Quizlet Help Sheet
Quizlet is a free website providing learning
tools for students, including flashcards,
study and game modes. All of the material
is user­generated.
Creating an Account
Creating an account on Quizlet is relatively simple, but it is not always necessary. One can click
“Create a Set” on the top bar of the screen to make a set of terms to study. The set will be
searchable on Quizlet, or you could save the weblink of the card set to get back to it it later.
However, the advantage of having your own account is that you can find all of the card sets you
have created easily.
To create a free account, simply click on “Sign Up” in the upper right hand bar on the website.
You will need to enter your birthdate, a username, and a password. You will also need to check
the box that says that you agree to the terms of service. Once you have an account created,
you can simply click on “Log In” in the upper righthand corner of the site to enter your username
and password.
Creating a Set of Vocabulary Terms
Simply click “Create a Set” on the top bar of the website. You will be prompted to enter a title
and description for your set of terms. Select a language for terms and definitions (these may be
different if you are a world language teacher).
Quizlet has a new time­saving “auto­define” feature. When you enter a word, Quizlet will
offer you some suggestions for definitions. You may choose to select one of the auto­define
selections or enter your own definition.
To add words to your list, simply click the “+” at the bottom of the text boxes.
Using the Vocabulary Sets
Students can retrieve terms easily if you place a link to your set on your teacher website or other
webpage. Once they have found the set, they can study using (1) Flashcards, (2) Learn, (3)
Speller, (4) Test, (5) Scatter or (6) Space Race.
Create a Class
Another option is to create a class. Click “Join or Create a Class” in the lefthand column. Enter
the name of your class. Then you can enter the name of your school. You may add your card
sets into the class. Students can be invited into your class two ways. First, you can send
an invitation through the student e­mail. If you choose this method, students will need to be
able to access their school e­mail accounts. Second, you can post an invitation link. This link
can be embedded on your teacher website or another web page.
