Email-based (spaced repetition) course creation tool

šŸ—ļø Work-in-progress! šŸ—ļø

The idea is to create a reusable course generator Val designed with effective, research-backed learning techniques in mind. That includes techniques like spaced repetition (via an interval between email lessons), retrieval practice (quizzing and fill-in-the-blank), elaboration and reflection (writing exercises). The Val(s) will include:

  • Email signup and verification
  • Template to fill in with course content
  • SQLite tables to store students and track progress
  • Cron job to send lessons to students

As the first use case for this generalizable course creator, I plan to make a course about Make It Stick, which is a practical book about learning research that gave me the idea.

I'm writing more about the implementation on my digital garden, which is also where you'll find the signup form.
