Dr. Ko's Emergency Ultrasound Course

Addictive Learning That Sticks


In a hurry? Enroll in the course here.


Learn by answering a few emailed questions every other day? SpacedEd co-founder and CEO Duncan Lennox says that is precisely what his product is doing for physicians. (SpacedEd was invented at Harvard Medical School.)

SpacedEd is a platform designed to allow learners and teachers to harness the educational benefits of spaced education. It is based upon two core psychology research findings: the spacing effect and the testing effect. In more than 10 randomized trials completed to date, spaced education has been found to:

  • Improve knowledge acquisition,
  • Increase long-term knowledge retention (out to 2 years),
  • Change behavior,
  • Boost learners’ abilities to accurately self-assess their knowledge.

In addition, spaced education is extremely well-accepted by learners.

The SpacedEd approach is predicated on a set of core principles:

    • Short Repeated Bursts: Because it uses a regular schedule and an adaptive algorithm, learning can be delivered in small amounts that can take as little as 3 minutes a day.
    • Push Learning: The learning comes to you on a regular schedule. You don’t have to remember to do it or set aside large chunks of time.
    • Adaptive: The daily content adapts based on past performance automatically to drive long-term retention while requiring less time.
    • Immediate Feedback: Once a question is answered, detailed educational feedback is provided. Users are also given performance data (their course progress and performance relative to peers) which feeds their addiction to the courses.
