Seventh IEEE International Conference on Advanced Learning Technologies (ICALT 2007) Long-term Memory of Foreign-word Learning by Short Movies for iPods Niigata, Japan July 18-July 20 ISBN: 0-7695-2916-X
In this study, we proposed and implemented "MultiPod", an online educational system for learning foreign words. This system is based on iPods and it uses word learning materials of very short movies. Each learning material consists of a 5-second moving image that corresponds to the word to be learned, its spelling, and its pronunciation. We conducted an evaluation experiment with ten subjects in which we compared the learning method based on our system against the traditional paper-and-pen method. By the t-test for the results, we proved that there is a significant difference between the long-term effectiveness of MultiPod and that of the paper-and-pen method.
