What it does

A Create Flashcards option now lives on the student dashboard. Your students can build a flashcard set from scratch, or upload a resource and turn it into a study deck on their own.

The pedagogy here isn't new — retrieval practice, spaced repetition, self-testing. What's new is that the work of making the deck now sits with your students, which is where most of the learning happens anyway.

How it works

Nothing changes on your end. Your students will see the option when they log in:

1. From the student dashboard, your students tap Create Flashcards

2. They can build a deck from scratch by adding terms and definitions

3. Or upload an existing resource — notes, a study guide, a PDF — and have it converted into a deck

4. The deck saves to their account for study and review

Note: Admins can turn off all 'Student creation' flows on the product (including Flashcards).

Example in action

Your 8th grade science class is two weeks out from a unit test on cell biology. Instead of you building a Quizlet-style review deck for them, you ask your students to each create a flashcard set covering the unit vocabulary. The act of writing the definitions in their own words is the studying. They show up to your review session with decks they actually understand — and you didn't spend Sunday night building the deck for them.
