Abstract: If you don’t use it, you lose it. Just like physical skills, cognitive skills grow rusty over time unless they are regularly used and practiced. It is well known that students at all levels, from elementary school through university, lose ground over breaks from school. This learning loss happens in many subjects but is especially pronounced in mathematics which requires a strong foundation of prior knowledge. The Keeping in School Shape (KiSS) program is a nudge campaign that was designed to combat loss of learning between sequential math courses based on retrieval practice theory and a behavioral change model. KiSS delivers regular retrieval practice opportunities over breaks from school via text messaging. After solving the daily multiple-choice review problem, students receive feedback, access to the solution, and links to supplemental resources. From the outset, the KiSS program was designed to be mobile, engaging, innovative and cost-effective. In this talk, I describe the design, evolution, and implementation of the KiSS program over three iterations that took place at a large university, the lessons learned from these experiences, and future development plans to optimize the benefits and impact of such a program.
