Create a study set

Generate flashcards, notes or a cheat sheet from a PDF, image, document or YouTube link, or build a set by hand.

A study set is a list of terms and definitions plus anything generated from the same source: notes, a cheat sheet, a podcast. Sets always belong to a class, so the material and Cleva stay in context.

Generate from material

  1. Open Create and choose Study set.
  2. Pick the class the set belongs to.
  3. Add source material: a PDF, image or document, a YouTube link, or files already in the class library.
  4. Choose what to make: Flashcards, Notes (pick a depth of Overview, Detailed or Comprehensive and a tone of Academic or Conversational), a Cheat sheet, or a Podcast.
  5. Give it a title, description and tags, or accept the suggested ones.
  6. Generate. Terms stream in as they are written, and you can start studying before it finishes.

Build by hand

Choose Manual editor under More on the Create hub. Type or paste terms, add images, set the language for each side and drag to reorder. See Edit, import and print terms.

Batch import

Have a whole folder of lecture slides? Batch import on the Create hub takes several files at once and generates content for each. Progress shows in Library while it runs.

Other ways in

  • Ask Cleva to make a set from a topic and it creates a real set in the class. See What Cleva can do.
  • Turn course sync on with automatic sets and each topic gets a set that updates as files arrive.
  • Duplicate any set you can see, including public ones, to make your own editable copy.
