Spaced repetition is a concept that suggests that learning can be improved by studying material repeatedly over time, with increasing intervals of time between study sessions (“Spaced Repetition”, 2014). One type of spaced repetition is known as the Leitner system – an algorithm that is commonly used to order cards within a deck of flashcards. The idea behind the Leitner system is to increase the selection frequency of cards that the student is having difficulty with, while decreasing the frequency of cards that are well known (“Leitner System”, 2013).
The project proposed by the Change Agents is an application that allows students (Users) to create decks of flash cards (Card Decks) within a computer’s user interface, and study them using the concepts of spaced repetition to organize the Cards within a Card Deck, and additionally, all the Card Decks within the User-created Library of Card Decks. This concept represents an extension of utility from existing applications, which focus primarily on applying spaced repetition only to individual decks of cards, and not to a growing library of previously-studied material .
