Invitation: "Translating knowledge," workshop on spaced repetition prompt-writing
🕑 Added 2020-11-20 19:45:39 +0000 UTCI've been shifting my focus to helping authors learn to write with Orbit. As part of that effort, I'm developing a set of materials to help people develop a personal spaced repetition practice, since I believe that may be a practical prerequisite to using prompts in communication.
If you're interested in learning to internalize complex knowledge using spaced repetition, I'll be running some live workshops on that topic. As members of my lab community, you're invited!
Click here to sign up, and I'll follow up with details. Note that it's a 90 minute workshop with 30–45 minutes of pre-reading, so it's a somewhat serious commitment.
That link's just for you all, so please don't share it—though if you think someone would be excited about this workshop, this might be a nice time to suggest they become a member. :)
You'll also be helping me learn about people's challenges and experiences with this medium: I just ran the first workshop with some kind authors yesterday and learned a great deal. I'll share those insights here as I understand them better.

Yep, for sure! I'm using these workshops in part to help iterate on those materials, but after a few rounds of that, I'll make them available standalone.
There's only one of the listed timeslots I can make, but are you planning on making the pre-reading material available to all Patrons even if they can't make the workshop timeslot?

Good question. Let's just say any SRS prompts at all.
The form asks for prior experience with SRS prompts — are you looking for Quantum Country-style prompts, or just anything SRS based at all? (I have experience with using Anki for rote foreign language vocabulary memorization, but nothing terribly close to what the mnemonic medium seems to suggest.) Thanks Andy, looking forward to this :)
