Clearer for students, actionable for you
Product update — live March 2026
Teachers assign Flashcards so students can practice until ideas stick. The gap is often visibility: after a run, it’s hard to see which cards actually felt shaky, both for the student who just studied and for you when the whole class has turned something in.
That’s what this update improves. Students still mark each card as they go; what’s new is how clearly that turns into a finish-line summary for them, and how cleanly the same logic shows up in your tools. Your participants report view and the class card report now reflect what students did on each card, so you can plan reteaching without combing through every flip by hand.
What it is
Flashcards track self-paced practice, not a fixed multiple-choice key. While studying, students indicate whether they are still learning a card or already know it. When they finish:
- Cards sort into Correct and Incorrect for that run.
- Correct means they never marked that card as still learning during that session.
- Incorrect means they marked still learning at least once on that card in that session.
On your side:
- Participant report shows how each student did, card by card, with the same Correct / Incorrect idea.
- The card report gives a class-wide view per card: difficulty label, share of the group who got it “correct” by this definition, and a green and red bar so tough cards stand out.
How to use it
For students
- Open the Flashcards activity from the link you share.
- Work through the deck. For each card, choose still learning or I know
- Finish the set. On the completion screen, review Correct vs Incorrect groups so they know what to revisit.
For teachers
- Open your Flashcard file in Edcafe.
- Go to View Report → Participants to see per-student results and open a single attempt if you need detail.
- Open the card report (class view) to see, for each card:
- A difficulty label (e.g. Easy, Intermediate, Hard) derived from how the group did
- A percentage and count (e.g. how many got it correct out of how many participants)
- A green and red bar for a quick visual scan
Use the card report to decide whole-class review topics; use Responses to support individual check-ins or interventions.
Classroom use cases
Vocabulary before a unit test
Assign a deck on key terms. After submissions, use the card report to pull the three or four hardest cards into a short warm-up next class.
Different readiness levels
Skim Responses for students with many Incorrect cards and group them for a small reteach while others move on.
Homework that feeds the next lesson
Students see their own Incorrect list at the end of a run; you align your opener to the cards the class report flags as weak.
Spiraling content
Reuse an older deck mid-year. Compare card difficulty over time to see whether certain ideas need to come back in a new format.
Parent or coach conversations
Show a single student’s Responses view as a concrete record of what they self-rated during practice, not just “they finished.”
Department or PLC planning
Share the card report screenshot in team meetings to agree on which standards need another pass across sections.
FAQs
What does “Correct” mean on a Flashcard?
For that finished run, the student never marked that card as still learning. It reflects how they rated their own recall during practice.
What does “Incorrect” mean?
They marked still learning on that card at least once during that run. It does not necessarily mean they missed a factual answer on a later flip; it means they asked for more practice on that card at some point.
If a student marks still learning once, then “known” later on the same card, what shows up?
The card still counts as Incorrect for that run if they ever marked still learning on it. The summary is based on the whole session, not only the last tap.
Where do I see one student’s detail?
In he participants report, open the student or attempt you care about. You’ll see the same Correct / Incorrect logic per card.
Where do I see how the whole class did on each card?
Use the card report. You’ll see difficulty, percentage correct, participant counts, and the green/red bar per card.
Do students see the same Correct/Incorrect labels I see?
Yes. The completion screen groups cards using the same rules as your reports for that attempt.
Is this the same as a quiz score?
No. Flashcards are for self-paced practice. The labels summarize self-ratings during study, not auto-graded right/wrong answers unless your activity type is different.
Can I use this for a grade?
You can use it to inform grades if your policy fits self-reported practice data. Many teachers use it for feedback and planning rather than high-stakes scoring.
What if only a few students have completed the deck?
Percentages and counts in the card report reflect who has data for that card. Small sample sizes can swing the difficulty label; use judgment with very few responses.
Will old Flashcards runs look the same?
Existing data should display in the updated views. If something looks off for an old attempt, use your usual support channel.
Does this change how I create or edit Flashcards?
No. Creation and editing are unchanged; this is about how progress is summarized after students study.
Try it
Open a Flashcard set you already use, share it as you usually would, and after a few completions check the participants report and the card report. You should see the new summaries without changing your assignment flow.
