HippoCampus

The hippocampus is a part of the brain that converts short-term memories into long-term ones. The HippoCampus app was designed to aid in this process. Of the information you absorb once, only 5% is retained in the long term memory. By using spaced repetition and other proven techniques, you can teach yourself faster and more efficiently.

Easily generate courses and quizzes tailored to your interests and needs. There are plenty of learning apps out there, but they all suffer from the same problem: The courses available are limited to those the app creator deemed important enough to take the time to create. What if I want to learn about Canadian History or Native American History or Mongolian History? What if I want a course on the Monarch Butterfly? What if I simply want to quickly capture a random fact I heard during the day? With HippoCampus, you can generate quality courses on whatever subject you want, no matter how obscure or esoteric.

But here's the best part: You won't just be quizzed once. You'll be quizzed at intervals determined by the latest developments in cognitive science and the science of learning. Retrieval practice has been proven to be far more effective than simply re-reading. Spend 15-30 minutes a day on this app and you'll be amazed at how much information you retain.
