Learning platform for increasing memory retention of definitions of words

A computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, by the processing device, an input of a word that is to be learned by a user;
• performing, by the processing device, a search for a definition of the word using a search engine;
• receiving, by the processing device, the definition of the word based on the search;
• prompting, by the processing device, the user to rewrite the definition;
• receiving, by the processing device, a user input of a new definition for the word;
• prompting, by the processing device, the user to select a vocabulary learning mode from a group of vocabulary learning modes consisting of:
• a story mode, an etymology mode, an image mode and a word connections mode, wherein each of the story mode, the etymology mode, the image mode and the word connections mode implements at least one of a motivation-based learning technique, an association-based learning technique, an emotion-based learning technique, or a color-based learning technique to facilitate retention of the definition of the word;
• receiving, by the processing device, a selection of a vocabulary learning mode from the group of vocabulary learning modes;
• providing, by the processing device, a user interface and one or more tools for generation of a card for study of the word, wherein the one or more tools are based on the selected vocabulary learning mode;
• and
• generating the card by the processing device;
• and
• saving the card by the processing device.

A computing device comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor operatively connected to the memory, wherein the processor is to:
• receive an input of a word that is to be learned by a user;
• perform a search for a definition of the word using a search engine;
• receive the definition of the word based on the search;
• prompt the user to rewrite the definition;
• receive a user input of a new definition for the word;
• prompt the user to select a vocabulary learning mode from a group of vocabulary learning modes consisting of:
• a story mode, an etymology mode, an image mode and a word connections mode, wherein each of the story mode, the etymology mode, the image mode and the word connections mode implements at least one of a motivation-based learning technique, an association-based learning technique, an emotion-based learning technique, or a color-based learning technique to facilitate retention of the definition of the word;
• receive a selection of a vocabulary learning mode from the group of vocabulary learning modes;
• provide a user interface and one or more tools for generation of a card for study of the word, wherein the one or more tools are based on the selected vocabulary learning mode;
• generate the card based on user input;
• and
• save the card.
