An addictive learning app – in a good way

Teaching knowledge is easy. Getting people to actually learn – that's hard. Traditional e-learning platforms are boring. Users drop out, forget content, never come back. We applied game mechanics from apps like Candy Crush and Duolingo to serious learning.
