Deck of Flash Cards containing the picture of common objects to be used for patients with memory loss.

Deck of Flash Cards containing pictures of objects familiar to a child to be used for children to increase their vocabulary.

A smart block can include a plurality of displays and configurable magnet components to selectively attract or repel other smart blocks. The smart block can include proximity sensors to identify a surface of another smart block close to the smart block to determine if the smart blocks are correctly oriented based on an application or game associated with the operation of the smart blocks. A plurality of smart blocks can be configured to display a portion of a picture (as a puzzle), such that when the smart blocks are oriented correctly they collectively display the complete picture. The smart blocks can be used in conjunction with a smart mat that is configured to move the smart blocks in response to commands received from a remote computing device. The smart blocks and the smart mat can facilitate interactivity with other, remote users, such as between a caregiver and a child.

An educational card game that teaches chess and has a plurality of decks. Each deck has a character that teaches lessons about chess and then later applies the lessons via puzzles for the user to solve. The puzzle cards have solutions in chess notation, and a unique card is dedicated to teach chess notation. The cards offer annotation and visual aids to simplify complex chess strategies, tactics, and more in flashcard format. Each card is color coded and numbered for simple navigation and difficulty deciphering. A single card is dedicated to teach chess notation and is used as a reference card to help understand other cards that include chess notation.

A map regarding one or more virtual actions may be stored in memory. The virtual actions may be associated with a set of data associated with performing a corresponding action in a real-world environment. Data regarding a action by a user in the real-world environment may be captured. A current progress level of the user within the virtual environment is identified. The current identified progress level is associated with one or more available virtual actions. The captured data may correspond to an identified one of the available virtual actions based on a match between the captured data and the set of data associated with the identified virtual action as indicated by the map. A search of one or more databases for instructions corresponding to the identified virtual action is initiated.

An educational game (and learning management system and methods pertaining to the same) can be configured for the effective teaching of advanced educational curriculum, such as STEM subjects for high school and above. The educational game is configured to integrate social context, real scientific principles and strategic tradeoffs within game mechanisms. This covert teaching and testing environment promotes exploration, individualized discovery, repeat engagement, and systems thinking and planning skills. The educational game can be dynamically and procedurally generated.

The present disclosure is technology providing a foreign language learning application through game contents through a user terminal (smart phone, tablet, PC, or the like), and provides a foreign language word and a meaning thereof based on a preset language provided in an application together. Therefore, it is possible to provide a foreign language learning effect in which the user becomes a subject and learns the foreign language word while actively participating in the game by increasing ‘entertainment’ and ‘participation’ rather than a passive method for learning to write and listen to foreign language alphabets, simply and repeatedly. In addition, it is possible to provide an application that maximizes the effect of learning by repeatedly providing a word that has been encountered once so as not to forget by providing repeated learning based on an Ebbinghaus forgetting curve.
