Reminder: Why are we doing this?
› SlimStampen leads to better knowledge retention when learning facts than other methods.

What we wanted to test
› (1) Is SlimStampen helpful for students with learning disabilities?
› (2) Is SlimStampen suitable for multiple choice questions?
› (3) Is computer-learning (especially SlimStampen) fun?

Limitations
› (1) Small group sizes.
› (2) Variability within/between groups.
› (3) Variability in question items.

Limitations: (2) Group variability

Limitations: (3) Question variability
a) Different types of questions in one list
Example: First Aid questionnairesQ1 = What number do you call for emergency services in the Europe?
Q2 = How many chest compressions and breaths should you give in CPR?
/a) 20:1 /b) 30:4 /c) 30:2 /d) 30:3

Limitations: (3) Question variability
b) Different types of questions between lists
Example: First Aid & questionnairesQ1 = What number do you call for emergency services in the Europe?
Q2 = NIC: Network Interface Card
Is the SlimStampen method affected by question length?
04/21/23 | 19
Limitations: Possible solutions
Statistically separate MC and essay questions
Statistically take into account question length
Combine groups of participants (e.g. all first aid courses) to increase sample size
Collect more data

› Is computer-learning (especially SlimStampen) fun?
› Do students think it is useful?
Motivation and learning satisfaction

Motivation and learning satisfaction
› Do the students like to use the computer for their studies? – Yes!
› Is it more fun to study with SlimStampen than with the flashcard method? – We don’t know yet.
04/21/23 | 23
Future directions
› Assess whether learning satisfaction is greater for SS compared to FC
› Do thorough statistical analysis on final data sets
take into account details of learning sessions + whether items are MC or essay
› Ongoing data acquisition at Rea college
