About Drillster

Drillster is a smart microlearning app that keeps critical knowledge and competencies top of mind, so employees can deliver top performance, using the right skills at the right time. Drillster was founded in 2011 by Thomas Goossens and Marco van Sterkenburg when they became frustrated with how short the effect of traditional learning programs was, while so many employees and students worldwide rely on it. The forgetting curve prevents people from having the right competencies at the right time. Marco and Thomas figured that the world would be better if people could perform better by anchoring and retaining knowledge and skills. Keeping these top-of-mind results in higher study results, fewer incidents and accidents, higher productivity, lower costs, and consequently satisfied employees, students, and customers. A proprietary algorithm drives personalized learning. The Drillster app even calculates future proficiency and notifies the learner just before crucial knowledge tends to decline. This makes Drillster the ideal tool to learn faster, more efficiently, and retain what has been learned, year-round. Research shows that learning with Drillster results in at least 10% higher ROI on learning in at least 40% less time. The unique Drillster methodology consists of several crucial elements: - Microlearning: learning material is cut up into manageable drills of 5-10 minutes. Short learning chunks make it easier to learn at regular intervals. This is more effective and engaging and makes it very suitable for mobile learning. - Adaptive learning: the smart algorithm adjusts the order, frequency, and pace of exercises based on the individual forgetting curve. Topics that people find difficult are automatically repeated more often than the ones they already know well. This guarantees a tailored, efficient, continuous learning process on an individual and micro level. - Spaced repetition: the algorithm calculates when knowledge declines for each person and notifies them in time to brush up on their knowledge. The app then applies increasing intervals between repetition of exercise (variants). As a result, knowledge is anchored in the long term memory, and the knowledge peak transforms into continuous proficiency. - Assessment-based learning: learning takes place through questions, problems, cases or dilemmas. This way of actively processing information ensures greater retention in the long term. - Immediate positive feedback: you can add corrective feedback to incorrect answers, and complimentary feedback to correct answers. Processing feedback immediately after each exercise enhances the learning effect, as people are then most receptive to it. So with your subject matter expertise, and with the help of our AI-based app, learning becomes smarter, faster, more effective, and more engaging. Use Drillster stand-alone as a web app, or on any iOS or Android device. Both the web and mobile app are available in 14 different languages. The Drillster application can also easily be integrated into your current learning ecosystem. Of course, you are the expert. But if you don’t have the time or resources to create good drills yourself, Drillster can help you with the following services: - Outsource: outsource your learning content creation to the Drillster in-house drill designers. - Co-create: we can also co-create content with your instructional designers and SMEs. - Review: Drillster professionals help you to optimize content and get the most return on your learning program. - Drillster is also here for things like bulk input, content conversion, and customization and translation. Drillster is adept in customer intimacy, working hand-in-hand with our clients. Personal in-house customer support is of the utmost importance to us. Got questions? Need assistance? Caught a bug? Or do you need to solve an emerging problem? Drillster is happy to help you! Send an email to [email protected] or call +318837500.

Drillster review from the perspective of a delivery agent

Drillsters is my first experience with such a learning app and I remember being blown away by it the first time I was shown a training.

I actually think it's underutilized. It takes a lot of time and effort to make a worthwhile training, but once you have it up and running you start asking yourself why you haven't done it sooner.

Pros

I love the ease with which you are able to push updates to colleagues and partners.

Cons

I don't like how tedious it is to edit the order of slides in stories.

Response from Drillster

Hi Ivan,

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're delighted you find Drillster's update process seamless. We hear you on the slide editing aspect and appreciate your input as we continuously work to enhance user experience.

Best,

Met name aan de achterkant (integratie door team IT) en content creatie nog te vaak frustratie

Pros

Drillster is overzichtelijk, zet aan tot korte onderwijsmomenten en laat de gebruiken zien waar twijfels zitten. Het laat zich integreren in onze eigen portal.

Cons

Het maken van de content levert frustraties op; zo is het verplaatsen van pagina's in een story erg lastig. Het maken/samenstellen van toetsen is ook lang niet altijd soepel.

Hi Niels,
