Learning on autopilot. Enjoy but not endure it. Lifelong learning and especially continuous training is becoming increasingly important in a world of constant renovation and change. This app approaches the learning problem from a special angle backed by cognitive science: individual learning process management. • Bite-sized learning: “knowledge nuggets” are easier to grasp and memorize. It’s known antidote to the infamous problem of “shorten attention span”. • Autopilot mode: the app manages the whole learning process using spaced repetitions, makes it easy and enjoyable. • Course store: high quality courses specially made for micro-learning. It’s also opened to all instructional designers. The Micro-Learning App is a part of project “Mind Extension – Integrating Human Brains with Smart Devices”.
