How LearningCurve Helps

Learning Curve promotes retrieval practice through its unique delivery of questions and point system. Students with a firm grasp on the material get plenty of practice but proceed through the activity relatively quickly. Unprepared students are given more questions, therefore requiring that they do what they should be doing anyway if they’re unprepared — practice some more.

How LearningCurve Helps

Learning Curve promotes spacing by helping students master smaller chunks of information more frequently over the course of the term. They are accountable to read the book and practice that material over time. The kind of spacing that LearningCurve promotes is particularly important for intro courses where students need to master foundational information for their major.

How LearningCurve Helps

Students will get instant feedback after every question in LearningCurve. Not only does this help them retain the information overall, but it also corrects them immediately on any misconceptions or mistakes. Learning Curve takes full advantage of this teaching opportunity by not just identifying the correct answer but by also providing detailed feedback as to why an answer might be incorrect. LearningCurve's immediate feedback means students are more likely to answer subsequent questions correctly because their misconceptions have been corrected. They don't have to wait until the end of the quiz to learn.

How LearningCurve Helps

Learning Curve adapts to quickly assess and then match a student's understanding of the topics at hand. When performing well in one area they are given more difficult questions to further strengthen their understanding. They are then taken through areas where they are having a harder time until their understanding improves. Their personalized study plan, available during or after their quiz, directs them to relevant book content as well as carefully- curated videos, flash cards, animations, and tutorials designed to help them master the material.
