What is Retain, and how do I enable it?

Illustrated Tutorial

Retain is a tool that helps learners recall information from their courses and can be enabled for any native SafetyNow course. Learners will receive notifications for six quiz exercises that consist of up to five quiz questions from the original course along a set schedule after course completion. Once each exercise has been completed, the learner will see their current retention rate compared with the Forgetting Curve. The aggregate retention rate of everyone in the course can be compared against the Forgetting Curve to evaluate whether content is being retained on an ongoing basis.

Once enabled, learners will receive six prompts to complete a series of follow-up quizzes on a set schedule after they have completed the course. Each quiz will contain up to five quiz questions randomly selected from the course. Short Answer quiz questions will not be included. The quizzes will be distributed to the learner using an email notification on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 14th, 21st, and 28th day after successful course completion. If a learner does not complete a quiz within 48 hours of the notification, the quiz will expire and the learner will not be able to take the quiz. Learners will see their retention rate compared with the Forgetting Curve after completing each quiz.
