We Should Be Able to Split Up Flashcard Decks
Official

Hi all,
This suggestion appears to have gathered a lot of support (especially in terms of "Met Too's/Likes") and because of that we wanted to follow-up with a couple questions.
-In what way would splitting up cards be useful?
-Would it be helpful primarily for situations where your deck has grown larger than expected?
-Would it be helpful as a filter option when studying where you could choose to study cards 30-40, 15-50, etc.?
-Please provide any examples you may have where this feature would come in handy.
Any additional feedback with regards to these questions and anything else you might want to add would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Katie

4I agree with Karmran but I wanted to add a little more weight to the subject. When I'm studying for a test using physical flash cards, I don't pick up the whole pile and go. I usually just pick up 5 or 6, do them until I feel confident I know those, then proceed to another pile, and finally collaborate the entire deck and find the ones that I need most help with. The system on the website now works kinda like it, but when I've put the cards in for the first time, I end up going through the whole list saying, "no I don't know this perfectly", to the whole deck for 3 or 4 rotations. I know if I was able to split up the deck, I probably would use nothing but this site for memorization.

1Hi Karmran, thanks for the feedback. We are in the process of revamping the flashcards a bit and will take this into consideration. Thanks again for the idea. JennyComment -

Thanks for weighing in Tom. It's a good idea and something that we are considering. It was also brought up under this thread. http://help.studyblue.com/studyblue/t... another idea that was similar involved having a check box system when in edit mode so that you can make different decks on the fly. Which sounds similar to what you are saying and an idea I liked a lot. I will keep you posted on updates. Jenny

Hi. i'm new to Study Blue and i've already encountered the problem with splitting decks (i.e. wishing i had subdivided my material). It's been 11 months since these postings and i'm just wondering has any progress been made in this area? Thanks.

Totally agree. I have over 100 flashcards and I wish there was a way to "put to the side" the ones I already know well. I do not want to delete them incase I need them again.

I wish I could just tick off the flashcards I would like to review again without having to go thru' all 100 of them.
Once I have learnt a flashcard and know it well, I should be able to hide it or uncheck it so it does not show up for the tests and when I am learning the new cards.

Ability to hide flashcards already learnt.-
I usually only hit the green button when I am sure that I know the flashcard. That way as I study I dwindle the set down to smaller and smaller numbers. I think that's a helpful way to use StudyBlue's existing features.
Of course, being able to permantly split the decks is important to me. Sometimes I go on a flashcard making spree and end up with a set of 100 in random topics, which is not that helpful of a study tool. -

We need to have a tool to separate our large decks into smaller ones from the beginning. I have a large deck of 175 questions. After I finish the deck to go back over them again, I don't remember the first questions I missed. Very confusing.

being able to change the order of your flashcards or allocate them to different groups of flashcards would be tremendously helpful.

I have created a long list of flash cards. I am considering the idea of dividing the list into smaller lists so that studying and reviewing would be more convenient.

Select the amount of flash cards you want to use and which ones you want to use

Although I love the systme already in place, I find it frustrating that while you can merge sets of flashcards you can't split them. Or am I missing something?!

Splitting a set of flashcards.-
Miguel,
I merged your question into this thread because it is similar. There is not a way to split up decks currently, but it is something we are looking at making available in the future.
Thanks for the post and we will make an announcement when something becomes available.

Just have to chime in that I agree, as Netish Mehta said, I sometimes go on a flashcard spree for my vocabulary words then end up with 100+ cards, only to realize I should have separated them into subject groups first. I really appreciate you guys being open to your public's opinion. It's extremely helpful. -

MAD AS HELL... not
For each new note, or "stack" of flashcards, it would be very helpful if there was a feature that enabled us to move individual flashcards from one stack to another.
For example, let's I made one stack of flashcards with 100 flashcards, and another with only 25. I want to add a few from the larger note to the smaller note. It would be extremely convenient if one could find a button next to each flashcard that allowed the editor to move that flashcard into another stack of cards.

It would be useful to have a way to be able to select certain flash cards from the deck to study rather than having to run through the entire deck. Something like a check box on each card to include it in the study/quizing session.

Selectable Flashcards - Check Box.-
or four check boxes, so you could create four piles of cards from one deck. With check boxes you can have important cards come up in multiple decks!

I would also like to be able to study 10 or 20 cards at a time. It’s become difficult to do recently.

Hi Peter, there is another thread about this here that you may want to look at: http://help.studyblue.com/studyblue/t.... We are trying to gather more information about how users are using the filter options. In addition, there are some comments for how the "I'm done" functionality is meant to replace the need to studying 10 or 20 at a time. Please add any additional comments there so we can keep track of them all. Thank you for your input.

I've imported cards from other programs because I've been happy with StudyBlue, however some of the files were large (one is 1,000 cards) and yet I need to have a way to divide them up as opposed to individually importing them which would be a significant hassle. My greatest need would be dividing a large folder into subsets easily. Thanks.

Hi David,
Thank you for providing additional input regarding the ability to split up flashcard decks. When you are importing the flashcards from other programs, are they coming in through Excel spreadsheets I assume? Have you been dividing decks in Excel and then importing them to create flashcards automatically into StudyBlue?

I would also find this really useful! A checkbox that allows you to move flashcards into different categories after they have been made is also a great idea. For example, if I have different flashcards sets for each of the topics covered in one class, a I get closer to the final exam it would be great to pick the flashcards from each subset for that class that I think I will most need to study for the final. What got me to this page today is that I made a flashcard set for a given topic, with both information from a textbook chapter and a lecture. I've decided I'm low on time and should really focus on the info from lecture, but don't want to delete the 50 cards I made from the textbook- it would be nice to just split those in a separate deck that I can study later if I have time! All that being said- study blue is amazing and I appreciate everything it has done for me so far! :)
