Research has shown that people will generally forget 90% of what they "learn" within 30 days unless it is reinforced.

Recorded Live at Vision 2024, David Boyes, President of Today's Class, outlines the mobile app's features, including gamification and personalized training paths. AJ Nealey and Patrick Roberts share how they've implemented the platform in their businesses, highlighting its impact on engagement, adaptability to individual needs and its role in fostering a culture of continuous learning and growth.

"It's microdosing of training. It's a set of daily questions on a daily basis. And what I love about it, it's the question after the question. "How confident are you in your answer?" It's low, medium, or high. You're understanding their confidence level." AJ Nealey
