Flashcards help you recall terms without looking at their definitions. Practice questions let you apply what you have learned and compare your reasoning with an answer. Both are study tools within your material. Open the file you want to study, then choose the activity below.

Review Flashcards

Select Flashcards in the study panel when it is available.
1

Try to Recall the Definition

Read the term and explain it to yourself before revealing the other side. If the Key Terms List is visible below the deck, select HIDE to put it away while you test yourself.

Continue Through the Deck

Use the arrows or swipe to move between cards. The counter shows your position in the deck. Select SHOW below the cards when you want to review the terms and definitions together.
While a flashcard is active, press Space to flip it. Use the Left and Right arrow keys to move through the deck.

Answer a Practice Question

Select Notes and find a section that includes questions.
1

Make Your Own Attempt

Read the question, then select the requested options or type your response. If a Hint is available, open it when you need a starting point.
2

Compare With the Answer

Open Answer to check your response. Selecting an option alone does not mark it correct or incorrect, so take a moment to compare the reasoning too.

Write your response first, then open Answer to compare it with the explanation.

3

Revisit or Move On

Select Hint or Answer again to hide it for another try. Use Next or Previous to move between questions in the section. If the answer is still unclear, ask about the topic in Chat.
Typed practice responses are temporary. Copy any response you want to keep before refreshing or leaving the page.

Distinguish Practice From Assessed Work

Questions inside Notes help you study; they do not award course points or submit an assessment. If your instructor assigned an assessment, open that assessment and start an attempt in its own workspace.
These tools must be included for the file and finish processing before you can use them. Ask your instructor about course materials. For personal material, select Flashcards or Notes and Questions when uploading.
