This is my Ph.D. dissertation. It develops the idea that learning material can be decomposed into micro-topics arranged in prerequisite learning pathways, then used for spaced retrieval, reading, collaborative note-taking, and large mixed-methods studies of learning representations. The dissertation is the foundation for 1Cademy and reflects the research-operations pattern behind my work: build the platform, run the study, audit the evidence, and turn the findings into reusable infrastructure.
