It depends on what you want to learn: language apps are best for languages, course libraries are best for career certificates, and for any other subject you choose yourself, an app that builds a course around your goal fits best. Question Avenue is one of those: you say what you want to learn and it writes you a structured course in short lessons.
What to look for
- It follows your goal. The lessons should cover what you need for your reason for learning, not a generic syllabus.
- It starts at your level. You should be able to skip what you already know.
- Lessons you can finish. A few minutes each, in a format that fits your day.
- It checks and revises. Quick questions after each lesson, and revision that brings ideas back before you forget them.
- You see the plan. An outline up front, so you know where the course is going.
Where each kind of app fits
| You want to… | A good fit |
|---|---|
| Learn a language | A language-learning app with daily practice |
| Earn a certificate for your career | A course library with university or company courses |
| Learn any subject you choose, your way | An app that writes a course around your goal, such as Question Avenue |
How Question Avenue works
You type a subject, a goal or a question, say why you want to learn it, and tick what you already know. You pick how it should read: straight to the point, step by step, as a conversation, as a story and more. Question Avenue writes an outline you approve, then short lessons as cards, a long read or audio, with quick checks. Key ideas become revision cards that come back when they are due.
Your first two courses are free. After that, Course allowance is a monthly subscription that gives you credits to build more courses; you always see a course’s cost before you build it.
We make Question Avenue, so we are not neutral. Try two or three apps and keep the one you actually come back to.
