  • (MODE) Motion Design
    2019 CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS Co-Editors: Jillian Coorey, Andre Murnieks, Heather Shaw and Rebecca Tegtmeyer 1 (inter)play MODE stands for Motion Design Education. The MODE Summit began in 2013 as a joint project between three design professors, Andre Mūrnieks, Brian Stone and myself, Gretchen Caldwell Rinnert. Previous MODE Summits were held in South Bend, Indiana (2013), Dublin, Ireland (2015) and Columbus, Ohio (2017). Now in its fourth iteration, with an expanding committee and network, we are proud to share the 2019 conference proceedings. We would like to thank our many sponsors, as they have made this year’s summit possible. Our academic sponsors include Massey University and The College of Creative Arts (CoCA), The Ohio State University, Kent State University, Michigan State University, Brigham Young University, Lesley University, and Herron School of Art + Design. Our professional sponsors include Fox & Co. Design in Wellington, New Zealand, and The LHT Group in Columbus, Ohio. This year represents a change for MODE, as we are unveiling two new ways of participation. First, we are launching the MODE Society for educators. Our goal is to encourage motion design research by creating avenues for dissemination and collaboration. By advancing the theory and practice of Motion Design, we aim to create opportunities for new practices, curriculum, and work. 2 (MODE) Motion Design Education Summit 2019 Edited Conference Proceedings Second, for students, we have introduced MODE Fest, a motion simulate elements in an interplay of movement. Interfaces, design festival for students and emerging professionals, meant to interactive systems, narratives and messaging all incorporate celebrate the very best student work in motion design education.

In Experiment 1A, participants studied 5 words in Arial and SF and then completed an old-new recognition test where words retained 6 their study fonts. While participants correctly identified significantly more words as ‘old’ in SF 7 than in Arial condition, this difference can be explained by a higher tendency to respond ‘old’ for 8 words in SF than Arial.

TEST EXPECTANCY AND SANS FORGETICA 2 19 Abstract 20 Presenting information in a perceptually disfluent format sometimes enhances memory. 21 Recent work examining one type of perceptual disfluency manipulation, Sans Forgetica typeface, 22 has yielded discrepant findings; some studies find support for the idea that the disfluent typeface 23 improves memory while others do not. The current study examined a boundary condition that 24 determines when disfluency is and is not beneficial to learning to explore this discrepancy. 25 Specifically, we investigated whether knowledge about an upcoming test (high test expectancy) 26 versus not (low test expectancy) helps clarify when mnemonic benefits arise for perceptually 27 disfluent stimuli.

  • Sans Forgetica, O Tipo De Letra Que Ajuda a Reter O Que Foi Lido
    Sans Forgetica | The font to remember | RMIT University DESIGN Sans Forgetica, o tipo de letra que ajuda a reter o que foi lido Investigadores de uma universidade australiana apresentaram "o primeiro tipo de letra" desenhado para ajudar os estudantes a reterem o que leram. É quase ilegível — e, por isso, eficaz no processo de memorização. P3 • 12 de Outubro de 2018, 12:55 Sans Forgetica não é um tipo de letra fácil de ler — característica que dá dores de cabeça aos designers, mas que pode ajudar a aliviar as dos estudantes. Isto porque a inclinação para a esquerda e as falhas em cada letra ajudam os leitores a reterem o que leram mais facilmente, acreditam os investigadores que a desenvolveram. Segundo os designers e a equipa do laboratório de estudos comportamentais da universidade RMIT, em Melbourne, Austrália, os tipos de letra sem serifa que apresentaram recentemente é eficaz para memorizar palavras precisamente por ser quase ilegível. “É o princípio de aprendizagem da ‘dificuldade desejada’”, explica Jo Peryman, uma das investigadoras. “Adiciona-se uma obstrução ao processo de aprendizagem de modo a promover um processo de reconhecimento cognitivo mais profundo, o que resulta numa melhor retenção.” As falhas na eAstr uvtuerar dde acaddae le ftraa, zpo-nr eoxesm pmlo,a obirsig faomrtes quem a vê a esforçar-se mentalmente por completar os EM DIAS DE INCERTEZA É BOM TER AO NOSSO LADO A INFORMAÇÃO RESPONSÁVEL. espaços em branco — o que inEsStCaOnLtaHnAe OamS FeAnCtTe OdSe.sacelera APOIE O PÚBLICO também o ritmo de leitura.
