Gizmo gives you five different types of flashcards to choose from: Card text, Multiple choice, Matching, Ordering and True/False.
Card text ✍️
The default card type. You can add text, pictures or LaTeX to the front and back of a card, ready for quizzing.
Highlight a word or phrase on the back to set the answer Gizmo quizzes you on, see How does highlighting work? You can also turn on the Front and back toggle to make the card flippable, so the back only shows once you tap to reveal it.
Multiple choice ✅
This type gives you a question on the front, then Gizmo will automatically create a set of options to pick from on the back.
You can manually add options when editing the card. Use the Add option button to add wrong answers alongside it.
Matching 🔗
This type asks you to pair items up correctly, for example matching a technology to what it was used for. Gizmo mixes up your pairs so you can match them correctly during quizzing.
Ordering 🔢
This type asks you to arrange a set of items into the correct sequence, for example putting events in the order they happened. Gizmo shuffles your items so you can put them back in order during quizzing.
True/False ✔️
This type gives you a statement and asks whether it's true or false. Just write your statement on the front and state whether it's True or False on the back.
📝 Card text, Multiple choice and True/False can be written manually or generated with Magic Import. Matching and Ordering are currently only available through Magic Import. See What is Magic Import? for how that works.
Keep in mind which question styles you actually see during a quiz also depends on your quiz settings, see Can I change the questions I'm asked when quizzing?
