Flashcard Training 


The flashcard training is based on the flashcard principle by Sebastian Leitner.
The flashcard training in ILIAS consists of 5 subjects. The flashcards in the starting subject should be trained daily, those in the 2nd subject every 2 days, those in the 3rd subject every 4 days etc. A card that is remembered during a training moves one compartment further back, a difficult card remains in the same compartment and an unremembered card moves back into the starting compartment.
