Cramberry: make studying easier with web-based flash cards
Cramberry supports multiple sets, and you can make them public, in case you've got study partners you want to share with. To make a card, just enter the text for the front and back. Sorry, art history students, but there's no image support yet. Once you've got your cards set up, Cramberry will quiz you. The best feature is that the cards you're getting wrong most often show up more frequently, to give you extra practice. Cramberry threw a few php errors during my test, but it works smoothly for the most part, and it's a great concept.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place.

It's pretty awesome.

I prefer paper. They don't need a battery or an outlet. Just writing them out is an exercise in memorization.

Both Cramberry and Quizlet pale in comparison to Anki. http://ichi2.net/anki I've been using it for several years and it has rapidly evolved into an excellent spaced repetition flashcard program. Very good for language learning, especially with Japanese. Available on the desktop, the iphone, online and various other platforms. Open source.

Quizlet is a fantastic online flashcard website. It is by far the best out there. Parley ( http://edu.kde.org/parley/ ) looks like a great flashcard app for KDE (and Windows).

http://www.funnelbrain.com is also a great resource for online flashcards and spaced repetition learning. It supports video, images, audio, math formulas, and text.
