About Anemone and how the content is made

Anemone (Greek anemos, "wind": the way messages travel like the wind) is a free course system for university students. Its first course is Mass Communication Theories. Lessons are short cards with questions, exams, spaced review and progress that stays on your own device.

Who made it

Coded by Alperen Yavuz. Written by Alperen Yavuz. Alperen conceived and directs the project and is responsible for what is published.

How the content is made (AI-assisted, controlled and edited)

Everything on this site, the software and the text, was produced with AI assistance under Alperen Yavuz's direction (the AI model used is Anthropic's Claude). This is not a single request to a chatbot. It is a controlled, multi-step process prepared specially for this project:

  1. Research. For each lesson course syllabi and textbooks are compared, together with international textbooks and, above all, the original works and studies.
  2. Drafting. Lessons are drafted in the AI's own wording from those sources, following a written authoring guide (accuracy first, one idea per card, questions that make you think).
  3. Verification. Every citation is checked against an independent database (Crossref for articles, library and publisher records for books). A source that cannot be confirmed is not used. Biographies need at least two independent reference sources. Automated validators check that references resolve, prerequisites make sense, questions have exactly one correct answer, and that translations have the same structure as the original.
  4. Editing. Drafts are revised in further passes, and anything that could not be verified is listed and left out instead of guessed.

The wording is original. Text is not copied from books: facts, names, dates and ideas are used freely, always with the source named, and quotations are very short and attributed. Nothing here was written by copying a textbook.

What this is not

  • It is not reviewed by a university lecturer yet. Despite the checks above, mistakes are possible. If you find one, please tell us (see Contact).
  • It gives no guarantee about exam results.

Sources and the "last updated" date

Pages carry no long reference lists; the sources are kept, with their verification status, in the project's open repository. Each page shows when it was last updated. Lessons that are still being prepared are marked "Coming soon" and are not indexed by search engines.

Translations

Turkish is the source language. Other languages are translated by AI with the same structure checks and are labelled automatic translation until a native speaker has read them. Every page has a link to suggest a fix.

Accessibility

We aim for WCAG 2.2 level AA: no sound anywhere, full keyboard use, visible focus, screen-reader announcements for answers and level-ups, adjustable text size and spacing, a dyslexia-friendly option, reduced motion, high contrast, a colour-blind-friendly palette and a black-and-white paper mode for e-ink screens. Automatic audits and keyboard checks are part of every release. Testing with real screen readers by blind users has not been done yet; if you use one and something is hard, please tell us.
