St Paul, Minnesota-July 12, 2001 – MentorMate, LLC, a Twin Cities-based mobile-learning software developer and services company introduces iQpakk which is first of its kind mobile learning content management system that is patented and is designed to prevent learner frustration and fatigue, increase retention of information over time and match learner ability with difficulty of material. The application is based on the “right” system approach (see below). Designed to deliver knowledge based learning in an environment where questions and training become more complex as the student learns and grows in their knowledge of the relevant subject matter.

RightChallenge is an educational tool designed to:

• Prevent learner frustration and fatigue
• Increase retention of information over time
• Match learner ability with difficulty of material

The RightChallenge method:

right:challenge slowly increases the difficulty level of material over time. At certain intervals, the learner's comprehension of the material is tested. If material seems to be too challenging for the learner, right:challenge responds by decreasing difficulty. If material seems to be too easy, right:challenge responds by challenging the learner further. This means that the cognitive challenge is kept in the appropriate and ideal zone.

How RightChallenge creates the ideal learning environment:

In order to retain information, the human brain must form a strong synaptic network. According to a Princeton University study, Synaptic Reentry Reinforcement Based Network Model for Long-Term Memory Consolidation:

"...new rounds of synaptic modification triggered by memory reactivation...lead to...consolidation...of memory traces."

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.
