But none of this is an ancestor, Dr. Wozniak was the first to apply computers for adaptive learning starting about 1986. In fact every single one of the applications mentioned are using a modified version of sm-2 algorithm, and even worst some use Leitner's algorithm. Which although was good for cardboard flash cards is not efficient as it can be when using a computer. “here are several ancestors to SuperMemo, I’ll list the applications that are maintained and free”
