Setting Learning Schedule
You change the learning schedule of a set of notes by editing the settings of the stack containing them.
The learning schedules include:
Schedule Label | Description |
---|---|
Do not schedule notes for study | Notes in the stack will not be scheduled, and thus will never be due for study. |
Long-term learning (spaced repetition) | Uses a spaced-repetition algorithm ideal for long-term learning, similar to that used in applications like Supermemo. |
Target a deadline | A hybrid method that combines the efficiencies of spaced-repetition, with the need to know information on a specific date, such as an exam day. When you select this option, you also need to set the target date. This program will work best over a few months. |
Short-term cramming | This schedule is based on the well-known Leitner System of moving flashcards between boxes. The schedule simulates the levels of the boxes. When you get a note correct, it moves to the next box; when wrong, it moves back to the first box. The notes in the first non-empty box are the ones that are due for study at any point in time, and you finish when all notes make it to the last box. There are no time intervals built into this system; if you want to study a set of due notes more than once a day, you can refresh the due status of the notes manually, and studying as often as you like. This makes it the best schedule for short-term learning, like cramming for a test or exam with only a few days to study. |
Regular time intervals | If you prefer to study your notes at a regular interval, such as monthly or yearly, you can use this option. When you select it, you also need to set the time interval to use. |
