facilitate multisensory learning
The suggested strategies will focus on some tools that are freely available on most computers and mobile devices, as well as offering some suggestions for low-cost apps. There are also options for students who would find it helpful to invest in more advanced software.
