Anki open source spaced fact learning tool for the P2PU toolset

[Maria Droujkova]

This is a powerful open source tool, and a thriving resource exchange community that can add a lot to many courses. It provides a platform for doing the following:

• Making sets of flashcards that express facts in use by a learning group
• Automatically scheduling cards for review, based on each person's card-by-card data and a comparatively sophisticated psychology of memory theory
• A format for sharing card sets - publishing, downloading, remixing
  
• Web, mobile and desktop sync

I like the interface a lot, as well. I am using the tool for my "Times tables in a week" (which may become a P2PU course if I figure out what to do for 6 weeks). In this case, card sets are patterns found in times tables, such as the times nine pattern of digits, or off-diagonal "one less than square" pattern (e.g. 4*6=5*5-1).

Shareable sets of cards can become powerful social objects for peer groups.
