Turning notes into learning cards

From note content to finished flashcard: Choose your pages, add questions or answers, and save them to your card set.

The images show simplified examples of the surface. The instructions apply to the web and app.

1. Open a note and prepare its content

In the “Notes” menu, open an existing note or create a new one. Distribute your learning material to manageable note pages: From each selected page, a card is created later.

In the opened note, select “Create learning cards”. You need permission to create your own flashcard sets and a connection to the service.

Example of a note about France. Above is highlighted creating educational cards. — Open the conversion dialog with “Create flashcards”.

2. Choose the destination card set

Choose an existing card set that you are allowed to edit or create a new one. For a new set, give a name and the language. New sets are initially created privately.

Example of dialogue: New card set, name Geography – Europe and language German. — You can create a new set or add cards to an existing one.

3. Select the pages and complement the opposite side

Select the note pages to use. Empty pages cannot be selected. For each page, choose whether its content becomes the front or back of the card. Enter the content of the opposite side in the text field.

Example: Your note contains “Paris is the capital of France”. Take it as a back and write on the front “What is the capital of France?”

A selected note page is transferred to the back. As a front page, the question of the capital of France is supplemented. — Each selected note page becomes one card. Add the question or answer for the opposite side yourself.

Example: A drawing as a flashcard

A drawing can also be your learning material. For example, draw a flower in your note and label its parts. When taking over, select the back for the note contents and add as the front: “Name the parts of the flower.”

Example of an flashcard: back with a drawn flower and the captions petal, centre and stems. Front with the question: Name the parts of the flower. — The labeled drawing comes on the back, your question on the front.

In Stack learning, first answer the question, then reveal the drawing and compare your answer with the labels.

4. Save, check and study

Fill in the opposite page for all selected pages and save the cards with “Save Selected Learning Cards” at the bottom of the dialog. After that, the card set editor opens. Check the contents there and adjust the cards if necessary.

Your note is kept and receives a link to the card set. Converting it again adds more cards; it does not automatically update previously converted cards.

If everything fits, choose for example in the learning menu Stack learning or the Leitner system.

Your note will become your next card set.
