Quizlet

Quizlet (https://quizlet.com/) is a learning application for mobile or web-based use that was developed by Andrew Sutherland in 2005 and has been in public use since 2007. It is focused on learning based on flashcards, which can be used for tasks such as vocabulary learning, definitions or memory games. The integration of pictures and sounds is also possible. The level of difficulty can be adjusted. The mode "Gravity" is the most playful implementation - before a term sinking down reaches the ground, the appropriate answer has to be entered.

Conclusion

For certain learning contents the use of this app is well suited and motivating. Different modes offer learning variants that go beyond the usual paper index cards, which increases the students' motivation. Since the students individually fall back on the learning tasks, it is well suited for differentiated learning which is supported by direct feedback. Basically, the app is more suitable for solo learners.
