Hello, fellow CINers!
Since we don't have a subforum for SecAI+ (and I don't believe we need one since SecAI+ is a Security 'expansion' certification), I wanted to post this here.
I've been a flashcard user and developer forever. I've always given my students pointers to flashcards I've developed. This past year I've soured on the web-based flashcard application that I had been paying for and using. After looking at several alternatives, I chose Brainscape. Why Brainscape and not something else? I've used Quizlet for years, but its flashcard capabilities haven't really changed. Instead, they seem to focus on other aspects of gamification and different audiences (school-age children and learner groups). The open-source solution is Anki, but I found it exposed a lot of capabilities, and it was hard for someone who just wanted to study with my decks to get started. I've also been using Kahoots, but it feels like they abandoned flashcards and went headfirst into gamification for groups of learners.
I've developed and now deploy flashcards in Brainscape, using their web interface as well as on Apple iOS and Android. It all works.
I've published my SecAI+ flashcards, and you can try them out by clicking here. I'd appreciate any feedback on these decks. Thanks!
Brian
