      Hyper-memorization in a knowledge question

      Hyper-memorization is an advanced feature that ensures participants reach a mastery level on the essential knowledge you want to convey in a course. With this option, the author can be sure that a participant can only complete a module after correctly answering certain key questions. This ensures a real acquisition of fundamental skills.

      Summary

      Hyper-memorization: definition

      Hyper-memorization ensures that a selection of knowledge questions, identified as crucial by the designer, must be correctly answered in order to validate a module. Unlike other knowledge questions, those subjected to hyper-memorization are not just asked once: a participant must answer them correctly before being able to complete the training.

      If a participant answers one of these questions incorrectly, it will be re-asked during a reinforcement phase until the correct answer is given. This reinforcement phase occurs:

      • after the last sub-section containing a knowledge question, or
      • at the end of the module if no specific sub-section is present.

      This ensures that the designer knows a participant who has completed the module has mastered the topics related to the hyper-memorization questions.

      How to activate hyper-memorization

      To activate hyper-memorization on a knowledge question, follow these steps:

      1. Open one of your knowledge questions.
      2. Go to the "More options" tab.
      3. Scroll down the advanced options.
      4. Check the "Key Question: Hyper-memorization memoboost_rose " option.

      Once the option is activated, the hyper-memorization icon memoboost_rosewill appear on the knowledge question.

      Conditions for using hyper-memorization

      Certain conditions must be met to use hyper-memorization:

      • The question must have at least 2 incorrect answers.
      • At least 2 types of educational activities must be selected in the question options.

      Recommendations

      To use hyper-memorization effectively, it's important to strike the right balance between knowledge reinforcement and user experience. Here are some tips:

      • Limit hyper-memorization to 5 questions per module to avoid cognitive overload.
      • Vary the question formats to make the experience less repetitive in case of repeated mistakes.

      Participant experience

      Hyper-memorization impacts several aspects of the participants' learning experience:

      • A warning message is displayed at the beginning of the module, informing the participant that they must correctly answer certain questions to complete the module.

      • A reinforcement phase is triggered at the end of the course or after the relevant sub-section.

      • An automatic memo card is created at the end of the course, gathering the questions the participant had to answer as part of hyper-memorization.

      Frequently asked questions

      Can all questions be activated with hyper-memorization?

      No, only questions that meet the specific conditions (at least 2 incorrect answers and 2 types of educational activities selected) can be activated with hyper-memorization.

      What happens if a participant fails a key question multiple times?

      The question will be re-asked until they succeed, either after the relevant sub-section or at the end of the training.
