Welcome to Free World U

Thank you for your interest in becoming a flashcard author or editor. Please read this entire page before proceeding.  The first thing to do is to register on the site by clicking here. If you do not receive a confirmation e-mail within 15 minutes, send us an e-mail with your name and registered e-mail address, and we will correct the problem. You should spend some time viewing some of our flashcards to get a sense of how the system works. We suggest you start with a sixth grade geometry lesson as a good demonstration of our technology.

The next step is to download and print our summary on flashcard writing by clicking here. Pay particular attention to flashcard format including the use of elliptical sentences, style, and punctuation rules. You will need to follow these guidelines when submitting your first set of 10 flashcards. More detailed information about writing flashcards can be gained by using the flashcard system itself by clicking hereThe portions of the site talked about in the training flashcards on the bulk editor and containers will not be available to you at this stage in the process.

When you feel confident that you understand the material, and are certain that you want to pursue flashcard writing, check the subject list for a subject that is not taken. Send us an e-mail with the subject you have chosen. In the body of your e-mail, write 10 flashcards on your subject of choice, as a measure of aptitude. Your sample flashcards need not contain graphics but they should follow the formats described in the flashcard writing summary.

If your sample cards are approved, you will be given author privileges on the site which will allow you access to the part of the flashcard training program on containers and the bulk editor. If for any reason at this point you do not have author privileges, please request them. You will write your flashcards in an online program.

Please do not use the feedback links to ask questions.  We cannot send a personalized response using the system. Send your questions to office@freeworldu.org.
