Technology VS Paradigms of Learning

Technology Magni-phi & related phenomena web presentation [positivism, cognitivism]
Description When I was self-learning about psychology last summer, I had a hard time understanding phi and beta in the Gestalt theory. This site provides interactive review to differentiate phi and beta (discoverable fact). I remembered watching the presentation again and again to make sense of it. Still, it’s hard, even with animated presentation (cognitivism), to fully understand the difference between the two. I assumed it’s the fact that I couldn’t unearth from the material.
