What is a post-learning app?
It's an Android mobile application that reunites key content of a book, a training or a course. It mainly consists of key knowledge on a specific topic and a method to apply them in real situations.
Why to have a post-learning app?
We can test what we learned from books, trainings or courses only in real life situations. But, in those moments most of us face difficulties in remembering what we learned and how to apply it. There is clear evidence that if something new learned is not applied reasonably soon after acquisition, it fades rapidly (e.g. less than 10% of trainings results are applied).
It is difficult to reread a book or review a course when we really need them. To support learners in application of their new knowledge and skills is often pivotal.
The solution is to have a tool that can support us. A post-learning app offers learners assistance with the transference of what they learned to application in the real world, anytime and anywhere.
How to use a post-learning app?
A post-learning app and the related book, training or course should be used in a complementary way. The app reminds users what to do, how to do and guides them to achive what they want from a specific situation.
Here it is an example. How to Manage Pressure in Your Life is an ebook that shows readers how to effectively manage everyday situations when they feel under pressure. It offers a better understanding of behaviors under pressure and a method to deal with life pressure. In addition, a complementary tool - an Android mobile app - guides users to practice the method in real situations when they feel under pressure, anytime and anywhere. The app can be free downloaded from Amazon Appstore.
