historical events, formulae and more.
The tool is gaining prominence in online mode
also because of the advancement in technology. There are various types of flash cards software available online. They basically employ the technique of spaced repetition.

scheduling, repetition spacing & so on. The algorithms here are
specifically designed for improving the overall experience of end-user. Two sided
bi-lingual flash cards are designed for people to adapt with multiple
languages. Cards like Japanese-English, French- Chinese or English-Chinese are

Children are naturally
motivated to play games. Serious Games are interactive play that teach students
goals, rules, adaptation, problem solving, interaction,
all represented as a story. They give them the fundamental
needs of learning by providing enjoyment, passionate involvement, structure, motivation, ego gratification, adrenaline, creativity,
social interaction and emotion. Play has a deep biological, evolutionarily
important, function, which has to do specifically with learning.
