How Learning Rhythm works

Learning that stays with you

A lesson or a review a day keeps your streak alive. When you finish a course, three short reviews follow, with growing gaps, so that what you have learned stays with you.

One a day is enough

The streak counts days in a row when you have learned something. A day becomes a learning day when you complete a lesson or a review. One is enough, however long it is.

  • For every seven learning days in a row you earn a rest day, and you can save two.
  • If you miss a day, a rest day is used automatically and your streak carries on.
  • Just logging in does not count, so the streak reflects learning and not attendance.

Three reviews, growing gaps

What we learn fades over time if we do not use it. That is why you get three reviews after a finished course: three questions from the course, about two minutes. If you answer a question wrong, the next review comes a little sooner.

  • Review 1: two days after the course
  • Review 2: a week later
  • Review 3: three weeks later

A meter for every course

Each course gets a card with a meter of five steps. The meter drops over time and fills up when you review.

Why it works

Retrieving what you have learned from memory anchors knowledge better than reading the same material again. Reviews spread out over time give a more lasting memory than reviews gathered on one occasion.

  • That is why a review counts as a learning day. The easiest way to keep your streak alive is also what helps the knowledge stay.

Your learning is yours

  • Your streak and your reviews are visible only to you.
  • Erigo does not compare you with others.
  • Reminders about reviews show up on your dashboard and on the course page when you are logged in.

Frequently asked questions

What happens if my streak breaks?
It starts again from zero. Everything you have learned is still there, and the reviews continue as planned.
Do I have to do the reviews?
You choose when and whether you do them. The ones waiting stay on your dashboard until you are ready.
Can I retake a whole course?
Yes, you can always open the course again and go through it at your own pace.
Do all courses have reviews?
Courses with enough questions get reviews. Courses built on reflection have no review today.
