The Science Behind Lasting Knowledge
Spaced repetition is a powerful cognitive technique that involves scheduling review
sessions at progressively increasing intervals after the initial exposure. This strategy
combats the brain's natural tendency to forget by triggering retrieval just as the
memory trace begins to fade, reinforcing the learning pathway.
MaxLearn integrates this science directly into its learning architecture.
1. The Microlearning LMS as Memory Manager
MaxLearn’s dedicated Microlearning LMS is built to automate this scientific process
without burdening the employee or the L&D team.
Automated Reinforcement: After an employee completes a Microlearning
Course—perhaps a complex trading regulation update in Banking or a new safety
protocol in Mining—the system automatically schedules short, engaging review
challenges.
Intelligent Timing: The platform, serving as a powerful Microlearning Tool, precisely
calculates the optimal time for these check-ins based on cognitive research,
ensuring maximum reinforcement with minimum time expenditure.
2. Focused Content for High-Stakes Recall
Retention is only valuable if the retained knowledge is accurate and immediately
applicable.
Singular Focus: Every review exercise delivered via the mobile-first Microlearning
Application focuses on the singular, actionable objective of the original lesson. For
an employee in Oil and Gas, a quick quiz might concentrate only on "The three steps
for safely isolating a specific type of valve," ensuring instant recall during a critical
moment.
Content Currency: Even the reinforcement content is dynamically managed.
MaxLearn leverages its AI-powered Authoring Tool and specialized Microlearning
Authoring Tools to ensure that all reinforcement snippets across the Microlearning
Platforms are based on the latest compliance rules in Insurance.
The AI Advantage: Personalizing the Fight Against Forgetting
Knowledge decay is not uniform. Some employees require more reinforcement than
others, and the system must adapt.
