Study with AI

Study techniques and AI

This introductory webinar provides an overview of effective study techniques and how AI tools can enhance the learning process. We emphasize the importance of using AI as a support to reinforce learning rather than letting these tools do the work for us.

Overview and planning

AI tools can help us gain a clear understanding of what will be covered in different courses. Additionally, AI can act as a sounding board for identifying what we already know and why new knowledge is relevant, aiding us in planning our studies more effectively.

AI for mnemonics

This webinar focuses on improving memory by consciously connecting new knowledge to prior experiences and facts. AI tools, with their ability for creative association, can help us form strong and vivid memory links, making it easier to retain what we learn.

Understanding through AI analogies

AI can uniquely create analogies, metaphors, and examples, even for the most complex concepts. In this session, we demonstrate how to systematically use AI to create analogies that make complex subjects easier to understand and remember.

Repetition and reflection

This webinar examines how AI can help us organize our daily learning, keep track of what we've learned, and support us in reviewing, reflecting on, and testing our knowledge. By using AI, we can deepen our understanding and retain our knowledge over time.

Getting started and overcoming procrastination

We discuss how AI can lower the barrier to starting studies and help combat procrastination. AI can be a motivational partner or study buddy, helping us find motivation and focus on our goals.

AI and reading

This webinar explores how AI can revolutionize how we read digital texts. With AI’s ability to summarize and delve deeper into the content, we can read more efficiently and explore the depth of texts in new ways.

Introduction

What are study skills? How do you learn more in a given time? This video is an overview of study skills. We talk about different types of knowledge, reading skills, and how to build good study habits and use your time efficiently.

Three types of study sessions

Most study techniques belong to one of three categories:
Before: Overview, preview, planning.
During: Active learning.
After: Repetition and reflection.

Plan your studies

Get it done: Habits and routines for learning

Study skills are more than just about learning; they are also about studying regularly without putting things off for tomorrow. What techniques can you use to build regular habits and avoid procrastination?

Study technique for mathematics

Problem-solving

Studying mathematics or technical courses is different since much knowledge is about applied problem solving and theoretical understanding. This is a practical skill that we have to apply in the right way.

Get better at reading course literature

How to read course literature

Reading academic literature is different from reading fiction. We need to read course books in several steps or stages. We start by familiarising ourselves, then go into the details and learn the relevant information.

This webinar explores how AI can revolutionize how we read digital texts. With AI’s ability to summarize and delve deeper into the content, we can read more efficiently and explore the depth of texts in new ways.

Memory techniques

How to remember what you learn

Memory is not a fixed quantity. We can improve our memory power by using well-known strategies. Clever association techniques combined with good repetition strategies make all the difference.

AI for mnemonics

This webinar focuses on improving memory by consciously connecting new knowledge to prior experiences and facts. AI tools, with their ability for creative association, can help us form strong and vivid memory links, making it easier to retain what we learn.
