I just discovered a great new plug-in (in time for mid-terms) for OpenOffice.org Impress called Open Cards. It is uses the titles of the slides as the question and the body of the slide as the answer to the flashcards. It keeps track of your learning state, has a couple of different learning modes, and seems to use some pretty sophisticated training algorithms.
I put together a set of flashcards for electrodynamics if you're interested in trying it out (of course you need Open Office installed to use the file).
Added an updated set that includes basic optics relations (Snell's law, Brewster's angle, etc).
