Example Industrial Revolution flashcards

What did the spinning jenny allow one worker to do?Spin several threads at once on multiple spindles. This raised cloth output without adding workers.

What was the key improvement James Watt made to the steam engine?A separate condenser, which kept the cylinder hot and saved fuel. This made steam power practical for mines and factories.

Why did many people move to cities during the Industrial Revolution?Factories were concentrated in towns, drawing workers away from farms with wages. Crowded housing and poor sanitation often followed.

What did the Factory Act of 1833 do?It barred young children from working in most textile mills and limited hours for older ones. It also appointed inspectors to enforce the rules.

Which materials became central to railways and iron bridges?Iron, and later steel. Both were stronger than wood or stone, allowing longer spans and heavier loads.

Generate the full set

Reads your slides

Works with PPTX and PDF files, including bullet points, speaker-note text and photos of printed slides read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition built in

Cards resurface at the right time, so you spend less effort on what you already know and more on what you keep missing.

Export when you need it

Plus adds PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export, so your slide-based cards can move into the tools you already use.

How it works

Upload your deck

Drop in a PPTX or PDF from class, or add notes and images if your slides are mostly pictures.

Review the generated cards

Check the front and back of each card, edit anything that reads oddly, and remove cards you do not need.

Study on a schedule

Start a spaced repetition session in your browser and let the schedule decide which cards come back and when.

Slides are compact but often skip the reasoning behind a claim. Reviewing generated cards lets you add the missing context, and spaced repetition keeps the material fresh until the test.

Frequently asked questions

What makes a good flashcard from a lecture slide?

A good card asks about one fact, such as a cause, date or definition, and the answer should fit on the back in a sentence or two. Avoid cards that copy a whole bullet list.

How many flashcards should I make for the Industrial Revolution?

Aim for one card per distinct idea, such as a key invention, a social effect or a law, rather than a set number. Around 30 to 50 focused cards usually cover a unit without becoming hard to review.

Can I export slide flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Anki export is a paid feature included with Plus at $99.90/year or $9.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.

Is there a free plan for turning slides into flashcards?

Yes, the free plan includes 3 generations per month and browser study, and you do not need a credit card to start. Students with a school email get 40% off paid plans.
