We have a couple of little changes to Lessons that we’re releasing today. The changes are related in that they’re both aimed at evening out the level of difficulty of the Lesson quizzes across all items.
Lesson Batch Rounding
We’re tweaking the way Lesson batches work, so that instead of having a straggler or two in your final batch of Lessons, those extras will be adding into your final batch. That means that you’ll sometimes have final batches of Lessons with a couple more Lessons than usual. This should help ever so slightly improve retention, because those small batches don’t stretch your memory quite as much and make the quiz a little too easy.
Semi-random Quiz Shuffle
We’re also slightly changing the way the ordering of Lesson Quizzes work, to make sure you won’t see a Lesson and Quiz for the same item back-to-back. Again, this should give a little extra boost for retention, because it eliminates the possibility of answering the quiz right after the Lesson, which is just a bit too easy and so forms a weaker memory.
So there you have it. Not a big change, but hopefully these little tweaks will make remembering items that little bit easier in Reviews. Happy studying!
