Get Ahead, Stay Ahead: Revising for exams using apps and software
When:
—
Venue:
Online
Revising for exams is an important preparation 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.
This online workshop will take place on a link found within the Birkbeck Study Skills Moodle Module.
The resources and recordings will be found after the workshops on the Birkbeck Study Skills Moodle module (student login required) in the Get Ahead, Stay Ahead section.
This workshop will repeat on Tuesday 14th, Saturday 25th and Monday 27th September.
