Flashcards & Summary Card Elements

Last Updated August 30, 2026

Brief Overview

Use cards to give learners a lighter way to review and retain key ideas. Authors can add cards to any lesson in WalkMe Learning Arc, and learners move through the set in a horizontal, scrollable carousel at their own pace.

There are two card types. Flashcards have a front and a back: each card shows content on the front, like a term or prompt, and reveals related content on the back when a learner selects it, which suits glossary terms, definitions, or knowledge checks. Summary cards have a single face for reinforcing a key point or takeaway.

Use Cases

  • Reinforce the main takeaways at the end of a lesson
  • Give learners a quick way to check recall
  • Break key points into cards learners move through one at a time

Add Cards

Add the flashcard or summary card element from the elements panel, then build the deck card by card

Build the Deck

For each card:

  1. Type a Title

  1. Add an image (optional):

    1. Insert from Assets: Select an image from your learning assets
    2. Upload from Device: Choose a file from your computer
Note

Recommended aspect ratio: 4:3.

  1. Add the card text:

    1. Flashcards: Type the front text and the back text

    2. Summary cards: Type the summary text

Use the formatting toolbar to style the card's text:

  • Bold: Make the selected text bold

  • Italic: Italicize the selected text

Tip

Keep questions short and specific. Flashcards work best when each card tests one concept — avoid multi-part questions.
