chunkx wins Comenius-EduMedia Award 2022

We are honored to be recognized by the Gesellschaft für P?dagogik, Information und Medien e.V. (GPI) as one of the most outstanding educational media for work, education, school, culture, and leisure. The award not only rewards the years of development of our micro-learning app, but also proves the quality and impact of the continuous and sustainable learning experience with chunkx! Here also, a big thank you to the National Antidoping Agency, which has proven with the GEMEINSAM GEGEN DOPING Academy on chunkx, how successfully a sustainable learning culture can be established.

Berlin, Germany –?The microlearning app chunkx was honored on June 23 at this year's Comenius Award ceremony in Berlin by the Gesellschaft für P?dagogik, Information und Medien e.V. (GPI) as one of the most outstanding educational media for work, training, school, culture, and leisure.

The demand and the market for digital educational media are growing continuously. However, only a fraction can meet the pedagogical, didactic, and technical criteria and establish a sustainable digital educational medium.

With the Comenius-EduMedia Award, GPI has made it its business to test and award digital educational media according to the above criteria. For more than 26 years, the awards have been presented in the categories of digital didactic media products, general digital media products, teaching and learning management systems, and computer games with competence-promoting potential. More than 200 manufacturers, publishers, projects, and authors from 14 different countries took part in the manufacturer-neutral quality check.

The founder Florian Stieler said: "The Comenius EduMedia Award underlines the didactic quality achieved by the National Anti-Doping Agency together with chunkx and confirms the growing demand for digital solutions for adaptive and continuous learning!"

For the award in the category "Digital Didactic Media Product", chunkx convinces not only with its innovative use of artificial intelligence and adaptive algorithms, but also with the pedagogical concept behind it. Based on scientific theories such as "Multi Store Model of Memory", "Information Processing Theory" or "Certainty Based Marking", chunkx lays the foundation for a new learning culture.?The following approaches in particular stood out:

Micro learning units for continuity

To move from static to adaptive learning paths and make invested learning time as effective as possible, chunkx follows the micro-learning approach. Individual learning units are packed into small chunks to make them more "digestible" for the learner. Instead of listening to an extensive course or video/audio contribution once, content is equalised and repeated over longer periods of time. The resulting moments of reflection promote the sustainability of the learning process and enable a deeper anchoring than so-called "bulimic learning" can.

Adaptivity for knowledge-based learning

In chunkx, learning content is selected based on the user's knowledge. Specially developed algorithms not only repeat the microlearning units, but also select them dynamically based on the weaknesses and strengths of the individual user. This selection can be constantly readjusted: With every action the learner takes, the app continues to learn and improve the selection.

Self-determined and connecting learning

In chunkx, learners decide for themselves how long and intensive they want their learning session to be. A button "Start all your channels" can be used to blend several topics in one session. With the touch of a button, chunkx then selects the most suitable microlearning unit from all the topics subscribed to and based on the individual learning history. As a result, topics no longer compete for users' attention, but instead connect and reinforce each other. In addition, the existing learning content is enriched by further relevant information such as published articles, studies or podcasts in the form of postings.

Simple and AI-based content creation

To participate in the new continuous and sustainable learning culture, chunkx offers AI-based content creation. With the click of a button, chunkx users can upload their content, have micro-learning tasks created automatically, and then start learning. This not only engages all learning parties in expanding learning content, but also lets them share knowledge with others in the easiest way possible.
