Build a flashcard app with spaced repetition

Research question

You write thisOne question you can answer with data, narrow enough to finish in the time you have.

Hypothesis

You write thisWhat you expect to find, and why.

Variables

You write thisWhat you change or compare, what you measure, and what you hold constant.

Methodology

Compare your recall with and without the app on two word lists.

Data collection

You write thisSay what you will record, how many times, and how you will keep the records safe.

Analysis

You write thisChoose the table, chart or test that answers the question; report averages with their spread.

Limitations

You write thisList what could have affected the result: small sample, instrument limits, things you could not control.

Literature review

Find five to eight sources (your textbook, review articles, reports) and note what each says about your question. Group them by idea, not one after another, and end with what is still not known.

References

List every source you used in one style throughout (author, year, title, where it was published, link and the date you opened it).

Use this as the outline of your README or case study.

Problem

Spaced repetition schedules each card at growing intervals: a card you know comes back later, one you miss comes back soon.

Why it matters

You build a tool you will actually use, and the algorithm is a clear application of learning science.

What was built

A working app and a week of your own usage data.

Technology

CSS, HTML, JavaScript

Architecture

You write thisOne diagram: the parts and how data moves between them.

Implementation

You write thisThe 6 build steps in your own words, with one code or design decision you are proud of.

Challenges

You write thisThe hardest bug or decision, and how you got past it.

Results

Use it for a week on real material and check the due counts match the rule.

Demo and code

You write thisA link to a live demo or a short video, and to the GitHub repository.

Lessons learned

You write thisWhat you would do differently next time.

Future improvements

Implement the SM-2 algorithm and compare it with the box system.

Problem

Spaced repetition schedules each card at growing intervals: a card you know comes back later, one you miss comes back soon.

Target user

You write thisOne specific person: who they are and when they would use this.

Solution

Make a web app that shows each card again just before you would forget it.

First version (MVP)

Add cards, review them and move them between two boxes.

Tech stack

CSS, HTML, JavaScript

Architecture

You write thisA quick sketch of the parts and how they connect.

Demo

Use it for a week on real material and check the due counts match the rule.

Stretch goals

Implement the SM-2 algorithm and compare it with the box system.
