If you are reading this article, it is probably because you are preparing for a competition or an exam. When it comes to learning or revising, we all have our little tricks: copying a course to memorize it, working before going to bed, doing training sessions with a friend...
A pretty formidable method of preparing for exams is to use flashcards, a series of cards on which you write the questions and answers in order to effectively memorize the concepts to be learned or revised.
MemoStack will help you learn efficiently
If you are a “modern” student, you may be tired of paper flashcards. MemoStack is a free online tool that will allow you to create digital flashcards to display questions and answers!
To use it, you will need to register for free using your e-mail address and you will be able to start creating your own flashcards to kick-start your learning!
Your cards are organized by theme within "decks" and there is even an option to create language learning cards. On standard cards, you will be able to note a theme or a question accompanied by its answer and possibly additional notes. For vocabulary cards, you will insert the word as well as its definition or translation, all followed by an example.
Flashcards to learn or revise your lessons
Once your flashcards are ready (which will have already allowed you to start learning), you will be able to start revising in the form of quizzes. Choose the number of cards you want to revise and off you go.
The site will show you the question or vocabulary word and you will have to find the answer. When you are sure, you will be able to display the back of the sheet to check that you have answered correctly. If this is the case (and you are honest) you will be able to indicate that you have answered correctly. Thus, at the end of the quiz, you will be able to evaluate your knowledge.
MemoStack uses a spaced question repetition method to allow for more efficient learning. So, with this method, you will see the difficult cards more often and the easy ones less often… it's frustrating but devilishly effective!
Finally, what's super cool is that you will be able to follow the daily progress of your learning thanks to a system of categorizing the cards you have learned from "low" to "high".
MemoStack works just as well on a computer as on a Smartphone and offers a very simple and clear interface! In short, if you want to learn effectively, maybe it's time to try flashcards!
