Convenience and Access:

Audible.com by Amazon.com, inspired this feature, and I cannot undersell what the ability to listen to books has meant to me and my career. Thanks to Audible I can listen to books during commutes, daily walks, corrective exercise, and warm-up time, while cleaning and cooking; and occasionally, just for enjoyment when I first wake up or before bed. This seemingly small increase in convenience, flexibility, and access, has allowed me to consume 60-100 books/year... outside of my normal work hours. That is not an exaggeration, I have consumed more than 700 books on Audible, and I have only been a member for about 7 years. You might be thinking to yourself that you do not retain enough information when you listen to courses, but that is missing the point. If you retained just 10% of an additional 20 books per year, you would have retained the equivalent of 2 full books. Now, most of the listening I do on Audible is on topics such as business, marketing, technology, leadership, etc... In large part, because there is almost no information on human movement science on Audible. But, now you can listen to Human Movement Science courses on BrookbushInstitute.com.

How we think you might use this feature: Unless you have excellent retention for audio lectures, it is probably a bit ambitious to suggest that you could listen to a course, and then pass the final exam (without any additional study). However, we know that if you listen to courses while performing other activities, it will supercharge your "sit down and study time." With a little planning, every time you sit down to finish a course, you could have listened to the course already, and essentially be reviewing the materials as if it was your second time through. This a very realistic expectation, that is almost guaranteed to boost your efficiency, productivity, and pass rate on tests.

We will not stop: We will continue to work to remove every obstacle that has previously made education inconvenient, inaccessible, and expensive, and do our best to oppose the horrible notion that education is supposed to be a "sacrifice" for a better future. Whether it is practice exams on every course, audio-voice on every course, closed captions on every video, webinar videos that summarize large didactic courses, printable study guides, mobile-friendly user interfaces, comment boxes on every course for you to post questions, etc. We will not stop optimizing education.
