This and similar apps are one of the more positive developments in education that I have seen. Certainly there is more to understanding a subject than simply memorizing things, but knowledge of the basic facts, results, and common insights of a subject greatly facilitate our ability to make connections, develop intuition, and have discussions about the subject. The courses available go beyond languages ... and there is already a basic statistics / probability course here. I haven't tried it yet but am eager to do so to get some ideas. Memrise allows users to create and share their own courses, and I would like to create a graduate level course that includes the key statistical principles taught at Harvard.
