Join a Class When you select Join a class on the tab it will take you to this pop out box. On this box you will select your school, your class, and your professor. This will add the class to your backpack.
Add a Class Sometimes your class will not already be added. To add a class you go through almost the same steps as joining one, you just must put in your own class information.
Other Classmates in Your Backpack When you go into a new class under your backpack after you joined there may be other people in the class already. If this is true you are allowed to view their notecards or notes from this class because everything is shareable.
Backpack Brief Just so everyone is not loss about your backpack option. Once you join a class it will be added under the backpack tab in the tab bar. You can click through your backpack to look at your different classes.
Making Flashcards On the tab bar when you select the Make Cards option this screen will appear. This is where you will create your own set of flashcards.
Making Flashcards with image To add an image to your flashcard, a main feature on this tool, you click the add image tool on the bottom right of the top flashcard. From there you may choose a file or enter a url to upload an image.
Editing Flashcards If you select on your image it will let you adjust your photo or add text to it as well. This way you will have both visual and text to look at while studying.
Finish Flashcards Once you complete the flashcard you select the add card button and can continue to make more cards. Once you have finished the set you can name them and hit save and exit.
Flashcard Home Screen This is the home screen of your flashcards, although I only made one. You can now utilize the tools on the side to study for your test.
Study Options You can select to study from your flashcards by flipping them, taking a quiz, or just creating a review sheet. The options on the bottom let you decide if you want to study how many of them, in what order, and what side of the card you would like to appear first.
How the flashcards work When studying from the flashcards at the bottom it will show if you got the answer right or wrong. You can select this so that later you can relook at certain flashcards you got wrong. You may also print your results and look them over later if you need too.
Can use others flashcards too! Do not forget that in your classes you can use others flashcards also. This will help you make sure you are covering all the material.
Phone Use This is just a quick look of how the screen will look on a smart phone. It will still give you almost all the options available on the computer, except uploading notes.
Logout & The End I hope this tutorial will help you utilize this study technology in the best way possible. You can logout by selecting the bottom down arrow on the tab and selecting the log out option. Hope this helped!
