Adding a flashcard mode to kalzium would be a great aide in learning the period table. perhaps a dialog would display the symbol and the user had to fill in the weight and the full name of the element, etc. This is just a small wish. thanks for your work.

In our TODO we have these entries:

* Add lesson-mode? The idea is that a teacher could create xml-files
  which can somehow be used as lessons. Perhaps something like
  "find out how many element boild at 200 Degree Celsius and above.
  With that information: Why is it so?"

* Multiplechoicetests with autogenerated questions:·
·   * "What element does the symbol Br represent?"
·   * "What is the symbol for gold?"
·   * "Which element (show two or more) has a greater mass?"
  These questions can be autogenerated because the answers are
  already in the database

I will not make such a quiz in Kalzium, but my idea is to provide an idea based on Kalzium database which offers those questions + answers... That lib could be used by Parley. 

@Parley developers: Is this realistic? Do you see other/better ways?

This should be easily possible.
The question is where to implement it. Sounds like a nice junior job too :)
How about an export to vocabulary file action in Kalzium?
Using libkdeedu/keduvocdocument is easy, I'd be willing to mentor that half of the job.
