customer-centric demands of retail training and the regulated world of banking and
finance – employee knowledge and skills are paramount. Ensuring that training sticks
and translates into on-the-job effectiveness is a constant challenge. This is where
MaxLearn's innovative approach to microlearning, leveraging the powerful combination
of spaced repetition and retrieval practice, provides a game-changing solution for
industries like Insurance, Finance, Retail, Banking, Mining, Health care, Oil and
Gas, and Pharma.
Traditional long-form training often suffers from low retention rates. Employees may
struggle to recall crucial information weeks or even days after completing a module.
MaxLearn tackles this challenge head-on by delivering learning in bite-sized, engaging
modules – microlearning. But the true power lies in how MaxLearn reinforces this
learning: through the strategic application of spaced repetition and retrieval practice.
Spaced Repetition: The Science of Smart Recall
Spaced repetition is a learning technique that involves reviewing material at increasing
intervals over time. Instead of cramming information, MaxLearn's platform intelligently
schedules review sessions based on an individual's learning progress. This method
leverages the "forgetting curve," ensuring that information is revisited just as it's about to
be forgotten, strengthening memory consolidation and long-term retention.
Imagine a pharma sales rep needing to remember intricate details about a new drug.
Instead of a lengthy initial training session, MaxLearn delivers concise modules followed
by strategically timed quizzes and knowledge checks. These reminders, spaced out
appropriately, ensure that critical information stays top-of-mind, leading to more
confident and knowledgeable interactions with healthcare professionals. Similarly, for oil
and gas professionals undergoing oil and gas certification, spaced repetition helps
reinforce crucial safety procedures and operational knowledge, leading to safer and
more efficient work practices.
