Why#

Repetition is the most effective form of learning. The cards are created from the course material without anyone having to write them.

How it works#

Click pathCourseToolbarFlashcards

  1. 1In the course, click “Flashcards” at the top.
  2. 2Choose the scope (“Up to here”, “Current module”, “All modules”), number of cards and difficulty (easy, medium, hard, mixed) and “Start card game” (Fig. 1).

  3. 3Before turning the card, state how confident you are; then turn it and choose “Knew it” or “Didn't know it” (Fig. 2).

Points, levels and calibration#

The cards are a card game: the harder the card, the more points. The points determine a level — from beginner via advanced and very good up to expert.

The calibration report compares how confident you were with how often you were right. Three results: “A little overconfident” (where you were sure, you were wrong more often), “You underestimate yourself” or “Well calibrated”. A statement needs a few cards.

To your phone#

“To your phone” shows a QR code: scanned with the phone, the card game continues there. The code is valid for 14 days; alternatively “Copy link”.
