This article was interesting, especially since I was searching for thoughts on this subject last Moday.

Hi Rory

Looks like this was once a semi-hot topic! I am a longtime Flashcard Aficionado and I have had some similar ideas for some time. I just couldn’t bring myself to use the existing flashcard resources on the web. I recently launched my initial site.

Right now it is just the basics + a little ajax and tagging. The Leitner card file system is next. I learned it from an instructor at uni years ago but only found out the proper name for the system while doing research for the site.

Some other sites have come along while I have been in development and a few look promising.

StudyStack.com is another site where users can share flashcards with others. The same data is also displayed as a crossword puzzle, a word search puzzle, a hangman game, and a matching activity. The flashcards can be exported to several PDA programs and to cell phones and iPods.

Hey,

It’s not exactly flashcards, but the concept is the same.

Hello there. I’m Riad Djemili, the creator of jMemorize (http://www.riad.de/jmemorize) and I’ve been actually developing a flashcards website secretly for some months now. Its done in Ruby on Rails and will have all that good “web 2.0″ features like Ajax, tags, RSS and a lot more. I’m very happy with it.

A private beta will be starting soon.

I actually wrote something like this in PHP. This was before ‘tags’, so managing all the different subjects and such was an interface nightmare. I recently was going to rewrite it in RoR, but then I found jMemorize which works great for a single user if you aren’t going to share your cards. You should have a look at it for ideas.

Also nice is the capability to read through subject matter such as an .xhtml book and then have flash cards that quiz you on the material you read.

Probably I would do it in Flash, using TeX/LaTeX for mathematical formulas. That way you’d be able to create them super easily, since Flash supports all kinds of user interaction. And it would be fairly trivial to save them, as well, even if they included the author’s drawings and such.
