Hana: Speed round first.
Omar: Teach it back first.
Same course. Different minds.
Two learners may study the same material, but they should not get identical practice and review schedules. See how Hugin and Munin adapt the learning journey as knowledge develops.
One course.
Two learning journeys.
Hana and Omar take the same course. Hugin gives each of them their own practice, and Munin gives each of them their own review plan.
- Hugin · starting profile
- Short, fast rounds
- Hugin · served first
- Speed round
- Munin · Asking for a break
- Missed it, so it comes back tomorrow
- Hugin · starting profile
- Learns by explaining it
- Hugin · served first
- Teach it back
- Munin · Asking for a break
- Got it right, so it waits nine days

How Hugin and Munin work together
- The learner answers a review
- The answer is scored
- Hugin adjusts how they practise
- Munin updates when that skill comes back
- The teacher sees progress
Munin knows when.
Hugin knows how.
Every graded review feeds both. Munin updates when that skill comes back. Hugin updates which practice format comes first.
When each skill comes back
- A memory model for every learner on every skill
- Personal intervals, predicted from their answers
- A missed answer brings the skill back sooner
- Mastered skills graduate, with a re-check months later
How each skill is practised
- A four-minute check-in picks one of eight starting profiles
- It orders the practice formats inside each review
- Graded results keep adjusting the profile
- No format is ever removed, and 1 in 5 reviews is drawn at random
Before, during and after
Where Hugin and Munin come in across a course.
- Pre · Before
Start where each learner is
The check-in gives a starting profile. Your course comes in from the material you already teach from.
- Present · During
Practice that fits
Inside every review, Hugin varies and orders the practice formats for each learner.
- Post · After
Reviews when they are due
Munin predicts when each skill needs review, re-checks it later and shows teachers who needs them.
What we can say, and what we can’t yet
Retrieval practice and spaced review are among the best-studied methods in learning research, and Hugin and Munin are built on them. Origin has not yet published retention results from its own users. So we don’t promise a number: we show you how it works on your own material.
