Cramberry: make studying easier with web-based flash cards
I wish Cramberry had been around when I was in high school. All those introductory classes, with their requirements of rote memorization, were totally exhausting. Carrying around massive stacks of flash cards with the Latin names of trees written on them is no longer necessary, though. Now you can put your flashcards online with Cramberry.
Cramberry supports multiple sets, and you can make them public, in case you've got study partners you want to share with. To make a card, just enter the text for the front and back. Sorry, art history students, but there's no image support yet. Once you've got your cards set up, Cramberry will quiz you. The best feature is that the cards you're getting wrong most often show up more frequently, to give you extra practice. Cramberry threw a few php errors during my test, but it works smoothly for the most part, and it's a great concept.

This is nice but it's not even close to as good as http://www.quizlet.com
It can make flashcards that actually look like flash cards, there's a mode where it asks you one side and you type the other, it can make tests for you with multiple choice, short answer, matching, and true and false, there's two games you can play with your words, and you can even form study groups. It's pretty awesome.

I prefer paper. They don't need a battery or an outlet. Just writing them out is an exercise in memorization.

Both Cramberry and Quizlet pale in comparison to Anki. http://ichi2.net/anki I've been using it for several years and it has rapidly evolved into an excellent spaced repetition flashcard program. Very good for language learning, especially with Japanese. Available on the desktop, the iphone, online and various other platforms. Open source.

Quizlet is a fantastic online flashcard website. It is by far the best out there. Parley ( http://edu.kde.org/parley/ ) looks like a great flashcard app for KDE (and Windows).

http://www.funnelbrain.com is also a great resource for online flashcards and spaced repetition learning. It supports video, images, audio, math formulas, and text.
