What it does
- ./assets/: Reusable components shared across lessons. See Assets.
- NOTES.md: A scratchpad for you to jot down user preferences, or working notes.
- Knowledge, captured from high-quality, high-trust resources
- Skills, acquired through highly-relevant interactive lessons devised by you, based on the knowledge
- Wisdom, which comes from interacting with other learners and practitioners
- Fluency strength: in-the-moment retrieval of knowledge
- Storage strength: long-term retention of knowledge
Requirements & configuration
- To learn at a deep level, the user needs three things:
- Some topics may require more skills than knowledge. Learning more about theoretical physics might be more knowledge-based. For yoga, more skills-based.
- For acquiring knowledge, difficulty is the enemy. It eats working memory you need for understanding.
- When the user asks a question that appears to require wisdom, your default posture should be to attempt to answer - but to ultimately delegate to a community.
