Active Recall
Retrieving information from memory strengthens it far more than rereading or highlighting. Each time you pull an answer out, the memory becomes easier to access later.
Write your own questions and answers. Learnova builds a private practice session using active recall and spaced repetition. Nothing leaves your browser.
Study items
For each item, type a question and the answer you want to be able to recall.
Privacy-safe: no AI, no network, no storage.
The science
Teach-Back is built around three well-established learning techniques. Each is widely studied in education and cognitive psychology research.
Retrieving information from memory strengthens it far more than rereading or highlighting. Each time you pull an answer out, the memory becomes easier to access later.
Material you find harder is shown to you again later in the session. Revisiting tougher ideas at increasing intervals is one of the most reliable ways to build long-term retention.
Putting an idea into your own words forces you to connect it to what you already know. This deeper processing is consistently linked to better understanding and transfer.
Privacy first
Fully private by design. Learnova runs entirely on your device, with no AI, no tracking, and no data ever stored or transmitted, making it safe and simple for classroom use.
