Confidence-Based Repetition
These combined concepts of Repetition, Active Recall, and Metacognition work together to
create Brainscape’s unique process of Confidence-Based Repetition (CBR). CBR acts essentially
as your personalized knowledge stream, where bite-sized concepts are repeated one after
another, in Question/Answer pairs, and then re-entered into the repetition queue in intervals
based on your confidence in how well you know them. Low-confidence items (e.g. the 1’s and
2’s) are repeated more often until you upgrade your confidence to higher levels.

"Confidence-based repitition" looks like the direct application of current thinking in neuroscience about how we learn. I wonder how well it really works? It's theory based but not truly field tested.....Not quite iterative research-design-field test-tweak loop Dock's Design course prescribes.

Entrepreneurs in the classroom. Last paragraph of article reads: "But Michael Goldstein, founder of the MATCH charter high school and middle school in Boston, observes that "there's a history several decades long of technology promising to make education better, and teachers finding it remarkably difficult to implement.''

Interesting to look at some of the federal policies that restrict internet use in schools. The incentive for schools to participate is access to an E-rate saver program. This is a bit controversial because it utilizes censorship and restricts the students' freedom to take full advantage of the information available on the Web. The reasons behind the CIPA act are pretty obvious- safety.
