More than Mobile – Beating the Forgetting Curve
Donald Clark, Board Member Ufi and Non-Executive Director, Learning Pool.
Let’s be honest … people forget most of what they have been taught very quickly and, until now, no new technology addressed that. The forgetting curve will always defeat a single learning intervention. Spacing learning over time, however, has been shown to tackle memory’s natural inclination to fade. Couple that spacing to mobile devices and you have a winner. In this session Donald Clark explores how an app-based plugin to Moodle and Totara LMS could help fix the forgetting curve and raise job performance through improved retention.
- Improving learner retention in the workplace
- Practical advice on implementing spaced practice
- Is today’s mobile learning really any good?
- Reaching dispersed workforces with real ‘just in time’ training
- Fortifying knowledge with catch-up and repetition
