I suspect it may be a more practical idea to try to get spaced repetition incorporated into computer-based testing/teaching programs. In my Mnemosyne page, one of the external links is http://bentilly.blogspot.com/2009/09/teaching-linear-algebra.html because I admired how he effectively worked spaced repetition into his tests and so his students benefited without ever once knowing about it or having to set up software. I think something similar could and should be done for online courses, like Khan Academy. I was impressed by the recent TED talk on Khan Academy, http://www.ted.com/talks/salman_khan_let_s_use_video_to_reinvent_education.html . It seemed to me that the part of the site that does review and testing could easily be doing spaced repetition behind the scenes. -- gwern http://www.gwern.net -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "mnemosyne-proj-users" group.
