I have not seen an option to create flashcards natively in Canvas. The functionality may exist through code if your institution has opened up the ability to mess with some advanced features (many do not unlock those features). You are otherwise looking at 3rd-party tools.
If you go to your course Settings and find the Apps tab (if that is available for you), search for the word "flash" to find something called Flash Reference. This does add the ability to create flashcards for use, but I'm not sure it will interact with QLearn. I do not see an app for QLearn, which would make sense since QLearn appears to be another LMS like Canvas.
If you are needing something that works with QLearn, you will probably want to look through their documentation and resources to see if there is a flashcard tool that would work for their interface.
Hello @bschu107 ...
I don't know if your school has purchased the DesignPLUS add-on from Cidi Labs that integrates with Canvas, but they have a tool within their DesignPLUS Sidebar called "Flip Cards". Unfortunately, it does not integrate with any other product (such as QLearn) that I know of. It's more of an interactive thing for instructors to create in their courses for students. You can see what they look like by checking out this past newsletter: February 2025 Newsletter | Cidi Labs.
I know this might not be exactly what you are looking for, but when you mentioned "flash cards", this was the first thing that came to mind. I hope it helps in some way.
Hi @bschu107,
I do not have experience with it but I came across H5P Content Creation: Flashcards, and Importing into Canvas | Resources for Independent Learning Instructors from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in May 2019.
I also came across this Google Slides option described at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyOXF0gU6-k. After creating the Google Slide presentation, you could embed it into a Canvas page using the guidance from https://help.gcisd.net/hc/en-us/articles/4410773178643-Canvas-Embedding-Google-Slides.
I hope you find these options to be helpful.

With the new SpeedGrader UI, we are seeing student names appear in the page title even when the “Hide student names” setting is enabled. When using Classic Quizzes, there is no option within the quiz settings to enable anonymous grading, so we rely on instructors using the hide student names setting in SpeedGrader to…
Speedgrader chaning file name when being downloaded. Speedgrader: When downloading a submitted assignment, the file name is being changed to an unrecognizable name — (Student's actual name was part of the file name — changed for privacy.) Ideas???
We are all familiar with the standard Course Calendar, where assignment due dates are automatically added. However, at my institution, we structure our assignments as Challenges that develop over a period of time, rather than just a single deadline. Currently, the calendar only highlights the "end point." It would be a…
The current placement of the "Submit" button creates a "slip" in user behavior where habit-clicking "Next" leads to an accidental final submission. I think Canvas could easily fix this by: Moving the Submit button away from the navigation buttons (maybe above the question instead of below it) and/or Adding a "Confirm…
This is my first time using the new discussion "checkpoints". I'm hoping the multiple due dates are effective, but using the "checkpoints" does seem to create other problems: They only allow for ONE "reply to topic". The way I use discussions in some of my classes is to allow for students to ask MULTIPLE questions per…
