“Spaced repetition is a method of reviewing material at systematic intervals. ... Rather than learning information in a short time period, which can lead to quick forgetting, spaced repetition focuses on long-term retention of new information.”
S P A C I N G O U T is an app that makes the power of spaced repetition accessible to students of all types and skill levels through an easy, intuitive UI. The user creates notes that can be turned into flashcards that are used in spaced repetition study. The app then automatically schedules study sessions based on a goal date.
