Quizlet is, in essence, a flash card based revision tool; of which there are many. However, what I really like about Quizlet is how you can use your 'deck' in so many different ways to revise. You can also embed the applet into webpages, like below:
Try using the drop-down menu at the bottom right of the embed to switch to the 'Test' and 'Scatter' Study Modes.
As you can see, when embedded Quizlet decks can be used without the need for a login, but with a free account students can search and add other decks to their library, create their own card sets or even set up a Class to share decks and compete with each other to top the leaderboard in the 'Scatter' or 'Space Race' study modes.
There are many sets of terms and defintions already on QUizlet but creating your own is very easy too. Images can also be included if needed.
Embedding the Quizlet applet into a page on Moodle is very simple:
- Open the 'deck' on the Quizlet website
- Click on 'More...' in the tools section of the menu bar and select 'Embed'
- Select and copy the text in the box next to your preferred Study Mode
- Go to your Moodle course and click the 'Add and Activity or Resource' link
- Scroll down to and click 'Web Page'
- Click the small 'HTML' button on the window that opens and paste the copied text here
- Type a title and short description in the relevant areas then save your web page
If necessary I can create a short video showing the whole process - just email me to ask
