Extending the Learning by Teaching Canvas System: Maximising Academic   Learning Time
  Time plays an integral role in the realm of e-learning modules. plaimi previously described a canvas for composing e-learning modules. By transitivity, time needs to play an integral role in this canvas. This paper investigates some of the ways it can play said role. Four angles are considered: insights offered by viewing a module composition as a chronicle of modules, the importance of length estimation in time allocation, heightening retention via spaced repetition, and synchronisation attempts at facilitating collaborative learning. The features discovered by this investigation are discussed in a principled learning context, which particularly emphasises academic learning time. Some concrete suggestions are made; to implement: order-awareness, user estimation of module length, spaced-repetition-awareness, and post-module self-assessment. Suggestions for further research are also given.
