Creating a flash card set is fun and easy on Quizlet! Here are some key steps:

• To begin, click on the “Make Flashcards” link on the top of the page and you will be directed to a page that says “Create a New Flashcard Set.”
• Choose a title for your new set and a subject. Assigning your set a subject will group it with other sets in the same category – for example, Spanish or Biology.
• Decide whether you want to share your set with everyone or only certain people, or whether you would prefer to make it private. You can also choose who can edit the set – certain people or just yourself. By checking the “Allow Set Discussion” box, you are activating a chat box that will appear on your set page so other students can discuss your set.
• Now add terms and definitions. You can manually type them in. You can also use Quizlet’s ‘auto-define’ capability (which appears under your term as you type it in) to get suggestions for definitions based on others’ flashcards. To add more than five terms, click the plus button next to the last term you’ve entered and room for more terms will appear.
• Another option is to import entire vocabulary lists into your set at once. Click the “Import into this set” link, paste your complete vocabulary list into the data box, and click “Import.” All the terms and definitions will automatically be entered into your set.
• You can also use terms from someone else’s set. To do so, first click “Export” on that set’s page. Copy the terms, then select “Make Flashcards” at the top of your page. From there you can import all the terms at once by selecting “Import.”

When you are done entering terms, click the “Create Set” button and your set will be saved in your dashboard. Be careful not to double-click the button or you may receive an error message.

You can add images to your flash cards, either in place of a definition, or in addition to the definition, as a visual hint (see example: US Presidents).

Currently Quizlet only supports adding images from Flickr, although we plan to add an image upload feature in the future.

You can add Flickr images to your set simply by typing in a term and clicking “add image.” Quizlet will automatically pull in related images from Flickr, which you can scroll through until you find one you want to use. (We only show Flickr images available through the Creative Commons license).

Once you’ve found the image you like best, select “use this image,” and it will be added to the term’s definition. If you don’t like the images that your term pulls in, you can try searching Flickr using other keywords. Type them into the search box at the top of the image preview box and click “find images” – this will not change the term that appears on your flashcards.

When you create (or edit) your flash card set, assign it a subject in the “Subject” box next to the Title field. This “Subject” will become your tag, and all sets with similar tags will be automatically grouped into folders. To view all sets in a particular group, visit your Dashboard and click on a tag in the “Subjects” section. All relevant sets will fold out.

When you create a new set, there is a link on the top right corner that says “Show Symbols.” If you don’t see the symbols you want to use, click “Customize,” and you can create your own symbols and add them to your list.
