Deep dives
Duolingo's Learning Metric Evolution
Duolingo revamped its learning metric from counting total lesson sessions to measuring 'time spent learning well.' Initially, the company believed that more sessions indicated better learning; however, they realized that the session length varied and didn't account for the difficulty of content. By focusing on the concept of 'time spent learning well,' they incorporated a weighting system that emphasizes the importance of engaging with more challenging lessons over easier, less effective activities. This highlights the complexity of measuring learning while emphasizing that engagement metrics should not be misinterpreted as definitive indicators of knowledge retention or skill improvement.
