MemorizeIt is a multimedia flashcard application (DVD backup application for Mac) that allows you to create your own decks of flashcards incorporating text, sound, pictures, and drawings. Using several testing methods: multiple choice, true/false, type-in and honor system, MemorizeIt can be used for any subject from preschool to medical school.

MemorizeIt allows you to easily create the cards with exactly the information you need to study. All this for only $25 (for a limited time - regularly $39).Why MemorizeIt? If you've ever used flashcards before and have something you need to learn quickly, then MemorizeIt is for you. The whole idea of learning is centered around repetition. The more you practice something, the better you get and the more you know about it. MemorizeIt takes this idea to a whole new level with the ability to consistently focus on the information which gives you the most trouble. Repetition plays a vital role in the retention of information. This Kent State study guide for college students talks of the importance of repetition in learning. An Exam preparation guide from the Kildare Nationalists also touches on the importance of repetition and "practicing recall". The biology department at the University of Texas at Austin has a study guide which notes the importance of writing down notes and repetition, although they do recommend trying to gain understanding instead of rote memorization. There are many (SMTP Server software) other examples of the importance of learning through repetition. In most cases the process is to first write something down, then repeatedly review it. The creation of the flashcards with MemorizeIt is the writing down part, and the quizzing and testing (repetition) is what MemorizeIt does best.How to create your own Flashcards? MemorizeIt includes all the tools you need to quickly and easily create your own flashcards. It includes card editing features which allow you to place pictures, text, drawing, and sound on any card. All the standard drawing tools and patterns are included The second way to create whole decks is by using a word processor. You create a text file with all the cards included and import the file into MemorizeIt. All the cards are created automatically and MemorizeIt centers all the text for you. The main design goal of MemorizeIt is to help students quickly study the information which is important to them. There are many time saving features which enhance a students ability to create their own flashcards efficiently and quickly. A design with students in mind from day one. In most cases, creating the flashcards with MemorizeIt is faster than doing it by hand!Card Types Flashcards in MemorizeIt come in four different types. Honor System You answer the card aloud or to yourself, turn the card over to see if you got the answer correct. MemorizeIt asks you if you answered the card correctly. The computer uses your answer to score the card as hard or easy. Multiple Choice You are allowed to enter up to 5 choices (A-E). The computer automatically keeps track of the card score as you quiz. True False You create a true false question and the computer automatically keeps track of the card score as you quiz. Type-in A one or two word answer to a given question. The answer must be typed exactly as it appears, or it will be scored incorrectly. MemorizeIt flashcards are actually four sided. How can a piece of paper have anything more than two sides you ask? Well, when you print the cards, they are two sided, but every electronic MemorizeIt flashcard has a hint and a why card as well. You create the hint and why card exactly as you would the front and the back of the card. While quizzing, you are given the choice to look at the hint while you are looking at the front of the card. You are also given the choice of seeing the why card while looking at the answer.Quizzing and Testing There are several quizzing methods you can use in MemorizeIt. Quiz All This will cycle through all the cards in the deck no matter what your score on that card. MemorizeIt will continue to keep track of which cards give you the most trouble. Quiz Medium/Hard/By Percentage Cards will be selected by their difficulty giving you more repetition on the hardest cards. Randomly This is a flag which you can turn on which will cycle the cards randomly instead of in order. If you do quiz in order, you can simply shuffle the deck of cards and any time. Auto Quiz MemorizeIt will cycle through the cards on a time delay of your choice. Once you get too tired of answering the questions, just turn on auto quiz and watch the cards cycle. We call this quiz by osmosis. Quick Test This allows you to test yourself on the cards in any deck. Once you have answered all the questions, press the Grade button. The window will change to show you a report on how well you did on the test. T-Scope The T-Scope design is based on a device called a tachistoscope. The earliest reference found for this device was 1890. Since that time it has been primarily used by research psychologists studying education. It is a device used to present objects to the eye for a brief measured period, e.g., a fraction of a second. One of its principal applications is the measurement of the amount of detail that can be comprehended by a single viewing. You can set the delay and time between cards as if you have one of these specialized devices. We have taken up the tachistoscope flag and added T-Scope capability to MemorizeIt flashcards. We believe it is the first, and only, software tachistoscope.Printing Flashcards Take your flashcards with you everywhere you go. While MemorizeIt is a great electronic flashcard system, that doesn't mean most of us keep our computer with us and turned on 24 hours a day. MemorizeIt includes a flexible printing system which will allow you to take your flashcards with you and quiz yourself anytime anywhere. The most popular printing style is to print your cards on perforated paper. This cheapest is business card paper and index card paper, but sizes go as large as post cards. If perforated paper is out of your budget, then you can have MemorizeIt draw the cut lines when it prints. You can print on a heavier stock paper (OCR Converter) and cut out the cards with scissors. Printing front and back typically takes two passes and requires that you under stand which side of the paper your print prints on from the paper tray. Once you know this, just tell MemorizeIt to print all the fronts of the cards. Take that paper, turn it over and put it back into the paper tray. Tell MemorizeIt to print out all the backs of the cards. Separate the cards and your done.Subjects The creator of MemorizeIt, Wood Harter, wrote this application for himself to study art history in college. Later he created a version with sound (and graphics!) so he could study German vocabulary while living in Germany in 1991. He's since used this for spelling words with younger family members, and most recently for the GRE. We have reports of students around the world using MemorizeIt for every kind of subject imaginable. The most popular subjects include law school, medical school, foreign language, biology, anatomy, kids spelling words and pilot training. Here is the laundry list of subjects: Anatomy, Art History, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, CPA, English, Flags of the World, French, Geography, German, GRE, History, Japanese, Law, Morse Code, Mathematics, Medical School, Pilot Training, Psychology, Russian, SAT, Sign Language, Spanish, Spelling, Sports, Vietnamese.
