One thing I used to do with org-drill is learn names from photos, e.g. I would put an image of a student with the answer corresponding to their name. This doesn't seem possible with pamparam at the moment because the links to images get broken when the cards are copied into the directory. Do you (Oleh) know how difficult it would be to make that happen? One way to do it might be to fix the paths of any image links to point to the right place.
I have a new roster to learn, so if you can point me in the right direction, and it works, I would be happy to submit a pull request on it!
