VCC PIDP 3100 – Fluency Illusions and disrupting it

Please find my first Podcast, I hope you enjoy?

Fluency illusion stood out for me as I recognize the process from my own learning experiences. I’ve noticed that sometimes, when revisiting material for the second time, I feel more confused than before. I used to think I had fully understood it, but upon reviewing, I begin to question myself. However, I now see that this confusion is part of a deeper learning process; it stimulates curiosity and encourages more critical thinking.

My natural reaction was to jump to the conclusion and research how Fluency Illusion can be avoided. This research led me to the article Disrupting Illusions of Fluency (Desai et al., 2018). When given the opportunity I used the “Class Wrapper,” it was a successful experience and very effective. The highlight for me was emailing Dr. Shreyas Desai to confirm the authenticity of the article, I was genuinely elated to receive a reply.
