Unlocking Training Success: What’s Missing and How to Improve

In today’s fast-paced digital learning environment, companies allocate substantial resources to training programs. Yet, a persistent question arises: Why doesn’t training seem to stick? Enter SkyPrep LMS, which proactively addresses this issue with its innovative In-Course Note Taking feature.

The Challenge of Training Retention

The Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve reveals an interesting fact: 70% of learners forget new information within 24 hours. This statistic, backed by Ebbinghaus’s research, underscores the urgent need for strategies that enhance knowledge retention. Compounding this challenge, studies published by PubMed indicate that active note-taking can bolster retention by 20–30%. The gap between what’s taught and what’s remembered can be significant, highlighting the necessity for tools that reinforce learning.

Boosting Retention and Engagement: The Power of In-Course Note Taking

SkyPrep’s In-Course Note Taking feature allows learners to jot down insights directly within the course flow. This interactive approach not only facilitates a deeper understanding but also offers personalized revision materials, effectively combating the forgetting curve. By engaging actively with the content, learners are more likely to retain information, transforming passive learning into an active, memorable experience.

Real-World Applications

• Manufacturing: Onboarding new employees is often challenging. With the ability to record machine operation protocols or safety procedures, trainees can adapt more quickly, thanks to continuous reference materials.
• Healthcare: Medical professionals deal with complex information daily. By documenting case studies or protocol updates in real time, healthcare workers ensure critical information is readily accessible and can be retrieved precisely when needed.
• Aviation: The aviation industry demands precision and quick recall of information. Pilots and crew can use note-taking to log specific flight operation procedures or emergency protocols, promoting immediate recall during critical situations.

Integrating SkyPrep’s In-Course Note Taking can revolutionize training strategies by turning common pitfalls into strengths. This feature not only enhances retention but also empowers learners to be active participants in their educational journey, leading to enriched learning experiences.
