Quizlet

Quizlet is an online tool that allows students to create online set of flashcards. It provides different methods for quizzing users on the flashcard sets they created, including tests and games. The software provides visual and audio ways to interact with the information in the sets of flashcards. Users also get access to other sets of flashcards created by other users. Quizlet is available online or via app.

The Quizlet website and app align with principles of Universal Design for Learning. Students can create sets of flashcards for vocabulary lists, spelling tests, and other study guide materials for tests and quizzes. Instead of regular flashcard studying, students can practice mastering the cards through various means such as multiple choice questions, fill-in-the-blank questions, and matching games. This promotes the UDL idea that students should be provided with options for expressing their understanding of content. It also provides students with an engaging experience by allowing them to participate in games while studying information.
