Study Emacs Org Mode files with spaced repetition.
Most spaced repetition software (SRS), including org-drill.el, drills the user on atomic facts divided into flashcards. The idea behind org-study.el is to embed flashcards directly into notes or study materials as unobtrusively as possible, so that passive and active recall can be part of the same study session, and flashcard creation is a natural part of note-taking.
Right now, only simple fill-in-the-blank questions with a single answer and multiple choice questions are supported.
The spaced repetition algorithm I use is based on the SRS anki.
To use, put this in your init file:
(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/org-study")
(require 'org-study)Rewrite the system for defining cards types to be more general and easy to understand
There is already a spaced-repetition extension for org-mode, and I should borrow the algorithm from that instead of recreating it
Flashcard scheduling data is stored inline like this:
STUDY{[2015-07-22 Wed],130,130 }
Although font-lock can collapse it into one character this is not ideal
Look at org-archive for undoable operations involving other files
And it looks like the current scheduling algorithm isn’t quite right 5883
