- Title
Old Tricks Are the Best Tricks: Repurposing Programmed Instruction in the Mobile, Digital Age.
- Authors
Feeney, Robert
- Abstract
This article describes an interesting mash-up between programmed instruction and cloud-based, mobile technology currently being used for learning retention and habit formation, both in enterprise settings and in the public. The technology is called Ringorang (ring-o-rang), and it delivers practical, incentive-based education and behavioral impacts. It is an app for mobile and PC devices that produces tangible performance results by interweaving multiple components of behaviorism (and its derivatives) in a deceptively simple user experience: the app asks you a question and incentivizes you to answer. In some regards, it is a modern take on the teaching machine, with a few new tricks thrown in.
