Flashcards

Flashcards are decks of cards with a question on the front and the answer on the back. Open them from Quick tools in the header, or press Ctrl+Alt+F. The quickest deck comes from a module's key terms. Choose Study Flashcards under them, and a deck is made with one card per term and opened.

How to study a deck

1. 1.

   Choose the deck, then Study (N).

2. 2.

   Read the front, then click the card or press Space to turn it over.

   Choose Mark mastered for a card you know.

4. 4.

   Move on with the arrows or the arrow keys. Skip mastered leaves out the cards you know, and Shuffle mixes the order.

Rules and limits

• A deck from a module is named after the course and the module. Study Flashcards on the Course Curriculum tab makes one deck of every term in the course. A term without a definition gets no card.
• A deck made from key terms is yours from then on. Your changes do not touch the module, and a term the creator adds later is not added to your deck.
• Decks cannot be renamed. Delete one with the bin beside it.
• Anyone signed in who has the link can study a shared deck, but cannot change it. Deleting the deck stops the link working.
• Your decks are private unless you share them, and they are in your data export.

If something goes wrong

"The deck was not made. Try again."

Study Flashcards could not make the deck. Nothing was saved, so press it again.

"No cards found. Put each card on its own line, as front | back."

Each line needs a | between the front and the back.

"N imported. N lines were skipped…"

The lines without a | were left out. Add those cards by hand, or paste them again in the right form.

"The card was not saved. Try again."

What you typed is still in the form. Save it again.

"The link could not be copied. Your browser blocked it."

Your browser did not allow the copy. Allow clipboard access for acada.ac and choose the button again.
