Flashcard training

1 What is flashcard training?

Flashcard training allows users to practise and test their knowledge of a term’s definition. The terms and definitions are drawn from the glossaries in ILIAS.

2 How do I create a flashcard exercise?

Note: First, a glossary must be available.

  1. Select the glossary in which you wish to use the flashcard training. 
  2. Click on the |Edit View| tab.
  3. Click on the |Settings| tab there.
  4. Under the “Display” section, you will find “Flashcards Training”. Tick the box next to it.
  5. Select the mode you wish to use for your study session: ‘Term vs. Definition’ or ‘Definition vs. Term’.
  6. Click [Save].

3 Start flashcard training

  1. In the glossary, in presentation view, click on the |Flashcards| tab.
  2. All terms are listed at the beginning in Section 1. 
  3. Select the subject you would like to practise. 
  4. Depending on the glossary mode selected, either the term is displayed and the definition is hidden, or vice versa.
  5. To check their answers, learners can display the hidden definition.
  6. When learners click on [I knew that], the flashcard moves one subject further along, from ‘Subject 1’ to ‘Subject 5’.
  7. If learners click on [I didn’t know], the flashcards are moved back to the start folder.
