How Drillster redefines digital learning
Blog / News | 31-10-25
It’s easy to see why people sometimes compare Drillster to traditional e-learning. Both are digital ways to learn — accessible anytime, anywhere, on any device. But while e-learning typically focuses on delivering knowledge, Drillster focuses on retaining it. It’s not just a new format for learning; it’s a new way to ensure that what you learn actually sticks.
From knowledge transfer to knowledge retention
Most e-learning is about providing content electronically — PDFs instead of binders, online videos instead of classrooms, and digital tests instead of paper exams. While this makes learning more accessible, it doesn’t necessarily make it more effective. Today’s world demands continuous learning — not just acquiring information, but keeping it fresh and usable when it matters most.
That’s exactly where Drillster comes in. It combines proven insights from educational science with smart technology to help people learn, remember, and stay proficient over time.
How Drillster transforms learning
| Traditional e-Learning | The Drillster Approach |
| One-size-fits-all learning | Adaptive and personalized — content adjusts to each learner’s pace and knowledge level. |
| Passive learning — reading or watching without real engagement. | Active learning — learners are challenged to recall information, which strengthens memory and understanding. |
| Momentary results — knowledge peaks after a course but fades quickly. | Continuous proficiency — Drillster predicts when knowledge starts to fade and reminds learners to refresh it, using the forgetting curve. |
| Long, intensive courses that are hard to fit into busy schedules. | Microlearning — short, focused drills make learning easy to integrate into daily routines. |
| Limited engagement and motivation. | Gamified and interactive — keeps learners involved and motivated. |
| Delayed feedback — often given after completion, when it’s least effective. | Instant feedback — immediate reinforcement helps correct mistakes and strengthen learning. |
| Changes require creating new courses and new SCORM packages | Changes can be made and immediately published to all subscribed learners |
Drillster is more than just a digital course platform. It’s an adaptive learning solution designed to keep knowledge alive. By combining science, smart algorithms, and engaging design, Drillster ensures learners don’t just know something today — they remember it tomorrow, next month, and next year.
With Drillster, learning becomes part of everyday life — continuous, personalized, and effective. That’s how you build lasting proficiency and get the best out of your people.
