flashcard has always two sides. On the front side you see the task definition, for example a term, which should be translated. On the back side the answer is shown, for example the translation of the term. Several flashcards are summarized in a flashcard file.
Flashcards are designed (like file cards of paper) to memorize learning content by multiple repeating. AIn the overview (Learning content → Flashcards) you see all already created flashcards. If you click on the title you get to the appropriate Flashcard wizard. You can order the flashcards by external references. Via click on the symbol of the translation area you get into the translation management of the appropriate flashcard. Via click on the national flag you get into the preview of the user. Furthermore the owner of the flashcards is shown.
There are the mass processing functions Copy, Move, Delete, Change owner and Export for flashcards. More information about these functions you find under Flashcards: Mass processing functions.
The following functions are available via the context menu of the appropriate flashcard title.
