Flashcard Learning System

The Flashcard Learning System in RoxWhy AI Notebook helps you create, organize, and study with digital flashcards generated from your conversations. This powerful tool leverages proven memory techniques like spaced repetition to help you efficiently memorias and retain information.

Key Features

AI-Generated Cards

The system automatically extracts key concepts, definitions, facts, and relationships from your conversations to create comprehensive flashcard sets. This saves you the time and effort of manually creating cards while ensuring important information is captured.

Multiple Card Types

The system supports various flashcard formats to suit different learning needs:

  • Basic Cards: Simple question/answer pairs
Coming......
  • Definition Cards: Term on front, definition on back
  • Fill-in-the-Blank: Sentences with key terms removed
  • True/False: Statements to verify
  • Multiple Choice: Questions with several possible answers
  • Image Association: Combine text with relevant images

Flashcard Sets

Cards are organised into sets based on topics or conversations. You can:
  • Create multiple sets for different subjects
  • Combine cards from different conversations into custom sets

Difficulty Levels

Each card can be assigned a difficulty level, either automatically by the AI or manually by you. This helps prioritise more challenging material during study sessions.

Study Mode

The interactive study mode includes:
  • Card flipping to reveal answers
  • Self-assessment of your recall accuracy
  • Spaced repetition scheduling based on your performance

Progress and Statistics

Track your learning with detailed statistics:
  • Overall mastery percentage for each set
  • Performance history for individual cards
  • Study session summaries
  • Spaced repetition schedules

How Content Generation Works

Generating content follows a similar process regardless of the type:

1. Select Source Material: Choose one or more conversations to use as the basis for your content. 2. Configure Options: Set parameters specific to the content type (e.g., flashcard types, difficulty levels, card organization). 3. Generate Content: The AI processes your conversations and creates the requested content type. 4. Review & Edit: Review the generated content and make any necessary edits or adjustments. 5. Save & Export: Save the content to your library and, depending on the content type, export it in various formats.

How to Study with Flashcards

The RoxWhy flashcard system is designed for effective studying using proven memory techniques:

Starting a Study Session

1. Select a flashcard set from your library 2. Choose a study mode: - Learn Mode: For new material - Review Mode: For previously studied cards

During the Study Session

1. For each card, try to recall the answer before flipping 2. After revealing the answer, rate your recall accuracy: - Correct: You recalled it perfectly - Incorrect: You struggled to remember

Spaced Repetition

The system uses spaced repetition to optimise your learning:

  • Cards you find difficult will appear more frequently
  • Cards you know well will appear less often but at increasing intervals
  • This approach maximizes memory retention while minimising study time

Study Statistics

After each session, review your performance:

  • Cards studied and mastery level achieved
  • Time spent studying
  • Progress compared to previous sessions
  • Recommendations for future study

Tips for Effective Flashcard Learning

Create Focused Sets

Smaller, more focused flashcard sets are generally more effective than large, broad ones. Consider creating separate sets for different subtopics.

Study Regularly

Short, frequent study sessions (15-20 minutes) are more effective than occasional marathon sessions. The spaced repetition system works best with regular use.

Combine with Other Learning Methods

Use flashcards alongside other learning tools like mind maps and podcasts. For example: 1. Generate a mind map to understand the overall structure of a topic 2. Create flashcards for specific facts and definitions 3. Use podcasts to review the material in a different format
