Core Concepts
Before diving deeper, it helps to understand a few key concepts:
Curricula
A curriculum is a container for all your study materials related to a specific topic. Think of it as a course or subject folder. You can have multiple curricula for different subjects.
Study Items
Study items are individual pieces of content you want to learn. These can be flashcards (with a front and back), multiple choice questions, or cloze deletions (fill-in-the-blank exercises).
Spaced Repetition
Spaced repetition is a learning technique that spaces out reviews of information at increasing intervals. Scholium uses the FSRS algorithm (Free Spaced Repetition Scheduler) to determine the optimal time to review each item based on your performance.
