Making it last with spaced review

As early as 1885, Ebbinghaus described the forgetting curve: without review, what you have just learnt fades quickly. The review by Cepeda and colleagues shows that spreading reviews out over time leads to much better retention than grouping them. A one-hour training session with no follow-up is therefore largely lost a month later.

In Review, Learnya creates a deck of cards from a document or a topic. Each learner finds the cards due that day in the “Today” screen. They say whether the answer came easily, with difficulty or not at all, and the FSRS spaced repetition algorithm works out when to show each card next.

1. Go through the suggested cards.
2. Reword an ambiguous question and delete a duplicate.
3. Share the deck with the participants at the end of the training.
4. Recommend a few minutes a day rather than one long session.
