We've had a lot success in classrooms and the field but explaining how RebilderU's accelerated learning process works online has been difficult. While it does require a new way of thinking, the underlying process is incredibly simple and effective.

Check it out here: http://www.rebilderu.com/how-guided-mnemonic-learning-works/

If you have any feedback on the explanation or what doesn't make sense we'd really appreciate it.

I personally knew the method under the name "memory palace" but not "memory of Loci". You should maybe mention both terms.

Why don't you link to the Wikipedia page as well ? The Wikipedia pages refers to multiple Sherlock episodes where the method is visually shown to the audience. You could eventually add a video extract, but as far as I remember, they are rather cheesy.

Great idea, thanks! We're currently developing a series of videos to replace the explanation so I'll definitely look into the sherlock series and see how they've portrayed it.
