Summary/Abstract: There’s always a good deal of demand for new instructional models, especially the kind of models that are empirically tested and statistically validated, that is, scientifically proven to work. But when models are also experiencing with either new, outlandish and/or old, dusty learning theories, things can easily become interesting. While literature and research continues to pile up on popular learning theories mostly revolving around learning experiences and MOOCS – which seem to be the newest trend – most tend to forget or ignore that learning is, first of all, intrinsically fun and it’s the kind of fun which is innate. This article aims to provide not only evidence of a partially-validated instructional model based on new media, harnessing the power of a dusty learning theory – implicit learning, but also a guide on how the instructional model should be replicated and used by educators.
