Recently, Dr. Linda Woolf shared an idea I was unfamiliar with, so I looked it up.Dr. Mitch Handelsman, "The Ethical Professor," wrote about the five-sided flashcard in a post for Psychology today.
The short version is that these are the five sides:
- term or concept
- definition
- example, picture, or story
- similarities to other terms or concepts
- differences from other terms or concepts
In short, this is a handy way to think about effortful processing or deep processing, depending on which term you prefer (unless I can be corrected). Try it out and see if it can help your students become better learners.

Love the Five Sided Flashcard! Here's a blog post I wrote and a sample of how I integrated technology with it. :)

Could you post a visual of this? I am having a hard time visualizing how it all fits.
