Anki

Principal function(s): Autonomous learningFlashcard creators

A flashcard tool that helps learners memorise facts, words, and more. It supports images, audio, and video and can be synced with other devices, such as smartphones or tablets. It can also be installed on a PC or be used online by setting up an account. Evaluation: A good tool for memorising facts and words, thus being potentially useful for any kind of subject or language. Pupils and students can use it to record and store unknown words in their target language and to later test their knowledge. Teachers can create flashcards and share them with students to study individually at home or recreate a quiz in the classroom, being thus a suitable tool for flashcard but also quiz creation. Since it supports video and audio, Anki can also be used for enhancing language skills such as listening and pronunciation, being therefore very fitting for language teaching and learning. Average IT skills are a prerequisite for using Anki.

Cost: Free for all operating systems but iOS, for which the lifetime usage cost is $24.99.
