At Komensky Communications, we specialize in information design and development. Our research focuses on how people best attain information, and how people best retain information. We use our findings to develop attractive and engaging content.
We are a technical communications company, based in Denmark and the United States. We are building a community of information developers: information designers, technical writers, information architects, and instructional designers. This site consolidates the knowledge and experience of these professionals, and shares it with the broader community. If you are interested in how information is produced and transfered, join us at the Komensky Communication wiki.
Our namesake, Jan Amos Komensky (Latinate form: Jan Amos Comenius), is the "Father of Modern Education". Education for Komensky stretches beyond the boundaries of the classroom and encompasses all of life. Komensky Communications develops information in accordance with these principles.
In his Great Didactic, Komensky notes:
The universal requirements of teaching and learning; that is to say, a method of teaching and of learning with such certainty that the desired result must of necessity follow.
And he follows with some principles that he observed in nature which are applicable to education:
1. Nature observes a suitable time.
2. Nature prepares the material, before she begins to give it form.
3. Nature chooses a fit subject to act upon, or first submits one to a suitable treatment in order to make it fit.
4. Nature is not confused in its operations, but in its forward progress advances distinctly from one point to another.
5. In all the operations of nature, development is from within.
6. Nature, in its formative processes, begins with the universal and ends with the particular.
7. Nature makes no leaps, but proceeds step by step.
8. If nature commences anything, it does not leave off until the operation is completed.
9. Nature carefully avoids obstacles and things likely to cause hurt.
