    Brief summary

    In this video, we provided an overview of learning and what you may expect from the course in
    terms of components, duration, and content.

    General principles

    Learning is a complex process. The general understanding of learning is still considered


    primitive because its research may have conflicting conclusions on certain methods (especially
    when considered under different circumstances), and is difficult because it is impossible to
    directly observe and measure learning.

    The iCanStudy approach

    iCanStudy developed its learning system from synthesizing extensive research and experience as
    researchers and practitioners, so that we can teach it to others with predictable results. What we
    are teaching is decades ahead of what research has proven in the context of the research
    practice gap.
    The stages in the course will allow you to build a foundation of knowledge, skills, and
    experience. First, you will build a foundation of knowledge on different aspects of learning
    optimization, which build upon each other as you progress through the course. Thus, it is very
    important to learn the different concepts with ample practice and feedback as insight limiting
    effects can prevent you from recognising what you do not know and how relevant it may be later.
    Issues in the later stages caused by a flawed foundation can lead to months of trying to diagnose
    what techniques you are missing and relearning them. Second, you will build skills to execute
    successfully with consistency. Third, you will build experience, working through difficulty and
    mistakes, which will help with your learning especially in later stages due to the fade out effect
    in early stages.
    Most people start seeing major improvements within the first 2 weeks, especially if they
    are missing an aspect of the foundation, and improvements start becoming more linear over time
    even though they may fluctuate at first. Improvements should occur on a weekly basis and after
    approximately 4–8 months you can expect to reach a high level of mastery. However, practice

    and consistency will affect the duration, since you will need time to be aware of and fix
    deviations of the practices that are taught, and avoid tug of war practice.

    Learning system design

    The content covered in the course targets each aspect of learning: information coming in, being
    processed, and their retention and retrieval.
    First, information coming in is about scoping out information, evaluating it, and planning
    your next course of action based on the evaluation. You will learn to discern what pieces of
    information are important for building schema foundations and relationships between them.
    Second, processing information involves attention and utilizing analogous relationships
    to create knowledge schemas. You will first learn how to facilitate the formation of schemas
    (which involves learning non-linear note-taking with chunking and cognitive load theory), then
    how to prioritize certain ones based on their relevance. Moreover, you will learn how to integrate
    details and manage their volume.
    Third, retention and retrieval involve learning and practicing information retrieval. You
    will learn about interleaving and spaced retrieval (and spacing), which are relevant in practices
    like microlearning. The data we get here inform how well the first two parts were done, so
    learning to evaluate issues at this stage will be useful as well.
    Enabling all of these process to occur is self-management. You will learn about how to
    trigger focus, break habits of procrastination and distractions, manage motivation and
    consistency, and prioritize your time and tasks properly. These are all interconnected.
