    Hey @Melvin Gabriel and @Meghann Herbert,

    Could you give a quick overview of the flashcard feature? Is it specific to certain content types? If so, will it be brought to other content types?

    Thanks!

    Hi Amy! 
    The benefits of the mobile app is that it allows people to learn anytime, anywhere. Not just at their desks! This expands the opportunity to learn to beyond the office in general and doesn't just apply to a mobile workforce. In addition, we also release new features on the app first - such as goals and coming this weekend, learning reinforcement and flashcards. Learners will get a chance to interact with these features early in addition to using a whole host of other features that are of great benefit to users such as: Taking courses offline (if they are traveling somewhere), ability to cast to the big screen with chromecast and AppleTV, Using the voice assistant feature - the list goes on. Also, the app has push notifications that help to engage learners beyond their desks and reminds them to learn and complete their learning goal. 
    In summary, the mobile app gives users options to learn in a way that fits in with their every day lives providing convenience as well as additional features to make their learning experience enjoyable. Hope that helps!-------------------------------------------

    Hey @Nicholas Boyles,

    "Flashcards" is a tool that help learners retain/remember what they have learnt, so that they can get the most out of their learning. According to German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus's research, we forget 90% of knowledge gained within one month, and the best way to retain knowledge is with spaced repetition. That's exactly what we are doing with Flashcards.

    Here is a quick overview of how this feature works
    • Every other week, learners will receive a push notification on their Percipio mobile app challenging them to keep the topics they recently learnt at the top of their mind. This will open their "My Flashcards" page where they will see all the flashcards aligned to their recently completed courses.
    • Learners can launch any flashcard deck of their choice to reinforce their knowledge. Each card has a question on one side with the answer on the other.
    • The challenge for learners is to try and remember the answer for the question. Once they have an answer in their mind, they can tap on the card to reveal the answer. The learner then indicates whether they remembered the answer.
    • The learner will repeat the same for all the cards in the deck.
    • Depending on how they did, Percipio provides personalized content recommendations for the learner and suggests a clear path forward.
    Flashcards are specific to COURSES. As learners complete courses in Percipio, they will see the corresponding Flashcard added to their "My Flashcards" page.

    Flashcards are currently only available in the PERCIPIO MOBILE APP (for both iOS and Android).

    Please refer the attached document if you wish to know more details about this feature.

    Thanks!
    Melvin.

    Thank you for the information @Melvin Gabriel this feature is really neat! I like the idea of tailoring recommendations based on how well someone does with the deck of cards.

    Great work to you and the team. :)
