FAQ: How do I share my flashcards?

Sunday, March 15th, 2009

To share your flashcards with others, you must change your set’s availability. To do so, click “Edit” on the set page. You can choose to make your set available to “Everyone,” “Just Me,” or “Only Certain People.” If you’d like to allow your classmates to edit your sets, change the Editors option from “Just Me” to “Only Certain People.”

FAQ: How do I join or create a group?

Saturday, March 14th, 2009

Groups allow you to study with your friends and classmates, discuss answers, and share flash card sets.

You can join most existing groups by simply clicking join from the group’s page. To join a private group, you must either apply or get a password from the group’s creator or manager.

If you’re looking for a specific group (e.g. your class section), ask the group creator to send you a link. Otherwise, type the name of the group or the user who created it into the search box.  Groups will show up in the right hand side of the search results page.

To create your own group, click the “My Groups” link at the top of the page, then select “Create a new group.”

First, give your group a name and type a brief description for other users to see. Next, you need to decide who you want to join your group. You can make your group accessible to anybody, only users with a password (which you assign), or only users who you and other group managers approve.

Once you have selected your accessibility options, you can disable live discussion or prevent users from adding sets to the group by checking the boxes at the bottom of the page. When you are done, select “Create Group” and you will be redirected to the group’s main page.

FAQ: Why was our group or group discussion deleted?

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

Groups on Quizlet are for studying, not socializing. Your group may have been deleted by Quizlet support because it had inappropriate content or was not education-related. Please try to keep your use of Quizlet study-oriented.

FAQ: Why is there a maximum number of groups I can join?

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

We implemented this rule to prevent people from creating an unlimited number of non-studying-related groups. Remember that Quizlet groups are for studying, not just chatting. For your classes you should not need more than the maximum. If you have a legitimate need for more, please send us some feedback.
