The material is automatically placed into relevant categories so that it is shared with everyone that inquires. Quizlet is used as a study tool. Information is posted in the form of flashcard. This allows the learner to attempt to figure out the answer to the question before clicking to flip the flashcard. Quizlet also allows the learner to take quizzes to help with the studying process.

Quizlet also provides tutorials to use their features. There are no obvious limitations to using this site. Quizlet supports Universal Design, accessibility, and Universal design for learning.  Quizlet does limit how many times you can upload into a single set.

Discuss the educational value Quizlet can be used for learning because it provides studying tools. Quizlet also provides assessment opportunities. From using this app one can learn many things that are posted by others. Ranging from tutorials, to educational material, to many other things.

It's very likely that the information will already be on quizlet. This allows the student to student alone but also in groups with other students studying the same exact material. With that being said Quizlet can be referred to as communities of practice.
