Qstream delivers bite-sized learning that ensures high engagement and retention by utilizing spaced repetition and gamification principles.
♦ Designed for Hybrid & Digital Workforces: Optimized for remote and flexible working environments, making it accessible anytime, anywhere.
♦ Data-Driven Insights: Provides actionable analytics on employee performance, enabling organizations to adjust training content and focus on areas needing improvement.
♦ Scalability: Qstream is highly adaptable and can scale to fit any organization size or industry-specific learning requirements.
Qstream’s interval reinforcement methodology is built on the spacing effect, a learning principle that enhances long-term retention by presenting information at intervals over time. This method addresses the issue of natural forgetting, which research indicates leads to the loss of 79% of new knowledge within 30 days without reinforcement.
The spacing effect has a neurophysiological basis, as reinforcing knowledge periodically strengthens memory, enhances the survival of new neurons, and improves the brain’s ability to retain information. The testing effect, shown to be more effective than passive learning (e.g., reading or watching videos) or conceptual mapping (e.g., drawing diagrams), is integral to this approach. Testing not only helps retain information but encodes it more efficiently for long-term recall.

Qstream has introduced a new AI Microlearning Content Generator designed to help training and enablement teams rapidly create and distribute microlearning content. Released on April 17, 2024, this tool allows organizations to produce educational materials five times faster than before, enhancing the speed and efficiency of delivering critical training.
Unlike other companies that rushed to implement AI after ChatGPT’s release in 2022, Qstream took a more measured approach. They conducted a detailed analysis of market and customer needs, focusing on quality control and security before launching the product. Their tool allows users to:
- Generate questions from reference materials in seconds
- Edit and customize content to align with organizational standards
- Select different question styles based on best practices
- Repurpose existing materials for focused microlearning content
According to CEO Dan Whelan, Qstream AI is especially relevant in high-risk industries where timely knowledge is essential. The tool helps teams meet immediate training needs, ensuring that employees have access to the right information at critical moments.
VP of Product Management, Jim Bowley, emphasized that the tool was designed through close collaboration with customers to ensure it meets their training and enablement goals. This new AI feature, along with the recently launched Qstream Comms, reinforces Qstream’s position as a comprehensive microlearning platform, helping companies deliver job-critical content when needed most.

In Australia ESC works hand in hand with The Validity group who is the Australian office of QStream. Together there is a wealth of knowledge and expertise available for their clientele’s benefit.
The methodology behind Qstream’s approach, called “spaced education,” was initially developed by Dr. B. Price Kerfoot, a Harvard Medical School associate professor. This method has been validated through more than 20 peer-reviewed clinical trials, proving its effectiveness in increasing knowledge retention by up to 170% and influencing lasting behavior change with measurable outcomes.
