Flashcard

flashcard block

Encourage self-directed learning with interactive flashcards. Each card has a front and back side. Your audience flips the card to reveal the answer, then self-marks I got it right or I got it wrong.

Hints

You can add hints in the Hint field on the front of the flashcard. Your audience can choose to reveal the hint at any time. Hints give your audience a nudge in the right direction without giving away the answer on the back.

Quiz navigation with flashcards

Flashcards work differently from other quiz blocks: your audience flips each card and scores themselves.

  1. The front of the card shows first, with a Reveal Answer button. Your audience taps it – or taps the card – to flip to the answer.
  2. Once flipped, they self-mark: the button splits into I got it wrong and I got it right, and the option they choose is then shown.
    • I got it right adds the card's score.
    • I got it wrong leaves the score unchanged.
  3. They can tap the card again to flip it back. The Reveal Answer, I got it right, and I got it wrong labels are all customizable in the block options.

Audience percentages

When Display percentages is enabled, a flipped flashcard shows the share of your audience who marked it right versus wrong, beneath the answer – just like the audience stats on Order it or Tap and find.

  • Right – marked I got it right.
  • Wrong – flipped the card but didn't mark it right.

Remember user setting

  • OFF: Progress is lost on page reload. Your audience starts fresh each time.
  • ON (permission required): Your audience is asked for consent on the first flashcard or form. If they agree, progress is saved.
  • ON (permission not required): Progress is saved automatically. On page reload, your audience is taken to their next unanswered card.

Timer behavior

When a Riddle timer expires, the current right/wrong status is preserved. Your audience is redirected to the first block and can continue from there.

Please note: Forms that were automatically submitted during the quiz will not be re-submitted when navigating back, but they are displayed as answered and disabled.
