I'm not sure if this is what you're after but Supermemo is a fantastic learning tool.

It uses a system of spaced repetitions to significantly increase retention and memory. It's been around a long time and has been refined over many years. The creator was featured in Wired not long ago..

Unfortunately it's windows only.

There is an open source project providing similar functionality called Mnemosyne that runs on Linux, Mac OSX and Windows.
