How to flash

Launch flashcard and select flashsheet

To initiate the Flashcard program, select the Flashcards button located in the Flash panel within the sidebar. This will redirect you to a sheet selector interface, enabling you to choose the sheet that you wish to use for the Flashcard program at a later time.

Please ensure that the selected sheet includes headers that indicate the front and back sides of the Flashcard.

Flashcard word selection

Subsequently, the dialogue box will display the number of words identified from the selected sheet, along with the number of words that have previously been flashed. Within this section, you are afforded the opportunity to specify the quantity of words that you intend to flash during this session.

Flashcard with three-pile method

Upon completion of the selection process, the Flashcard will be presented within a flip card, allowing for interactivity via the use of a mouse. To begin, simply select any of the three buttons located below the flip card. It is important to note that the current version of the program utilizes the the three-pile method.

In brief, the three-pile method entails progressing through the entire stack of Flashcards, testing oneself as one proceeds. Flashcards that are answered correctly are subsequently sorted into the YES pile (Green button), while those that are answered incorrectly are sorted into the NO pile (Red button). Flashcards that elicit hesitancy or doubt are placed in the MAYBE pile (Amber button). In a subsequent stage, the non-YES Flashcards are reassessed until all the MAYBE/NO Flashcards have been successfully relocated to the YES pile.

For an in-depth analysis and additional background information on the three-pile method, readers are encouraged to refer to the following article.
