Welcome!

Almost everyone is an expert learner in something, a sport, an instrument, a job skill, yet hardly anyone has been taught how learning actually works. This module uses the science of memory to show you how to learn anything, a language, a spreadsheet, a leadership skill, measurably faster and with far better retention.

It is fast tracked and self-paced. Seven sections of 10 to 20 minutes, 2 hours in total, so you never need a clear afternoon to make progress.

You follow a single piece of information into the brain through encoding, consolidation and retrieval, and find out why we forget so much so quickly and what reverses it. From there you work the four levers of the AGES model: Attention (single tasking and focus), Generation (retrieving and producing rather than re-reading), Emotion (making it matter) and Spacing (reviewing over time). You also name and replace the common myths, multitasking among them, that quietly slow you down.

The module is deliberately experiential. It includes eight short challenges, from a forgetting test through to a 24 hour retrieval challenge, plus a personal sprint applied to a skill you choose. It is recommended as the first module in the XVenture Learning Ecosystem.

Seven sections to help pace and space your learning. Includes pre/post survey measure to track changes, evidence-based content delivered in 10-20 minute pieces, activities to develop, embed and apply learning, trained speaking AI coach support, quiz which provides a Certificate of Completion as evidence to claim CPD.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of this course, participants will be able to:

  • Explain how memories are built through encoding, consolidation and retrieval and why we forget them

  • Apply the four levers of the AGES model, Attention, Generation, Emotion and Spacing, to learn faster and retain more.

  • Identify and replace common learning myths, such as multitasking, that slow learning down.

  • Use evidence-based techniques including retrieval practice, spacing and single tasking in your own learning.

  • Build and run a personal learning sprint for a skill you want to master, with spaced follow up.
