Learn from images- a shareware program to help you
The program puts an image on the screen. Beneath the image there are three buttons. One's label will be something related to the image, the other labels will be unrelated.
I wrote the program to help me to learn the names of pupils I see infrequently. A face appears on the screen, and three buttons with three names. Users click on the button they think matches the image. If right, a new problem appears. If wrong, that label goes red, and the user tries again. Thus users get instant feedback when they are ignorant, and an immediate chance to try again. If they succeed on their second attempt, they go on to the next problem, if not, they get to see what the right answer was. (It will be the text on the remaining button.)
Several sets of questions are available here for download, but the program will really serve you well if you to set up your own question sets, comprising the things you need to learn. Nothing could be simpler: You merely put a bunch of bitmap (extension bmp) files in a folder, naming each image as you want the label to appear on the button. The bitmaps should be 250 pixels high, no more than 680 pixels wide.
Click here to download zip file with the program.... It will unzip into InstallShield setup files for you to run, and a readme. After doing the setup, you will have the program and some demo question sets.
Please note one rough edge still maring the program: After you start it, you must click "New Question" once to get the first question.

Alternative, additional data sets demonstrating the program:
In each case, you just download a self extracting file created with WinZip by clicking on the heading for the demo set you want. When you run the file, all it will do is put some .BMP files in the folder of your choice.

If you would like to make a similar sets of .BMPs available to people, send me your URL and I would be glad to publicise what you have done. The .BMPs should be 250 pixels high, no more than 680 pixels wide. The names of the .BMPs will determine what appears on the buttons MGA14 generates for the user to click to say what the current image is.
