Redefining Financial Education Through Research
Our methodology combines behavioral economics with adaptive learning techniques, creating personalized pathways that actually stick with learners long after they finish their coursework.
The Science Behind Our Approach
What started as a graduate research project at McGill University has evolved into a comprehensive learning framework that addresses why traditional financial education fails most people.
Cognitive Load Theory in Practice
We discovered that most people can't process complex financial concepts because they're presented in overwhelming chunks. Our breaking-point research identified the exact moment when learners disengage from traditional curricula.
- Micro-learning modules limited to 7-minute segments
- Visual pattern recognition training for market analysis
- Spaced repetition algorithms based on forgetting curves
- Real-time comprehension tracking with adaptive pacing
Meet the Research Team
Our interdisciplinary team bridges the gap between academic research and practical application. We're behaviorists, economists, and educators who got tired of seeing people struggle with financial concepts that should be accessible to everyone.
Dr. Kieran Blackwood
Research Director
Former neuroscience researcher at University of Toronto who pivoted to studying financial decision-making patterns. His work on cognitive biases in investment choices has influenced our entire curriculum design.
