Anki is a program designed to help you remember facts (such as words and phrases in a foreign language) as easily, quickly and efficiently as possible. To do this, it tracks how well you remember each ... [More] fact, and uses that information to optimally schedule review times. [Less]

Parley is a program to help you memorize things. Parley supports many language specific features but can be used for other learning tasks just as well. It uses the spaced repetition learning method ... [More] , also known as flash cards. Features: * Different test types * Fast test setup with all options in one dialog * More than two languages (for example English, Chinese Traditional and Chinese Simplified) * Find words (also by word type) quickly * Easy lesson management * Premade vocabulary files ready to use * Share and download vocabulary using Get Hot New Stuff * Open XML file format (shared with KWordQuiz, Kanagram and KHangMan) that can be edited by hand and is easily usable with scripts [Less]

jMemorize is an free open-source Java application that manages your learning processes by using flashcards and the famous Leitner system. jMemorize makes memorizing facts not only more efficient but ... [More] also more fun. It boosts your whole learning experience and features categories, statistics and a visually appealing and intuitive interface. [Less]

The Mnemosyne software resembles a traditional flash-card program to help you memorise question/answer pairs, but with an important twist: it uses a sophisticated algorithm to schedule the best time ... [More] for a card to come up for review. Difficult cards that you tend to forget quickly will be scheduled more often, while Mnemosyne won't waste your time on things you remember well. [Less]

FlashQard is an educational software to improve your learning process. It is designed to help you learn not only a new language but anything that can be learnt! This aim is achieved by using the ... [More] widely used method, called Leitner System, and the idea of "different card types for different purposes". Leitner System (proposed by Sebastian Leitner in the 1970s) is one the most efficient methods for learning. Which allows you to focus on the most difficult flashcards and not waste your time on what you have already learnt. FlashQard is developed to combine the immense power of computers and the power of Leitner System. [Less]

This is basically a little site I threw together for my daughter after I lost her flash cards. You basically browse these math problems like they were flash cards and try to figure out the answer.

Application to demonstrate iPhone functionality using a flashcard application used for educational purposes.

This system uses probabilistic techniques to estimate a user's knowledge and intelligently ask different flashcard definitions. The problem is represented as such: At each point in time there is a ... [More] probability distribution describing a user's chance of defining a word correctly. By asking the user to provide the definition, you observe that distribution. Then telling the user that they are right or wrong affects the distribution. The probability distribution for a user to correctly answer each word is calculated via particle filtering. The resultant change in probability distribution from answering a definition is learned, and assumed to be dependent upon: previous probability of answering correctly, whether the user answered correctly, and how long it had been since the word had been previously asked. Thus a user is (hypotheticly) likely to learn more if frequently asked a word, and the amount learned varies depending on how well they already know the word. With that probabilistic reasoning in place, a value function is defined for probability distributions. The program then finds it very valuable to know a word well, and painful to know a word poorly. The program then selects the next word to ask by greedily choosing the word that is most likely to increase the total value function (probabilistically of course). The implementation is in python, still slow, lacks a GUI, and could use some more words to ask (I have learned them all through debugging . . .). The program architecture still needs to be fitted with the idea of a 'working set' of words, which define those over which the value function is computed. Thus, the program is able to ask the user new words incrementally rather than the entire dictionary at once. [Less]

I wrote this command-line program to practice foreign language vocabulary. A word is shown in a chosen language and guessed in another chosen language (depending on the dictionary extent). Dots are ... [More] shown to represent each letter of the word to be guessed. Words typed wrong are immediately repeated until typed correctly twice in a row or skipped (by hitting enter). At the end of each round the incorrect and skipped words are repeated and rounds continue until there are no incorrect words. Results are logged to a text file. A dictionary entry option is still in development. The dictionaries are formatted as tab-delimited text files having the extension ".dic". Each column is headed by the name of the language. Synonyms can be separated by a forward slash (/). Special characters (e.g. ñ, ü) are currently replaced by their TeX equivalents (e.g. \~n, \"u) and only the base character (e.g. n, u) is expected by the program, but this will probably change now that I've figured out how to easily input these characters in KDE using deadkeys (http://www.tuxmagazine.com/node/1000044). More dictionaries are available at http://www.dicts.info/dictionaries.php but they are not properly formatted, you'll have to do that yourself (and send it to me so that I can upload it here!).
