The Story of Our Program Design
At Gravity Learning, we're creative and innovative people, but we also know that it’s always a good idea to do research first. We asked, “What kind of data could best guide the design of an awesome learning program?”
Then, we got to researching. After a lot of work, we hit gold.
Learning Based on 32 Studies
A game changing meta-analytic—a study that analyzes other studies--compared thirty two journal-published studies contrasting training alone versus a series of “spread-out” learning sessions.
The comparison measured “learning transfer”-- whether people actually apply the learning on the job.
The Surprising Findings
It’s probably not surprising that spread-out learning is most effective. What is surprising is the biggest impact has nothing to do with the classroom experience. Instead, the biggest boost comes from what you do before and after the classroom experience.
When done correctly, learning in a series increases application of the learning an average of 180%. That’s not an “up to” increase. That’s the average!

We think it's very cool that you're the kind of person who expands journal citations.
