Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What's JogLab?

OK, what's a Jog?

A jog is a phrase to aid learning and recall of themed information. A Jog is a mnemonic device.

Mnewhat?

Mnemosyne; she's the Greek Goddess of memory and very cool. She's the mother of the nine Muses. You can use JogLab to easily remember all of the Muses.

A crazy phrase made by some Greek Goddess?

And when I've made my jog?

To learn your theme we recommend 1) Note jog & targets 2) Walk with your note testing recall and meaning of target words 3) If possible sleep on it, then repeat the next day. TIP: DRAW your jog. It's a remarkably efficient learning strategy. Please login and share your jog so others can learn from it.
