TECH Global University uses the Relearning system as a learning methodology, which is based on the directed reiteration of key concepts. It is a learning system repeated over time, self-managed by the student and directed by a professional teacher, with the objective of helping the student overcome the forgetting curve established by the German psychologist Hermann Ebbinghaus.[2]
Relearning is combined with the Harvard Business School Cases after having reached an agreement with Harvard Business Publishing to incorporate this material, along with other teaching resources, including online simulations, technical notes and current business articles.[5]
