Anki is a program designed to help you remember facts (such as words and
phrases in a foreign language) as easily, quickly and efficiently as possible.
To do this, it tracks how well you remember each fact, and uses that
information to optimally schedule review times.
Besides text, it supports sounds, images and rendering TeX snippets in the
cards. It can synchronize card decks to a server so that you can review the
deck on other computers, a web interface or mobile devices, for which versions
of Anki are also available. Complete card decks offered by other users can be
downloaded the same way.
Anki is extensible with plugins which can be downloaded and installed from
the menu. While Anki can be used for studying anything, plugins are available
with special features designed to make studying Japanese and English easier:
integrated dictionary lookups, missing kanji reports, and more.

Vym is a mind mapping program. It is useful to organize thoughts and
do structure work. In addition to that it has a lot of helpful
shortcuts.
A mindmap is a multicolored and image centered radial diagram that
represents semantic or other connections between portions of learned
material. For example, it can graphically illustrate the structure
of a thesis outline, a project plan, or the government institutions
in a state. Mindmaps have many applications in personal, family,
educational, and business situations. Possibilities include
note-taking, brainstorming, summarizing, revising and general
clarifying of thoughts.

Freeplane is a free and open source software application that supports
thinking, sharing information and getting things done at work, in school
and at home. The core of the software is tools for mind mapping (also
known as concept mapping or information mapping) and using mapped
information.
Occupying the middle ground between an editor and a diagramming tool,
Freeplane allows the user to add content as quickly and naturally as they
would in a text editor, yet producing structured content that can be
manipulated as easily as a diagram.
Features include ordering ideas in nodes and freely positionable
nodes, connecting nodes, automatic/conditional styles, scripting,
add-ons, LaTeX, search/filtering, different export features, printing,
password protection of nodes/maps and more.
See http://freeplane.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page for a full
list of applications and features.

JClic is formed by a set of computer applications that are used for
carrying out different types of educational activities: puzzles,
associations, text exercises, crosswords...
The activities are not usually used alone, but packed in projects. A
project is formed by a set of activities and one or more sequences,
which indicate the order in which they have to be shown.
Its community (http://clic.xtec.net/db/listact_en.jsp) has developed a web
site with more than 1.000 activities available in several languages.
This package contains JClic-author to create and modify activity
projects, JClic standalone player to play the activities and
JClic-reports that allows the management of a database to track
students work and results.
