The Power of e-Learning: Better Than Classroom, Better Than Boot Camp

Some studies suggest that about 50% of new information is forgotten within an hour of learning it,

increasing to 70% within 24 hours.

This is a topic that can truly revolutionize how we learn and retain information: eLearning. You're not alone if you’ve ever found yourself forgetting what you’ve learned shortly after a class or training session. This is a common experience, explained by a concept known as the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve.

 

Understanding the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve

The Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve demonstrates how quickly we forget newly acquired knowledge. Research reveals that learners forget an average of 90% of new information within the first seven days. Astonishingly, some studies indicate that within just one day, we can forget 50-80% of what we've learned, and after a month, this can rise to 97-98%.

 

Even more striking, without conscious review, learners can lose memory of learned information in just a few days or weeks. Some studies suggest that about 50% of new information is forgotten within an hour of learning it, increasing to 70% within 24 hours. This rapid decline in memory retention can be a major hurdle for anyone acquiring and retaining new skills or knowledge.

 

The Role of Repetition

So, how do we combat this rapid forgetting? The key lies in repetition. By regularly revisiting new content, we signal to our brains that this information is important, which helps transfer it to long-term memory. This is where eLearning comes into play, offering a solution that is both effective and flexible.

 

Flexibility and Convenience of eLearning

One of the most significant advantages of eLearning is its flexibility. Learners can access course material anytime and from anywhere, allowing them to learn at their own pace and on their own schedule. This is especially beneficial for individuals juggling other commitments, such as work or family responsibilities.
