AI Tools for Students

Create Flashcards with AI

Flashcards are a great study tool if you need to memorize definitions, facts, or short pieces of information for a test. Using flashcards is an active learning technique that improves your recall ability, which is critical if you're sitting down to write both in-class and online exams.

AI-powered tools can take your class notes and generate flashcards tailored to your content, which means you can focus more on your study session and less on making the actual flashcards.

In this section, we'll spotlight one tool you can start using right now, and share a few options you could use to take your scheduling to the next level.

Note: You can only use your own class notes when uploading content into AI-powered tools.

Students need to have their professor's permission to upload or copy & paste course content from PowerPoint slides, handouts, or other materials into an AI tool or to a website.

Using AI Chat Bots and Quizlet for Flashcards

You can use AI chatbots like Microsoft Copilot or ChatGPT to create flashcard content and then upload the material to Quizlet to create customized flashcards for your next study session!

In the video above, the creator generated a series of vocabulary flashcards using a simple prompt—ChatGPT then created a list of keywords with a short definition of each concept that the creator can then upload to Quizlet to instantly create a flashcard deck to help her study.

You could also copy and paste some of your personal lecture notes from class into the AI chat bot and ask it to create a flashcard deck based on your course content.
