Web Application for Improvement of Vocabulary and Conversation Skills in Multiple Languages
Jakeš, Jan ; Herout, Adam (referee) ; Szőke, Igor (advisor)
The aim of this work is to create a web application that would help its users to improve their vocabulary and conversation skills in foreign language studies. An important point is an orientation on the study of several languages at the same time. The base of the system is PHP programming language and the Nette Framework library. Other technologies used are MySQL, Doctrine 2, jQuery, ExtJS and programming interfaces of Wordnik and Facebook applications. This text describes the complete process of the development from the specification and analysis of application demands over architecture and user interface design up to implementation details, the process of testing and its results. Finally it sums up the ideas for future development.

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

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.
