Abstract
The academic efficiency and knowledge retention of students can be improved by practicing active recall testing and implementing spaced repetition techniques. The process of trying to recall information previously learned with the aim of increasing the chance of committing the information to long-term memory is called active recall. Spaced repetition is a technique which can help students to memorize and learn information by outspreading reviews of the topics over larger range of time revising the same topic multiple times in a single session.
A qualitative method has been followed in this paper which takes a grounded theory approach while evaluating literature on different memory models, memory creation and retrieval processes. Based on the literature review, an algorithm has been proposed with the aim of improving learning effectiveness by leveraging spaced repetition techniques.
