What Makes 7taps Different

The Problem with Traditional Training

Most organizations face the same frustrating cycle:

  • βœ–οΈ Create comprehensive training β†’ People forget 80% within days

  • βœ–οΈ Add more content β†’ Lower completion rates and engagement

  • βœ–οΈ Make training mandatory β†’ Compliance theater without behavior change

  • βœ–οΈ Invest in expensive LMS β†’ Complex systems that slow down content creation

Result: Lots of training delivered, minimal learning retained, no measurable behavior change.

The 7taps Approach: Performance Enablement

7taps solves the knowing-doing gap with a fundamentally different approach:

Traditional Training: Information delivery β†’ Assume application β†’ Hope for results
​

The 7taps Method: Strategic content β†’ Spaced reinforcement β†’ Measured behavior change

Key differentiators:

βœ… Speed of deployment: Minutes to create and share, not weeks
βœ… Learner experience: Tappable, mobile-first, no-friction access

The 7taps Learning Philosophy

Microlearning Done Right

Not just shorter: 7taps isn't about chopping long courses into smaller pieces. It's about designing focused learning experiences that match how busy professionals actually learn and apply new skills.

Core principles:

  1. One objective per course: Clear, achievable learning goals

  2. Immediate applicability: Skills you can use today

  3. Active engagement: No passive content consumption

  4. Spaced reinforcement: Multiple touchpoints over time

  5. Mobile-first delivery: Available when and where it's needed

The Science Behind the Experience

Spacing Effect: Information learned over distributed sessions is remembered better than information crammed into single sessions. 7taps Learning Paths automatically implement optimal spacing.

Retrieval Practice: Actively recalling information strengthens memory more than passive review. Every 7taps course includes interactive elements that promote active engagement.

Transfer Appropriate Processing: Skills practiced in contexts similar to real application transfer better to job performance. 7taps templates encourage realistic scenarios and applications.
