Learning how to learn is the most compounding skill there is. InfoNest's education content covers study science, the degree decision, and the explosion of free online resources that have made serious self-education more accessible than ever before.
Most of us spent over a decade in formal education without ever being taught how to learn effectively. The irony is that the science of learning, spaced repetition, retrieval practice, interleaving, has been well-established for decades but rarely makes it into classrooms. InfoNest's education content is built around that gap. We explain what cognitive science tells us about effective studying, explore how to make the high-stakes decision about whether and what to study at university, and point readers toward the remarkable free educational resources that have emerged over the past decade. Whether you're a student trying to study smarter, a professional upskilling in your spare time, or a lifelong learner who just enjoys acquiring knowledge, you'll find something useful here.
Highlighting and rereading feel productive but produce weak memories. Here's what cognitive science actually says about studying effectively, and how to apply it without overhauling your entire routine.
