Flashcards
The Flashcards content type shows the student a set of cards, each combining an image with a question or hint, and asks them to type the correct answer. The AI generates every card — image, question, and answer — from the teacher's prompt.
AI-generated configuration
| Setting | Description | Possible values | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of cards | How many cards the set contains. | The exact number requested; there is no documented hard cap, so high counts (e.g. 12 or 25) are generated in full, without trimming | 3 to 8 cards when no exact count is requested |
| Randomize cards | Whether the cards are shown in random order. | Enabled / disabled | Disabled |
| Case sensitive | Whether the typed answer must match the exact letter casing. | Enabled / disabled | Disabled |
Generated content
Each card contains:
- A mandatory generated image illustrating the concept — a card without an image is not valid.
- A question or textual hint, which can complement the image (for example, a hint about the characteristics of the concept shown).
- A typed answer: the exact term the student must write.
When a syllabus or source document is uploaded, the concepts, questions, and answers are drawn strictly from it, with terms traceable to the document and no invented material.
Rules and behavior
- Images are indispensable for this type: every card gets a generated image even when the "Generate images" toggle is off. This is by design, not a failure.
- If any image fails to generate, the generation is retried — a card is never delivered without its image.
- When the teacher asks for an exact number of cards, that exact number is produced; without an exact request, the set holds between 3 and 8 cards.
- Typed answers are accepted without distinguishing uppercase from lowercase, since case sensitivity is disabled by default.
Example prompts
Without syllabus
A basic vocabulary set where each card shows a fruit and the student types its French name, with 3 to 8 cards by default:
I need some H5P flashcards for the basic French course with fruit vocabulary: the card shows the fruit and asks how to say it in French, and the student types the word: pomme, poire, fraise, raisin and citron.
A road-safety set with exactly five cards, one per named traffic sign:
Prepare some H5P flashcards on road safety education with exactly five cards of traffic signs: stop, yield, no overtaking, dangerous curve and pedestrian crossing. Each card shows the sign and the student must write its name.
With syllabus
A set of exactly five cards whose key terms come strictly from unit 2 of the uploaded document:
Prepare some H5P flashcards with exactly five cards on the key terms of unit 2 of the syllabus I uploaded. Each card shows the element and the student must write its name.
A high-count set of twenty-five cards covering every unit of the uploaded document, honored in full because the type has no documented cap:
Make me some H5P flashcards with twenty-five concepts taken from the complete document I uploaded, covering all its units: each card shows the concept and the student writes its name.
