Our Uniquely Engaging Format

The Benefits of our Teacher / Learner Style

What makes Bigger Brains courses different from other content providers is that all of our courses feature two people on screen, a Teacher, and a Learner. We call this our Teacher / Learner style, as the courses replicate a classroom environment for the end user watching. It turns out that there are several biological and
neurological benefits inherent to the classroom that aren’t found in most online training. Bigger Brains’ unique Teacher / Learner style brings several classroom benefits to on-demand learning, including:

Facial Engagement

The human brain is attracted to seeing faces and feels “reward” sensations when viewing a smiling face. Bigger Brains frequently shows the (often smiling) Teacher and Learner on screen.

Classroom Proxy

The on-screen Learner becomes the proxy for the viewer, able to ask questions, respond to questions, and model behavior similar to what would be experienced in a classroom.

Mirror Neurons

Several areas of the human brain exhibit mirror neuron behavior, in which observing another person do something triggers a response as if they are doing it themselves. This is believed to be important for learning new skills.
Computer Screen

Instinctive Elaboration

When the human brain hears a question, it triggers an automatic response, we try to think of the answer. This focuses the viewer’s mind on the material, and increases meaningful cognitive effort around the topic, which facilitates knowledge retention.

Andragogical Structure

Lessons, Sections, Courses, Knowledge Checks, and Supporting Materials are built around consistently structured objectives and outcomes

Cooperative Learning

Students learning in a positive group setting exhibit increased persistence, greater intrinsic motivation, and a deeper understanding of learned materials. The on-screen Learner mimics a group learning experience by being the proxy for the viewer.
