Summary
You know that feeling: exam time is looming. You've spent three days making flashcards and highlighting your notes, but you haven't even started actually studying yet... Whether you're a vet student drowning in slide decks, a membership candidate juggling articles and notes, or a resident trying to jam an impossible volume of clinical knowledge into your skull - the way most of us study is, frankly, not backed by the science. Which is why you might need a little help from technology: In part two of our Tech Tools for Vets series, software engineer Hasitha Jayatilake joins me to walk you through StudyAnything - an AI-powered study tool that generates quizzes from your notes, tracks your weak spots over time, and builds guided learning pathways based on Bloom's hierarchy of learning. (By the way - he built this tool because he couldn’t bare watching his vet student partner making Anki cards at 2am!) What you'll learn: How active recall and spaced repetition actually work - and why highlighting your notes is basically doing nothing What Bloom's hierarchy means for your study plan - and how Study Anything uses it to move you from rote recall to clinical application StudyAnything’s guided learning pathway feature (just gone live) - that turns your uploaded notes into a structured lesson plan with concept maps, assumed knowledge, and motivational context How the community feature works - study groups, shared question banks, and what this means for educators (or podcast hosts!) who want to create resources How to generate harder questions on demand - using learning outcomes and difficulty levels to get yourself on the honours roll What makes this different from Notebook LM or other AI tools This episode includes screen sharing, so if you want to follow along, watch the video…
