Ah yes, I am a student and I have some experience using this.
Ever since I read the article on Wired I was quite curious as to whether it would help. I did some digging and soon found a community of users that were successfully implementing Wozniak's ideas with programs such as SuperMemo and Anki, mainly for vocabulary learning purposes.
The way I implemented this was by installing FullRecall, a spaced repetition software on my PDA and using it to revise while on the bus or on random lost moments. It is not exactly Wozniak, but I think that it is a good way to implement it if you do not want to 'surrender to the algorithm', as it were.
My interest is not languages, but Humanities - which is what I am studying. I googled up a few good glossaries of literary and sociological terms, wikipediaed the definitions if needed and then loaded them unto the software. i have also used it to remember precise definitions of a philosopher's ideas and so on.
This method has given me an incredible advantage in my exams, all while living my life. It is not just the fact that you memorise the terms, but I believe that being reminded of concepts is a good way to engage the subconscious, which results in lots of creativity and original thought.
Just my two cents...
I plan on using it to learn PHP, mySQL, Affiliate marketing and SEOing soon, and I will defo keep you posted on this.
