Flashcards allow learners to review content efficiently and at their own pace. In addition to default sets offered within a course, learners can also create their own sets to further their learning.

 

The My Flashcards function allows learners to create their own flashcard sets, while the Community Flashcards function allows learners to subscribe to their peers' flashcard sets.

 

The My Flashcards and Community Flashcards functions can be turned on by BenchPrep only, so reach out if you need these settings turned ON or OFF.
