New Study Mode Buttons

News · Posted by Sophia July 27, 2014

On Friday, we launched a redesign of the study mode buttons to make them more prominent and easier to find.

The titles easier to read and they're sectioned out into "Study" and "Play" to make it clearer that Scatter and Space Race are games.

Colors for the study modes

Each study mode now has its own color, which you'll also see highlighted when you're in that mode.

Improved responsive design

All the same study data is available in these new buttons but they use screen space better. As the screen gets smaller, the tools section goes underneath the modes in one line.

And then at phone-sized screens, the study modes stack on top of each other and the section labels drop off.

This means using the set page on any device will be a better experience.

Better set tools

It's also easier to add a set to a class or a folder (as well as finding the share and print buttons) since they're at the top of the page now:

New to Quizlet? Welcome!

If you're new to Quizlet, you'll be welcomed by a new friendly mascot -- the Quizlet astronaut -- to help you get your bearings.

Stay tuned for some more helpful astronauts to come elsewhere on Quizlet...

Hello Quizlet,

Thank you for the improvements.

I am trying to set up a test and I need a PRINT OUT version.
However the font size is so large that only 3 to 4 questions fit on a page.
Could you provide better instruction about how or where to format the test page.

Also, our school would like to contribute a Thai language test bank for the sciences in quizlet. Please provide any suggestion about how to get started with recordings.

Thank you, Deborah Cooper

Great job! :D thank you!

Nice job! One small request. In the old format (I'm a MacBook user, if that makes a difference), when you hovered the mouse over "add to folder" or "add to class" it would pull down a menu of current folders/classes. This was a great feature, as I could tell without clicking whether I'd already added it to a folder or still needed to do so. Could you add it back to the new format? Cheers!

I like the new layout. But where can I check those who studied my set?
July 28, 2014 ocwatkins STAFF

@tbird04 Can you write in to our Feedback Center (http://quizlet.com/feedback) about this? Thanks!
July 28, 2014 Bandmom76

Thanks, how can I send an email to class? The new items are great!
July 28, 2014 Maxseptillion77

I love this design, if they could only do this cool refreshing design to all of Quizlet, or maybe some kind of switch button from classic (the current) to the new (the design I'm suggesting)! :)
July 28, 2014 amalianc STAFF

@pts2030 -- you can see who has studied your set by clicking into the "Info" tab, which is right under the study mode buttons.
July 28, 2014 amalianc STAFF

@Bandmom76 -- If you add a set to your class, the members of your class will receive an email notification that this set has been added. If that doesn't answer your question, please write in to us at quizlet.com/feedback - thanks!

New design looks great! Thank you!

New design looks great but try generating a test to print. The size of the font is so huge that only 3 to 4 questions fit on a page. How can I change this or is it a bug? The problem is not browser specific.

Where is the button to "start over" in the speller mode? :(

It looks great with the design but the site would look more smooth and connected if the vocab words below and the rest of the site had the same layout.
July 29, 2014 imamormon12

That's awesome! It's nice to have something new once and a while. :) But I've been reading the comments above me and there seems to be a problem with it... ? Oh, well! It looks cool! :)

Hi guys!
Honestly I'm getting tired of those unnecessary changes. It just takes too much of both your time (that could be used to create new fabulous games for the benefit of all users) and users' time that they need to adjust to the layout changes. Please stop this and start creating new awesome game modes. Cheers!

I dislike the new buttons. They are very unprofessionally designed

Love the new design! One thing though: it'd be great if you could put the list of users who have studied your set back on the "homepage" of that set.

I have not been on Quizlet all summer!
So I decided to go on it.
I'm going to use Quizlet this school year because I liked it so much last year.

Love the new design

The new design is great. It would be nice to be able to see all of the student test scores when they check their answers. I'd love it if the program created a spreadsheet of the answers sortable by date, time, username.

Why not add the prefixes, roots/r/cf, & suffixes?
November 7, 2014 aguadilla_laboriken

Is there anywhere where we can ask a question and get the answer?
