How to use the Flashcard Generator.
Flashcards work best when each tests one retrievable idea. Keep answers concise and include the source context needed to avoid ambiguous questions.
Make the workflow fit your task.
Split the notes into concepts that can be recalled independently, then write a clear question and a concise answer for each. Keep enough source context to resolve ambiguous terms and test the cards without looking at the back.

Illustrative input and output · a teaching example, not a live WebAct run
Example input
Create atomic flashcards from Class notes, section 2: 2/4 equals 1/2; with equal denominators, the larger numerator gives the larger fraction; 1/5 + 2/5 = 3/5. Include a source field.
Completed example
Card 1 Front: What simplified fraction equals 2/4? Back: 1/2. Source: Class notes, section 2. Card 2 Front: Which is larger, 3/7 or 2/7? Back: 3/7; the denominators match and 3 is the larger numerator. Source: Class notes, section 2; application of the supplied rule. Card 3 Front: What is 1/5 + 2/5? Back: 3/5. Source: Class notes, section 2.

Decisions and troubleshooting.
Should one flashcard test several related facts?
Separate facts when they can be recalled independently. A large answer makes it harder to tell which part you actually remembered.
Why do generated cards feel easy without testing understanding?
Replace recognition cues with questions that require retrieval or application. Try answering before revealing the result and revise ambiguous cards.
Try it with your own source.
Replace the example with your material in the task prompt. Keep the requirements you need, then copy the task into WebAct.
