Digital Learning Practice
FAQ
Plain answers for buyers comparing Digital Learning Practice with teaching days, LMS products, and microlearning feeds.
No. Digital Learning Practice sits beside your LMS, intranet, or shared drive. We convert and reinforce; we do not ask you to rip out the system that stores your courses. Completion records can stay where they are. We care about delayed readiness and behaviour.
No. Short content shown once is microlearning, not practice. Spaced exposure without retrieval is mostly familiarity. Digital Learning Practice is services-led: evidence audit, conversion of your training, spaced retrieval, manager observation, delayed check. If all you want is a feed of two-minute videos, this is the wrong product.
Individuals on the free site still need no account. For organisational practice, some delivery channels need a way to reach the right people (work email, Teams, or a cohort list). That is organisational delivery, not a consumer account on howtobedigital.com.
We minimise data. Managers see team patterns and coaching cues, not a personal surveillance feed. Practice data is for learning and agreed evaluation — not promotion, discipline, pay, or dismissal. Purpose limits are written before launch. We do not monitor private communications.
It can replace the false comfort of completion. Annual training that does not change the inbox decision is exactly the failure case in the research we cite. Practice has to look like the real judgement. If your compliance team only needs an attestation record, keep that record in your LMS — and use Digital Learning Practice for the behaviour you actually care about.
Those teach. Digital Learning Practice is what you add when you need the skill to hold and you need evidence beyond the last session. Many buyers will do teaching first, then a Sprint or Pilot. Some will start at Audit if teaching already happened elsewhere.
No. The research supports a testable hypothesis: active practice distributed over time can improve durable performance. Results vary by programme. Heterogeneity is why measurement is part of the offer. We will tell you what moved and what did not.
No. Certificates measure attendance. This audience has been measured enough.
Not as completion theatre. Retrieval practice happens throughout. The finish line is a delayed check against the behaviour you named — plus the readout.
Yes. Prefer one behaviour and one cohort. Broad “all staff digital” programmes are a poor first Pilot.
No. Employers pay for team programmes. That funds the free side. No lesson is paywalled, delayed, or made worse to sell Digital Learning Practice.
