Teachers and Students Welcome

The Brainscape app is a multi-tasking app that can be used by teachers and students. As a student you will be using it to learn through repetition because this app uses a timing method to teach.

The best iPad apps for teachers

As an instructor you'll be using this app to track students' performance and to help them better their student habits in general. As the student after you finish each concept you need to rate how well you have learned and are familiar with the content on a scale of one to five.

The app then uses this information to decide when to quiz you on the content next so you don't have to worry about going back to it on your own.

The app is free to use and from there you'll be able to make in-app purchases of different lessons. These lessons vary in prices from $4.99 to $19.99 and include such things as World Geography, SAT Vocabulary, Music Theory, French Vocabulary, and plenty more.

It seems that the approach is really resonating with users who have given it 4.5 out of five stars. In its latest update there were a number of enhancements and improvements made so that the user experience is more beneficial.

It doesn't matter what the subject content is, because the method stays the same and uses interval repetition with bite-sized amounts of content.

There are two different ways to use the app. You can make the in-app purchases to use the expert content from Brainscape or you can make your own flashcards to quiz yourself with.

If you are making your own flashcards you can share them with other classmates and even collaborate on them.
