iFlashcards

The iFlashcards site and Android app were invaluable to me during my medical terminology course.

The site may not be the most visually appealing, but this little app is a 'can't live without' tool in my book.

You can create a set of cards for free, but if you want to make them private, you will need to create an account - which is also free.

Basically, you simply create a front and back for your cards and then you save the set (they can be edited at a later date if desired).

The cards can be used for vocabulary testing, which is what I used during them for during my med term course, but there are also options for creating multiple choice card sets as well as including images.

The neatest aspect of the application, however, is the ability to login to your cards via the iFlashcards app. Once you access the card sets via your smartphone, you 'flip' them by tapping the screen. If you answered correctly, you press the 'O' and if you missed, you press the 'X'. After you have worked your way thru the entire card set, you are presented with your stats, letting you know your percentage.

This is a super way to get a little extra studying in while waiting in line, when you have a few minutes to kill, etc.

I highly recommend this app for the HIM students among us.
