​Flashcards

Quizlet

• Quizlet is an online app that lets you build and share flashcards.

• Defining terms at the start of a module allows your students to engage with the rest of the content with more confidence.

• Quizlet allows your students to have some autonomy in how they choose to engage with the terms/definitions.​
