| What is Flashcard Machine? |
|
Definition
Flashcard Machine was created by Madhu Lundquist while pursuing his BFA in Multimedia Design at the University of Oregon. After discovering that all of the images for his art history class were available on a class web page, he started creating web-based flashcards. As he began building this application he realized the value in creating a set just once that he could then share with his classmates. Flashcard Machine was born. This was back in 2000. Today, Flashcard Machine is a growing community of hundreds of thousands of students, teachers and professionals around the world with a shared goal in mind, to succeed at their studies.
