Nice! I've done a few First Aid courses, and I always forget the key ideas, I look forward to reviewing this content and keeping on top of it.
I converted these cards into Thought Saver flashcards; it's much easier for new spaced repetition users to give it a go, and you can embed it directly into forum posts!
I couldn't agree more!
There are lots of parts of the SRS learning journey that are high friction that will need to be reduced. I also think starting with effective card creation will have the greatest impact, because if they are really good cards, then you will notice you are learning the content, and it's thrilling and motivating to witness! (Like with your lived example!)
Hi Adam!
Absolutely; what's the least effective learning technique? Not learning!
However, we still think there are ways to improve your learning (provided you already do it). We are working on reducing the friction across the whole learning process, such as effective card creation being a chore, hence the embedded flashcards.
That is an interesting perspective to consider, the trade-off that you could be reducing the amount of time people spend learning even if it's more effective! A quick back of the napkin says that even if it does reduce the a...
Thanks so much for this list, I turned it into a flashcard deck so that I can remember it forever and hopefully put some of it into action. My heuristic is if I am happy spending ~5 minutes to remember each point over my life time, it's worthwhile remembering!
