Web application for learning English vocabulary
Trča, Matouš ; Procházka, Josef (advisor) ; Jeřábek, Tomáš (referee)
TITLE: A web application for learning English vocabulary AUTHOR: Matouš Trča DEPARTMENT: IT & Technical Education Department SUPERVISOR: PhDr. Josef Procházka, Ph.D. ABSTRACT: The aim of this bachelor thesis is to create an operational prototype of a web application, which would help students to practice English vocabulary. The algorithm of the application will be based on Spaced Repetition technique, which incorporates increasing intervals of time between subsequent reviews of previously learned flashcards. The application will allow users to register, to create a new collection of flashcards, and it will optionally notify them by e-mail about their daily batch. The creation of flashcards will by semi-automated - users input the word, which they want to remember, and the system will generate flashcards using freely available dictionary APIs. The first, theoretical part focuses on general aspects of learning, memory and forgetting. It also compares the existing applications for learning vocabulary and their algorithms. The practical part of this bachelor thesis is concerned with the development of the application, from the design to the implementation and final user testing. KEYWORDS: learning, web application, English vocabulary, spaced repetition, flashcards

Jabber robot for vocabulary exercising
Maršíček, Lukáš ; Šlajchrt, Zbyněk (advisor) ; Pavlíčková, Jarmila (referee)
The bachelor's thesis deals with development of an automated testing tool, which tests user's specified foreign language vocabulary, and of an additional web application, which displays information about test results to registered users. The practical part of the work is focused on analysis, design and implementation of both applications and it also includes a detailed user guide. The theoretical part briefly introduces the Leitner system, which is used in the automated testing tool to make the process of learning more effective, and the technology Jabber/XMPP, which is used for communication between the user and the developed automated testing tool. The main results of the work are both developed applications, which are designed as a tool for foreign language learning for all students, regardless of the level of their language skills.

Analysis of the Supermemo like products
Churý, František ; Šedivá, Zuzana (advisor) ; Pavlíček, Luboš (referee)
Práce se zabývá problematikou produktů typu Supermemo (též nazývaných Flashcard software). Zjednodušeně řečeno se jedná o software, který slouží k opakování slovíček. Cílem je porovnat vybrané produkty, zamyslet se nad ideálním softwarem tohoto typu a nad možným budoucím vývojem. V první části práce objasňuji (zejména dříve rozšířený) princip učení slovíček pomocí papírových kartiček (tzv. Flashcards). Přibližuji metody a důvody práce s těmito kartičkami, algoritmy jejich přesunů apod. Z těchto metod vychází počítačový software, zvažuji výhody a nevýhody softwaru oproti Flashcards. Dále formuluji možné požadavky na ideální software tohoto typu, analyzuji vybrané produkty (Supermemo, VTrain a Flashcard Exchange) a konfrontuji je s formulovanými požadavky. Na závěr se zamýšlím nad možnými vylepšeními produktů a budoucím vývojem v oblasti.
