Any source you already have

Spaced repetition
Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know move further apart.
Quizzes and mind maps too
Switch to multiple choice, true/false or short answer quizzes with explanations when flipping cards gets stale.
How it works
Upload your material
Drop in a PDF, slides, notes or an image.
Generate your cards
DeckOwl builds flashcards from the text it finds.
Practice on a schedule
Review each day and let spaced repetition set the next pass.
Most people make cards by hand, which takes time they would rather spend reviewing. Here the cards come from the lecture slides or chapter PDF you already have, so practice starts sooner.
Spaced repetition handles the scheduling. Cards you get wrong return within a session or two, while cards you know are pushed out to longer gaps.

Frequently asked questions
How many flashcards should I make for a renewable energy unit?
Keep each set to one lecture or chapter, and focus on definitions, how each source works and its main trade-offs. Add more cards only after you see which terms you keep missing.
How should I study renewable energy terms with flashcards?
Write the term on the front and a plain explanation on the back, then say the answer aloud before flipping. Mix in questions that ask why a technology suits certain locations, not just what it is called.
