No join code? Turn your own notes into flashcards with AI
A class join code opens only the set your teacher made. DeckOwl builds flashcards, quizzes and mind maps from the files you already have.
Studying without a class join code
Students who search for a quizlet join code usually want the class material in front of them, and that material can be rebuilt from what you already have.

Frequently asked questions
Is DeckOwl the same as Quizlet?
No. DeckOwl is a separate AI study tool that builds flashcards, quizzes and mind maps from files you upload.
How many flashcards should I make for a cell biology unit?
Start with one card per key term and one per process, such as the steps of cellular respiration. Then add cards for anything you miss on review.
What is the best way to study cell biology flashcards?
Review new cards daily and let spaced repetition bring back the ones you forget. Say each answer out loud before you flip the card.
Can I export my flashcards?
Exports are a paid feature. Plus includes PDF, DOCX, Anki and CSV export for $39/year or $7.99/month, and free users can study in the browser.
