The current prototype (designed to teach facts) functions like an automated flashcard system, presenting and quizzing on information in external content bundles. _This is the key_; the ECV contains no content at all, and could teach facts or lists in many different domains (reusability!). The next version of the prototype will integrate research-based rehearsal schedules to improve learning. And of course, if we ever get our NSF funding, we’ll build ECVs for other kinds of content - concepts, procedures, etc…
