The Science Behind HSI's Employee Learning and Development Training
Proven science drives the choices we make when we write a script, design a course, or roll out new features to our HSI LMS. Learn more below about the science of microlearning, the Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve, saccadic bilateral eye movements, and cognitive load theory.

Science of Microlearning
Research shows employees get interrupted approximately every 11 minutes. That's why our average course length is 10 minutes.
Microlearning is an eLearning industry trend that addresses shorter attention spans, strengthens the overall learning process, and supports higher long-term retention rates. To learn more, read our whitepaper, The Power of Microlearning: A Proven Learning Strategy for Workplaces.
Ebbinghaus Forgetting Curve
This well-known mathematical formula describes the rate at which learned material is eventually forgotten.
Saccadic Bilateral Eye Movements
The motion and pace of eye movement across the screen supports information being saved into memory.
This explains the placement and rhythm of graphics that appear on the screen in our videos. Remember to pay attention when comparing different video styles and watch how much time passes and nothing changes on the screen.
Cognitive Load Theory
The human brain can only process so much information at a time before it is forgotten or moved to long-term memory. Cognitive load is an important concept in instructional design and how we create our employee training and development videos.
This supports our approach to microlearning and how we batch content into bite-sized chunks of content.
