Study a finished deck in flip, type and multiple-choice modes. Nothing you do is saved. Every example is a real activity in read-only mode, no account needed.Spanish 1: Everyday Verbs
Two decks, twenty-two cards — regular verbs and the irregular essentials.

One example for every activity type, with more on the way.
How Flash Cards work
Spaced repetition schedules each card based on how well a student knows it. After every review, ChimeEdu records the student’s response and adjusts the next review interval accordingly. A card the student answered confidently might not reappear for several days; one they struggled with comes back sooner. The shortest interval is a day, so a card a student gets wrong returns in a later session rather than again in the same one. Over time, this pattern drives cards from short-term recall into long-term memory — the same principle behind decades of learning science research.Difficult cards
Cards a student finds hard are scheduled for review sooner, giving them more chances to practice before the next lesson.
Mastered cards
Cards a student knows confidently are shown less often, so study time is spent where it’s most needed.
Study modes available to students
Students can switch freely between three study modes depending on how they want to practice. You don’t need to configure anything — all three modes are available for every deck you publish.Flip mode
Students see the term and flip the card to reveal the definition. Quick, low-friction recall practice.
Type the answer
Students type the definition before the card flips. Ideal for spelling practice and precise vocabulary recall.
Multiple choice
Students choose the correct definition from a set of options. Great for guided review and building confidence.
Creating a Flash Card deck
1
Open New Activity
From your classroom dashboard, click New Activity and select Flash Cards from the activity type list.
2
Add your cards
Add a deck first, then click Add Card for each item in it. Every card has a Front Content field and a Back Content field. Add as many cards as your deck requires. To build a large deck quickly, you can also add many cards at once — see Import cards from a CSV below.
3
Add images (optional)
On any card, click the image icon to attach a photo or illustration. Images appear on the front or back of the card depending on where you add them.
4
Apply rich text formatting
Use the formatting toolbar to add bold or italic text to any card. Subscript and superscript aren’t available, so write scientific and mathematical notation in a form that reads clearly without them.
5
Save the activity
You choose the classroom from a dropdown when you first create the activity, and there is no separate publish step — the deck is available to that classroom as soon as it exists. Everything you add afterwards is live as you save it, so build the deck before sharing the classroom if you would rather students saw it finished.
Import cards from a CSV
Building a large deck one card at a time is slow — especially if your terms already live in a spreadsheet or another study tool. Instead, you can add a whole batch of cards at once by importing a CSV file or pasting rows directly. This is the fastest way to move an existing set — for example, a deck you built in Quizlet — onto ChimeEdu. Each row becomes one card: the first column is the card front (the term), and the second column is the back (the definition).1
Open the deck's cards
In the flash card editor, expand the deck you want to add to. Next to Add Card you’ll see an Import CSV button.
2
Upload a file or paste your rows
Click Import CSV, then either choose a
.csv, .tsv, or .txt file, or switch to the Paste tab and paste your rows straight from a spreadsheet or another study tool.3
Check the preview
ChimeEdu shows exactly what it will create — a table of every card’s front and back, plus a count. If your file starts with a header row like “Term, Definition”, tick First row is a header to skip it. Rows missing a term or a definition are skipped automatically and flagged.
4
Import
Click Import, and the cards are added to the deck — ready to edit like any other card.
Imported cards are created as plain text. Add images or bold and italic formatting afterward from each card’s editor. You can import up to 1,000 cards at a time — split larger sets across more than one file.
Progress tracking
Students always know where they stand with a deck. ChimeEdu automatically categorizes every card into one of three states, updated in real time as students study:
Progress saves automatically and syncs across devices. A student who studies ten cards on their phone can continue from where they left off on a laptop without any manual sync step.
Classroom sharing
When you publish a Flash Card deck to a classroom, it appears instantly in the activity list for every enrolled student. You don’t need to share a link or send a message — students just open ChimeEdu and the deck is waiting for them. Any updates you make to the deck after publishing are reflected immediately.Creating and publishing Flash Card decks requires a teacher account. Students need a ChimeEdu account to have their progress saved and synced across devices. Students without accounts can still view a deck but their progress will not be recorded.
