27 January - Zaid Ali Alsagoff (International Medical University’s e-Learning Manager) was voted No. 1 in the World (and Asia-Pacific) on the ‘Top e-Learning Movers & Shakers in 2013’ (TEMS13) poll based on votes from 1861 learning professionals/educators around the world. Hasnain Baloch, IMU’s Senior Instructional Designer was No 6 in the World, and No 3 in Asia-Pacific according to the same poll. A big congratulations to both!

On the 13rd of March 2014, a very interesting talk show was supervised by Muslim Society held in auditorium of IMU. Truthfully speaking, there were array of beneficial knowledge in fast and yet creative learning in order to boost the students academic performance. (Wee!! )

Out of curiosity, He, Zaid Ali Alsagoff, asked us on how much time we have spent on facebook, and preparing beforehand of lectures (i don't remember some other questions. heh.) Well, that's make us reflect on ourselves on how much we waste our time for useless matter.

In boosting our memory performance, we should always keep repeating to revise on that particular facts, after 24 hours, after a week and after a month!

Short term memory : Repeat to Remember

Long term memory: Remember to Repeat

We were also asked to check our speed reading. You can take test online here. Speed Reading Test Online
(Mine was only 317 wpm! there was a guy who get 1000+ wpm!! I don't either its fake or not, just believe it then, to inspire us )

Food plays a very vital role. Like Banana, Omega-3 food stuffs and others, i don't remember, this based on facts talked by a nutrition and dietition student.

Hmm.. Well, what's else?

Oh yeah! How about Focus and Attention?

To enhance your learning performance, focus and attention were very crucial. In a class/lecture, a study proved that students memory performance only good at the first 10 minutes and the last 10 minutes only. So, a time break should be given priority especially when it comes to the class of 2 hours or maybe 3 hours?!

And, Superbrain Yoga!
