About Bitesize
Bitesize is a mobile app marketed towards third-level students in Ireland with the hope to be scaled and used for students at all levels and ages.
Learning Techniques
LBitesize uses digital flashcards combined with well-researched and tested learning techniques such as spaced repetition, the Feynman technique and also Leitner systems.
Feynman technique
The Feynman technique is a study technique that was noted by an American theoretical psychist who was also a Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman. The main idea behind the technique is to take something hard to understand and try to clarify it in your mind by explaining it as if you were talking to a child.
Leitner systems
The Leitner system is essentially a spaced repetition exercise. It was introduced by a German man named Sebastian Leitner who was a scientific journalist
Spaced repeition
Spaced repetition is a method of reviewing material at systematic intervals. At the beginning of the learning process, the intervals are spaced closely together (for example, one hour; four hours; or one day). As the material is reviewed, the intervals become systematically longer (four days; one week; two weeks).
