Amplifire assesses each individual’s knowledge and confidence levels and then customizes the learning module in real time to fill gaps and uncertainty based on the learner’s prior knowledge. Active algorithms determine whether a learner should see an item again, when they should see it, and how often, based on their learning performance.

Amplifire’s algorithms collect data on learner behavior which can then be viewed in real-time through the Reporting Suite. The reports highlight knowledge, uncertainty, and misinformation at the systemic, local, and individual level. Our AI-based communication manager notifies managers and provides guidance where needed so they know exactly where and how to focus their attention to eliminate risk and acknowledge areas of success.

Any organizational attribute collected can be tracked and reported on. During course creation, our Client Solutions Directors will help you consider which learner behaviors you want to change (or enforce!) so you know which attributes to collect. Amplifire will capture all learner responses and pinpoint where confidently held misinformation (CHM) exists at the systemic, local, and individual level. Amplifire Reports will also reflect where learners struggled to master the content so you can intervene to reduce risks caused by CHM or to improve student retention.

Asking questions primes the brain by turning on the mental mechanisms that create long-term memory and the ability to recall information in the future. Cognitive research conducted by Dr. Jeri L. Little, Dr. Robert Bjork, and Dr. Elizabeth Bjork at UCLA has proven that that multiple choice question questions best promote learning because they combine recognition with memory recall by asking the learner to contemplate each answer choice and categorize each one as either right or wrong.

No. Amplifire does use questions to highlight a learner’s prior knowledge, uncertainty, and misinformation, resulting in a unique learning experience. However, these aren’t test questions. Unlike a test, Amp presents the correct answer and an explanation when a learner answers questions incorrectly or without full confidence. Also, unlike a test, a learner is not allowed to complete a module until the content is mastered (all questions are answered correctly and with full confidence). However, Amp can and is often used as a pre-test, allowing learners to understand where they need to focus their study efforts.

Absolutely! Amplifire is designed for learning. The platform’s algorithms tailor training content to display detailed explanations that inform learners on topics they did not know or were uncertain about. New questions are interleaved with previous questions to boost confidence and prevent negative, discouraging learning experiences. If a learner struggles to master the content, other resources are presented to help learners better comprehend the material.

Amplifire teaches on concepts, not questions.  Therefore, mastering a concept is what allows a learner to complete a module rather than just completing the same question again.  It’s true that a learner may see the same question again interspersed throughout a module along with other questions on the same concept.  This action, known as spacing, forces learners to engage in the effort of “retrieving” forgotten information. Learners may try to game the system by guessing “confidently” on every question. However, questions on concepts that learners answered confidently but incorrectly pops up again and again until it is mastered.

Along with multiple questions on a concept, system also programmatically changes other elements of the questions itself when it is encountered again by a learner to prevent memorization.

Yes. It is easy to integrate Amplifire’s learning platform with any LMS using xAPI (Tin Can), SCORM, LTI, or AICC. We also have APIs available for custom integration configurations. Our dedicated Integration team will work with your IT department to streamline the integration process.

Amplifire can be accessed using any smart device. We also support a wide variety of media including images, videos, audio, documents, and other interactive content types. These can be embedded or linked to from another source.

No. For Amplifire’s algorithms to work, Amplifire needs to continually communicate with the central algorithm engine to determine how the learning experience should adapt to a learner’s performance and behavior on the system.  The logic and data needed to make these adjustments are too much to download to a device for offline learning.  This communication can only be completed when there is internet access.  Furthermore, to provide accurate real-time reporting we need to capture interactions as they occur.

A module contains 20–30 questions about a single topic or related topics. An Amplifire course is then made up of one or more modules. The amount of content is dependent on your learning goals, if you need comprehensive or targeted training, and how much time your learners actually have to go through training.

We convert your existing training content or our Learning and Development experts will help you create brand new content based an expressed set of learning objectives. We also have the option of converting and creating new content yourself using our Authoring tool. In some cases, our team is solely responsible for developing the content and works closely with a subject matter expert (SME) to ensure accuracy and applicability. If you chose this route, you own the content and it is finalized and approved by you.

Content can easily be converted or developed through our Authoring Platform. Your SMEs and curriculum developers can have full control of this or we can work in tandem with your team. All content is finalized and approved by you prior to launching the course.

When deciding which content to include in your Amplifire course, focus on topics with known misinformation and high-value content areas. (What do your learners really need to know, and what is fluff?) Think about which behaviors you want to change in your learning population and which behaviors you want to encourage. Consider whether you want your training to be comprehensive or targeted. Remember, designing content in Amplifire is iterative. Once you have rolled out version one, you can use Amplifire Reports to identify problems with your content that can be addressed in your next version.

All content is hosted on and accessed from Amplifire’s private servers. Our servers, in 2 different locations are highly available (99.99% up time), and we adhere to industry standards for data encryption protection.
