How Qwizflow teaches

Four well-researched learning methods sit under the app. The studies below describe the methods; we have not yet measured Qwizflow's own effect on learning.

Retrieval practice

Learners recall answers instead of rereading them. Quizzes and adaptive tests ask the questions, and adjust their difficulty to the answers given.

Spaced review

Ideas a learner has practised come back for review on a schedule. One answered well comes back after a longer gap; one missed comes back sooner. The review list shows what is due, soonest first.

Guided questioning

The Socratic tutor guides with questions, to help a learner work a problem through for themselves.

Mastery

Each topic has a mastery score, built only from answers in quizzes, adaptive tests and the tutor's topic interview. Games, podcasts and flashcards do not change it. A topic counts as mastered once its score clears the mastery bar.
