Arvind Ragunathan

Head of Programme Design & Delivery, Kalvium

Leads programme design and delivery at Kalvium. Sits at the intersection of three things: the research literature on how people learn, the design decisions that translate that research into a live programme, and the daily operational evidence of whether those decisions actually work. Writes about the cognitive science of learning and how it shows up in programme design, plus reflective pieces drawn from the daily work of running a cohort. Detailed bio pending.

The forgetting curve is 140 years old. Most engineering programmes act like it doesn't exist.

In 1885, Hermann Ebbinghaus showed that we forget most of what we learn within days unless something specific is done. A note on what the research says, and what changed when we designed against it.
