I few years back I co-founded Memorang[0] to do exactly this. While I'm no longer affiliated with the company, it technically is a free solution, albeit geared mainly towards medical students.

Memorang | San Francisco | https://www.memorangapp.com/jobs | full-time, onsite/remote

We merge the concepts of an adaptive study tool, spaced repetition, a gamified community, crowdsourced content, and premium test-prep. Memorang is equally effective for acing your boards in medical school (30% of US med students on the platform) or learning your multiplication tables in elementary school. Our mission is to level the playing field in education by making advanced learning and knowledge retention possible for any type of student regardless of financial circumstance.

Love slate, switched to it after ShiftIt went unmaintained a few years back, though it looks like ShiftIt is back in active development. Slate config is really nice, you'll feel at home if you are used to setting up vim or tmux configs.

Sounds good. We'll probably make a post in our blog (http://blog.memorangapp.com) so stay tuned. To that note, each individual study set has some decent metrics on where you stand in relation to everyone studying the same thing as well as general performance/improvement, it's not perfect but it's a start. Check it out for one of our most popular sets https://www.memorangapp.com/flashcards/117/Exotic+Cats+%28ex... click on the "Study stats" tab and you'll see. This is all data we want to make available over the API.

Awesome! Love to hear positive feedback :-)

We're not an open source tool so unfortunately no. I should say that we reached profitability only a few months after launch and our team has experience in 4 other startups before this one (if that helps in gaining your vote of confidence).

I would love to have you be a member, email me and we can work something out.

Awesome! I personally use our platform for things like expanding my multiplication table chops (out to 20) or learning about cooking temperatures http://www.memorangapp.com/flashcards/16309/Roast+-+Steak+Co...

Happy to help you design something for your coursework, we are actively looking to build an educator service allowing you to share course materials with students. Stay tuned for updates on this in the near future.

We allow for private content, but that's a premium feature since it's against the ethos of our platform.

We do have a fully-featured API, in fact our mobile apps are built on top of the same API as the website. At the present it's not documented, this will be happening as fast as we can work on it. We're a small 3 person company so things like documentation take a back seat sometimes. If you're handy with a browser console you should be able to poke around, pm me if you want an API key :-)

The site itself is free, and you can print material that you create. We only charge for premium content which is material that we've specifically created for exams and is guaranteed to be high quality and accurate.

We allow for imports from top flashcard programs including Anki, however Anki files tend to be large so for the time being there is a 10MB (I think) cap on the size of an Anki deck you can upload. I can do it manually for larger decks if you pm me. Export is something we don't support at the present, but will probably get built at some point in the future.

A friend and I decided to build an Anki replacement a few years ago, it's now located at https://www.memorangapp.com and has a loyal following of 10s of thousands of users. Anki is a great tool and has a wide variety of content on Ankiweb, however the ecosystem doesn't allow for any collaboration or the ability to keep content up to date (aside from manually editing decks, but where for example can you suggest a correction?).

Memorang was designed from the ground up to be the next generation adaptive learning platform. In fact many hard-core Anki users have switched over to our platform and love it! The main difference is in the ease of use of both creating and consuming content. Anki has the underpinnings of supermemo, which is designed for the ideal learner. In a couple of experiments that we've done partnered with large institutions, one still underway, we have shown that most students are not "ideal learners" in that most still cram right before big exams or deadlines. The original study focused on efficacy, you can find the slides we did for an NSF sponsored presentation here http://www.slideshare.net/gjcourt/memorang-nsf-mooc-2014. The latest study is still in the works, but will involve significantly more data.

Anki is a fantastic program and many people love and use it everyday. If you have loved and used Anki as much as we have, then give Memorang a try and see what you think! (or come help us improve the future of learning https://www.memorangapp.com/jobs)

Beginning Javascript with DOM scripting

This guy literally "wrote the book" that taught me javascript. One of the best resources that I've ever used to this day. Kudos on the new job.

Given Moki's powerful search and the ability to track movies/tv I think that they have a clear advantage in the space. I track TV with Moki and it has helped me find new relevant content.

My weekly Moki digest email also helps me keep track of shows that I'm interested in, another huge benefit. Matt and Sandy, you guys have done an incredible job so far. The integration with Netflix, Amazon, and iTunes is only the beginning. I can't wait to see what you bring to the table next.

MIT is a beacon of intellectual integrity. As such, it is the duty of the institute to let her go. Condoning her actions would be condoning fabricated information, and thereby undermining the entire scientific research community. They punish students with the same sort of rigor, why not the faculty?
