ScaffordLearn employment of repeated exercises content from different angles, at spaced intervals, build retention and long-term knowledge mastery. Over time, students cover and master near 100% of the training content.
Our learning strategies are evidence-based and supported by research so students can learn effectively and assuredly.
ScaffoldLearn adopts Practice-Based Learning methodology - 10-10 concept (10 questions per practice and 10 minutes practise time). These questions are curated by the system AI-AL from the various topics and carefully formulated to help students grasp the key learning point in that question.
Students do practice questions that are tied to Subject’s Knowledge Rung (KR) or Learning Objectives (LO) so that they build up subject mastery in a systematic and orderly fashion.
ScaffoldLearn also teaches new bite-size knowledge by building it onto existing knowledge so students can learn easier, faster and smarter. The use of effective visual aids also helps accelerate and retain students' learning.

If you have bought the license as a parent/educator, you can monitor your child’s/students’ knowledge rung (KR) mastery via your account. Parents/Educators can find out the specific weaker KR skill sets that your child/student has not mastered based on the practices that he/she had done. The progress information can easily be obtained by checking the Weaker KR Progress tab in ScaffoldLearn. Parents/Educators can select the practices to determine the topic content in which your child/student is weak in.
If you have bought the license as a student, your knowledge rung mastery can be monitored via ‘My progress’ in your account.
ScaffordLearn is not a quick fix solution. It requires students to diligently practise on a daily basis to push towards knowledge mastery. However, if your child/student is weak on some topics and is already strong in the others, he/she may select the relevant topics through the topic configurator and practice those topics that he/she is weak in.
As ScaffoldLearn is easily accessible via any mobile devices, your child/student can do the practices anytime of the day such as when he/she is on a bus or during school recess. Regular practice will help your child/student inculcate a sense of practice routine which fosters effective study habits and positive study attitude.
