👉 Retention engineering is a strategic approach focused on optimizing the design and operation of systems to maximize the retention and recall of information, particularly in educational technology and human-computer interaction. It involves understanding how users interact with information and designing interfaces, content, and workflows that facilitate learning and memory retention. This can include techniques like spaced repetition, adaptive learning paths, and personalized feedback mechanisms. By aligning system features with cognitive principles, retention engineering aims to enhance user engagement and improve long-term knowledge acquisition and application.
