Importance of Conclusion

Adaptive spaced education boosts learning efficiency, allowing students to achieve learning with substantially less effort.

Key Points

  • The adaptive algorithm increased learning efficiency by 38%.
  • An adaptive algorithm integrates the testing effect as a measure to not only measure knowledge, but alters the learning process to significantly improve knowledge retention.
  • The adaptive cohort answered significantly fewer spaced education items than the nonadaptive cohort (p = 0.001) but achieved comparable end of course test scores.
