Flash Cards for the Web

You can upload your flash card set to the web and study your cards without needing the desktop Flash Card Presenter. When you select the Create Google gadget menu option or button your card set will be created as a Google gadget, which is a convenient web based gadget you can add to your iGoogle home page if you have one, or add to your own online library you can access from anywhere.

The gadget will appear like the below on the web page:



You can click anywhere on the card sides to flip the card or move to the next one.

Note that all colors, fonts and images are retained in the mobile version, however audio will not be available.

There are two modes to using the gadget, Learn mode and Test mode. Learn mode is the default flash card mode of presenting the question, you recall the answer, then flip the card to check if you are correct. Use this mode to initially learn the cards.

Test mode, as shown below, requires you to type the answer. Hit the Enter key and the gadget will check your answer. It will show green if you are right or red if wrong. This is the best way to solidify your knowledge of the cards. It's best to have simple answers for this mode, as opposed to two line answers for example, as shown in the above card set. Note a keyboard for non-Western characters is provided if necessary.



Selecting Options will show the screen below. Like the Presenter, these options provide a variety of ways to customise how the cards are presented.





Test mode (type answer) As described above.
Learn mode (click for answer) As described above.
Don't ask again Don't ask the current card again. Use this when you know the word too well and you don't need to see it again.
Ask all cards Undo the "Don't ask" setting for all cards.
Ask in original order Present the cards in the original order they were created in.
Ask in reverse order Present the cards in the reverse of the order they were created in.
Ask in random order Present the cards in a random order.
Normal Q/A sequence Present the A side of the card first, then the B.
Swap Q/A sequence Present the B side of the card first, then the A. This is so you can learn to know the cards "backwards", so to speak. Useful in language learning where you need to train your mind to translate in both directions.
Random swap Randomizes which side to display first.
View single side Fills the screen up with one side at a time.
View both sides Fits both card sides on the screen, the default behaviour.
Toggle Auto Run Allows the cards to be cycled through automatically after the specified millisecond delay.
