System and method for reinforcing proficiency skill using multi-media

Abstract

A novel system and method to implement a modified Learn-by-Teaching (LdL) method within a video-graphic context. The system and method include a narration step that is structured to cause the student or Group completing a Video Project to simultaneously engage different parts of the brain so as to work in concert to reinforce the proficiency skill being taught. During the narration step, the student must view a silent video while composing a textual script to serve as a voice-over narration. The student must then practice audibly reciting the script. The student is positively challenged during the narration step in two ways: achieve synchronicity with video, and to teaching an inanimate object in the form of an abstract audience of unknown scope. The combination of multi-modal actions and challenges facilitates implementation of a LdL method in a new and powerful way.
