Backpack.
Adding a New Class
If you do not see your

Create Flashcards
From your
Backpack,
choose
“Make
Flashcards”.
You will be
taken to the
new deck
page where
you can begin
creating
flashcards
from scratch.
If you would
like to import a
2-column
spreadsheet to
create a
flashcard deck
automatically,
go to the new
deck page and
click on
“Import”.
Once you click
“Import”, a pop-up
will appear.
Be sure to either
drag/drop a file or
upload a spreadsheet
that is only two
columns wide. Place
“Terms” is on column
and “Definitions” in
the adjacent column.
From your Backpack,
choose “Upload
Files”.
This will take you to
the Upload Study
Materials page.
From the drop-down
menu of your
uploaded document,
select “Retype as
Flashcards”.
You can search for terms in the white search box in the upper right
hand corner. This will bring up every flashcard, deck, person, or
material that has your search word.
When you find a card you would like to use, click ‘Start a
Deck…” This will take you to the new deck screen where
you can add your own cards from scratch or add more
cards from search.

appear on the right-hand side. The column will generate previously
created cards that best match what you are typing. You can click on
any of them to insert a result into your deck.
Flashcard Study Filters
Flashcard Overview Page
From your
Backpack,
choose a
flashcard deck
you would like to
study.
You will be taken
to the deck view
page where you
can preview
flashcards and
customize a
study session.
Study Session Customization
How would you like
to study your
flashcards? On the
right hand side of the
deck view page, you
will find options to
study your flashcards
by flipping cards,
taking a quiz or using
a review sheet.
Customize the filter
options by selecting
the number of cards
you want to study
from that deck and
the order you want to
study them in.
Narrow Down
Your Deck
You can choose how many cards you want
to study to keep your memory fresh and the
load lighter. Choose 20, 10, 5 or All cards.
Sort Order Options
Choose an order to sort
through flashcards until
you get them all
mastered. Choose to flip
them in order, at
random, from hardest
to easiest, least
studied or just the
wrongs.
Sorting Hardest to Easiest
“Hardest to Easiest” orders your
cards from ones you get wrong the
most to those you get right the
most. This is useful when trying to
focus on both cards you’ve gotten
wrong most recently and cards
you've gotten wrong in the past.
Choose the 10 cards option, paired
with the "Hardest to Easiest" and
continue until mastery.
Sorting Least Studied
“Least Studied” orders your
cards from ones you have
studied least to those
you’ve studied most. This
comes in handy on larger
decks when paired with
20, 10, or 5 card options
so you can go through
your whole deck in smaller
chunks.
Sorting Wrongs
The “Wrongs” option pulls
flashcards that were
marked wrong in the most
recent study session of a
deck.
“Wrongs” is always an
option once a deck has
been studied and cards
have been scored.
Ending a Study Session
A flashcard deck can be studied and left at any
point by choosing "Finish studying.” A score
will still be given for whatever cards have been
marked right or wrong based on how many
cards were tackled.
Sort On-the-Go
Select the
number of
cards you’d
like to study
Choose the
sort order
you’d prefer.
Mix, match, customize; you can choose any
number of flashcards with any order that
you want.
