- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What is technological affordance, and what is its relationship with pervasive digital technologies?
(Het uiterste uit een technologie halen)
These affordances of pervasive technologies create innovations that are characterised by convergence and generativity.
How do the affordances of pervasive digital technology enable innovations of convergence?
- Bringing previous user experiences together (user practices)
- Bringing together previously seperate industries (industry boundaries)
- Embedding digital technology in previously non-digital artifacts i.e smart products(object boundaries)
What is an example of convergence through user experiences?
What is an example of convergence through object boundaries?
What is an example of convergence through industry boundaries?
What are the different ways that pervasive digital technology's create generative innovations?
- Procrastinated binding of form and function (new capabilities can now be added after a product or tool has been designed and produced)
- Wakes of innovation
- Digital traces as by-products
What is an example of generativity through 'wakes of innovation'?
What is an example of pervasive digital technology being generative through 'digital traces as by-products'?
The role of a platform for innovations with pervasive digital technology can be seen from two different perspectives, what are those perspectives?
- Firms now innovate by creating platforms, rather than single products.
- Platforms in combination with the digitalisation of tools and components within organisations are now used within organisations to support different functions (ERP systems, patient databases in combination with other tools)
What are the implications for organisations of managing the balance of generativity and control of platforms?
- Too much control drives out third party developers (old IOS applestore design)
- Too little control causes fragmentation and the platform becomes less useful and can no longer capture value
- The use of standardised tools and services within organisations value chains make organisations share more data and processes accros organisational boundaries
3. Horizontal innovation activities
- Because efficiencies are gained by applying the same innovation activities and knowledge across multiple platforms or products (same app can be developed for multiple devices and products)
What is the relationship between the second trait of innovations with pervasive technology, distributed innovations, and Open Innovation (Chesbrough)?
What are two results of the increasingly distributed nature of innovation?
- Innovations are increasingly moving towards the periphery of the organisation
- It increases the heterogeneity of knowledge resources needed to innovate
What are the important organisational implications of distributed innovation?
- Knowledge resources will be increasingly heterogeneous and often only temporarily integrated.
- It requires that others be enabled to innovate as well (by means of API's and open data and Software Development Kits)
- Emergence of new industrial structures
- New forms of risk (e.g. Misplaced trust in distributed innovations)
What is meant wit combinatorial innovation?
What is an example of combinatorial innovation?
What are the important implications for organisational science of Combinatorial Innovation according to Yoo et al.?
- Recombination as a source of novelty
- Importance of modularity (building in standardised interfaces to enable possiblities for recombination in advance
- Anticipating future recombination without knowing the 'whole' design (boundary of a product is inherently unkown)
- Different S-curve of diffusion (not the normal S-curve, but contagious spread)
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
