This is art school
Ah! Yes, from the single art class I took!
This is probably easier for heavily procedural subjects, like math and meditation. Note that math instruction is already a lot like this, and doing exercises feels like "sitting down to do math".
That suggests to me that it's not the app format but the procedural nature of the domain. Sitting down to meditate or to do math is easier, and is straightforward to offer in app form. See also a million popular exercise apps. But how does one just sit down to do history?
I'm of course very familiar with Brilliant, but I don't quite see how it shares these properties of guided meditation apps—could you help me out? Is the idea that people show up to "have fun with math" and end up engaging incidentally with instructional material?
Having taken thirty years and many tears to learn this lesson - and how! for it has now been pounded into my bones - I wish I could hit that like button harder, and many times over. Knowledge not put into action becomes a burden. Modern pedagogy is an atrocity; may it improve.
This audio language course did that effectively as I remember. The Spanish one anyway:https://www.michelthomas.com
