Upload a Document for Preloading Flashcards

You can preload flashcards by uploading a formatted document. The system supports the following file types: - .docx - .doc - .txt - .pdf

How to Structure Your Document

To ensure the app parses your document correctly, use the markers configured in the "Configure Parsing Setup" section. These markers specify how the system identifies and extracts flashcard components, such as questions, options, and correct answers.

By default, the following markers are used:

  1. Question:
  2. Identify questions in your document using the default marker Question or a custom marker defined in the "Configure Parsing Setup" section.

Example (Default Marker): 

Question
What is the definition of a service?

  1. Options:
  2. List possible answers using the default marker Options or a custom marker.
  3. Mark the correct answer(s) explicitly using Correct answer or another marker you’ve defined.

Example: 

Options:
The means by which an organization is directed and controlled
Correct answer
A means of enabling value co-creation by facilitating outcomes that customers want to achieve, without the customer having to manage specific costs and risks

  1. Explanation (Optional):
  2. Provide additional context or reasoning for the correct answer using the marker Overall explanation or a custom marker.

Example: 

Overall explanation
A service is a means of enabling value co-creation by facilitating outcomes that customers want to achieve, without the customer having to manage specific costs and risks.

  1. Domain (Optional):
  2. Categorize the flashcard by topic or section using the marker Domain or a custom marker.

Example: 

Domain
1.1.a
