Quizlet⢠is a rather good flashcard based learning tools.
You can create your own set of flashcards or use the large library created by others and made public.
The flashcards allow you to learn subject terms in a number of ways, and test yourself or your students also in a number of ways, including quiz questions and a couple of game based tests.
I personally particularly enjoyed the scatter game, where you have to drag terms onto their definitions, or vice versa, against the clock. You can then repeat the game and try to beat your best time.
