More on the Learning Benefits of Flashcards -
Howard Gardners multiple intelligence theory reminds us that there are many types of learners. Gardners research indicates that teachers should aim to appeal to all the different learner types at some point during the course. It is particularly important to appeal to visual learners, as a very high proportion of learners have this type of intelligence. Flash cards can be bright and colourful, and make a real impact on visual learners.

The top 3 reasons why flashcards are so effective are -
1. Flashcards engage “active recall”
2. Flashcards utilise your metacognitive faculties
3. Flashcards allow for confidence-based repetition

Keeping all these advantages of flashcard based learning in focus, our research group (which consisted of Teachers and Mobile application development experts) have come up with highly effective learning features like audio aid, select cards, random & sequential mode, slideshow and various quiz games, and we have incorporated them in a very user friendly way in the Flashem suite of applications.
