MentorMate Introduces iQpakk™ for Mobile Devices St Paul, Minnesota-August 11, 2002 – MentorMate, LLC, a Twin Cities-based mobile e-learning software developer and services company founded in 2001 and CEO, Bjorn Stansvik, is leading the organization in conjunction with the advisory board to commercialize the iQpakk software application.
In conjunction with PalmOne and Plato Learning, MentorMate is positioning iQpakk to be the leading mobile-learning application designed to delivery rich content seamlessly via mobile devices to students. iQpakk is designed to prevent learner frustration and fatigue, increase retention of information over time, and match learner ability with difficulty of material. iQpakk utilizes the right approach to deliver content that becomes increasingly more challenging as the student learns and succeeds. The right:challenge works by inducing multiple memory traces rapidly, but automatically varying the semantic form of the question. An analogy would be forming a path in a forest. If only one person walks, there is not much of a path. If multiple people follow the same route, a path starts forming. In a similar way, right:challenge aims to assist in forming retention, then retention without the support of context, and finally, understanding of the interrelationships of the bits of knowledge acquired.
