Debriefing past performance is a highly effective learning strategy in which learners analyze their actions and identify opportunities to improve. Debriefly aims to make this structured process, traditionally applied in pilot and physician training, accessible in new learning contexts such as college admission exams. Within the web site, learners analyze their solution process, identify root causes of errors, and generate actionable insights that help them perform better over time. Students using Debriefly not only score higher on tests, they also learn metacognitive skills they can apply to other learning goals.
