MemoryLifter 2.4 - now with free Learning Modules
A new version of MemoryLifter has been released. The popular flashcard software is now open source and all learning content that was developed and formerly sold by LearnLift is available to the community for free.
Users can now choose from more than 150 free Learning Modules, including multiple foreign language modules featuring audio and images, as well as modules in the applied sciences, arts, natural sciences, social sciences, and learning modules for college entry exam preparation. These modules can be downloaded easily via the integrated MemoryLifter feed. Customers who previously purchased Learning Modules from LearnLift should continue to use MemoryLifter 2.3 for these modules, but it is possible to run MemoryLifter 2.4 in parallel.
