The document discusses strategies for improving learning retention through applied practice over time. It proposes a method called Applied Learning Extensions (ALE) which involves generating learning activities 10 times over 90 days following training. This spaced practice through low-stakes activities like surveys and webinars is meant to reinforce learning and move it from short-term to long-term memory. The document provides examples of different types of activities that could be assigned on various days as part of an ALE program. Implementing ALE is intended to close the gap between initial recall just after training and retention of knowledge much later.
