LIT is a revolutionary learning methodology that is anything but typical!
Traditional learning and training techniques and systems aren’t effective because they don’t address the science of memory. We receive information, but we don’t retain it. And without retention, we can’t apply knowledge to performance and critical thinking.
When the brain is presented with new information it begins the process of recognizing, evaluating, categorizing, and storing that information. Long-term memories are formed as the brain processes and consolidates information, building a neural network that becomes stronger each time the memory is accessed.
The LIT methodology focuses on how memories are created and retained learning is accomplished. And it works – producing long-term retention rates of over 90%. LIT is designed so the key critical information learners receive is moved into long-term memory where it can be recalled quickly and accurately and applied to performance and critical thinking. The move to long-term memory is the difference between simply memorizing and actually learning. LIT accomplishes this transfer from short-term to long-term memory using several important scientific techniques.
- Spaced Repetition – Taking advantage of the spacing effect, the LIT e-learning platform requires learning be repeated over a period of multiple days, which is essential to long-term retention.
- 100% Learner Driven Engagement – The LIT methodology is a hands-on, interactive, multi-modal approach to learning. By design, learners must be actively engaged in the learning process and complete learning modules at their own pace.
- Perfect Practice – In order to progress through a learning module, learners must practice each learning point with 100% accuracy. The method of perfect practice ensures learners are not exposed to, and thus don’t store in memory, any incorrect data.
- Content Chunking – With LIT, information is organized into small groups of related learning points within modules. When information is ‘chunked', it’s easily remembered because it creates associated units.
