Flashcards

Flashcards is an H5P content type that allows teachers to create a single flash card or a set of flashcards that have both questions and answers. Students are required to fill in the text field and then check the correctness of their answer.

Below is an interactive example of the Flashcards content type.

In order to create a Flashcards content type:

1. Go to your content bank, click the Add button, and choose Flashcards. Doing so will redirect you to the Flashcards editor. Click the Enter Fullscreen button on the top-right of the editor to enable fullscreen editing.

Flashcards: Choosing Flashcards in the dropdown menu

2. Type the title you want to give to your new Flashcards content type in the Title field. This will be useful if you want to search for the content later.
