Whether it is online learning or classroom learning, my students need to remember concepts, facts, principles, procedures and processes.
There are many ways to remember things. However, before starting to remember, it is best to understand how our brain works. Essentially, we have the sensory memory, the short-term memory and the long-term memory.
A quick understanding of memory strategies is given by Regina G. Richards in her blog on "Making It Stick: Memorable Strategies to Enhance Learning". You can read this interesting and practical blog at this website:

Regina recommended using the RIP toolbox to assist us to remember better. R is for repetition; I is for imagery and P is for patterns.
One remembers something better when one keeps repeating the stuff that need to be remembered..
In the same way, if we associate something with moving or even auditory images, we can remember better.
Lastly, when there is a pattern, chances of us recalling that something will become easier.
So, the mnemonic for this article is RIP - Repetition, Imagery and Pattern.
