 How to create flashcards. This video will demonstrate how to create flashcards. Flashcards are no cards with a question on one side and the answer on the other. They're a great way to quiz yourself when you're studying. To create flashcards, you will need something to write with and something to write on. You can make flashcards out of index cards or you can use a flashcard app or website. You can also use our flashcard template. On the front of the card write a question related to a course topic. Next, divide the back of the card in two. On the left side write a memory trigger or mnemonic device that will help you remember the answer in the future. On the right side, write the correct answer. If you are using the flashcard template, you can print each page on a different sheet of paper and glue them on to index cards. You can also print the flashcard template on the front and back of a page and use that for flashcards. Just make sure to set your printer to print on both sides and flip pages on short edge. Once you have your stack of flashcards prepared, use them to quiz yourself. Read the question and see if you can give the correct answer. Happy studying!
