I’m really excited about software similar to Anki, but with task-specialized user interfaces (vs. self-graded tasks) and better task-selection models (incorporating something like item response theory), ideally to be used for both training and credentialing.
If you’re looking for an institution around which to organize people and projects, I recently created Kilometa Labs for that kinda thing. Will start promoting it in a week or so after we think more about strategy &c. We have a few cool projects in the pipeline as well, so you’d be associating with cool people and cool stuff.
I think you should talk to muflax and Zak Vance about the Anki-like ideas. Will email you with more info, I’ve already mentioned your ideas to them.
I would seriously consider deleting that link until you fix your website. It looks extremely bad and will likely divert people away from your organization.
I’ve explored using spaced repetition in various web-based learning interfaces, which are described at http://cicatriz.github.com I’d love to talk more with anyone who’s interested. Based on my experiences, I have reservations about when and how exactly spaced repetition should be used and don’t believe there’s a general solution using current techniques to quickly go from content to SRS cards. But with a number of dedicated individuals working on different domains, there’s certainly potential for better learning. I’ve been working on writing up a series of articles about this. Again, contact me if you want to be notified when that is released.
I’ve just posted a couple of ideas that involve Anki-like systems, it’d be great to get your feedback. In general I think that anything that promotes wider use of spaced repetition and optimized learning techniques has massive societal.
