# Educational impact

What impact does instant monetary gratification have on learning?

The results of our research suggest that Learn-and-Earn students are much more committed to learning. Sixty percent of them study every day, and spend three times more time each day than "Pay Upfront" learners.

There are two possible reasons for this:

* Getting back their outlay for NFTs, plus potentially more
* The fear of missing out, as the NFT character's ability to earn reduces every day

Let's look at the numbers in detail.

1. **Learning time commitment**\
   \
   Practice makes perfect. \
   \
   Let's look at how much time different users commit to learning:

* An average “Free-to-Play” daily user spends 15 minutes a day learning English over 1.6 learning sessions.
* An average “Learn-and-Earn” daily user spends 53 minutes a day over 4.2 learning sessions.

**2. Retention Boost**

Studying regularly is the key to language learning success.

Learn-and-Earn students are the most dedicated group by far!

Here are the number of days that different LetMeSpeak business model test groups spent studying over a 30-day period:

* Learn-and-Earn - 21 days 
* Paid Upfront - 7.5 days
* Free to Use - 2.5 days

**Better educational products**

Now that we have the learners' attention we can really focus on improving their educational outcomes. We're no longer competing for their attention, against social networks and other forms of entertainment. We have successfully secured their retention.

**Research together for a better world**

LetMeSpeak is cooperating with educational experts, linguists, neuro-scientists, and economists to measure learning the efficiency and social impact of the ‘Learn-and-Earn’ model.

We believe this new model can lead to a transformation in online education as a whole.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://whitepaper.letmespeak.org/play-learn-and-earn/educational-impact.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
