Flashcards

There are two ways you can create flashcards for your collections, either manually or using AI. You can use both methods in your collections, and you can use any educational materials to make your flashcards, such as:

  • Your own questions and answers
  • Your own true or false statements
  • Class notes or transcriptions
  • Materials given to you in your classes
  • Sections from textbooks or academic papers
