Use Case

Educators provide revision material for self-study that can be used without any reformatting. The educator specifies the subject area and target group and receives 20 flashcards in a format that works directly in the free knowledge management tool Logseq (question introduced by #card, answer on the following line). Note: Check every card before passing it on. The format can be adapted for other flashcard tools.

Example Prompt

Please create a set of 20 flashcard templates on the topic of “Systems theory according to Luhmann.”

The flashcards are for a seminar for first-semester students in the social sciences at the University of Hamburg.

Each question should start with #card.
Write the answer on a new line directly under the question.

Example format:
- #card What is red?
    - A ball.
- #card What does AIDA stand for?
    - Attention, Interest, Desire, Action
