Nice. SRS integration is my ultimate yak-shave when learning something new.
> I wish educators and educational institutions would make an attempt to incorporate SRS into classes. I think it would help a lot of students, especially for cumulative final exams.
Some of us try to. But when teaching middle-high school aged children the problem is almost always one of motivation and engagement rather than tooling and methodology.
You can take a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Worst case scenario you try to enforce SRS activities and some students develop an aversion to an incredibly powerful tool.
My sweet spot was something like "here is an app called Anki, here is a deck of content we will cover in this class (tagged by week), try it out and see if its useful for you". Even then I was slightly conflicted because I've always wondered how much of the utility I've gotten from SRS came from sitting down and making the decks myself...
