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.

The line between "skills" and "competencies" gets blurry fast, and "learning how to learn" means different things depending on who you ask. We're putting together an Educast 3000 podcast episode on all of it, and your questions will shape the conversation. Curious how to teach students to learn independently, what the…
On the new "traditional" rubrics, the scroll bar is only at the bottom. This means on a very large rubric with a lot of ratings, I have to scroll all the way to the bottom to access the scroll bar in order to see all of my ratings and/or if I need to make a comment. This is cumbersome and time consuming. On the original…
When in Speed Grader, under the "Grade by question" option, the Next Student and Previous Student buttons no longer work.
Hi everyone, I’m working through a Sherpath/Evolve LTI 1.3 setup in Canvas and would appreciate some guidance from others who have configured grade passback. Sherpath’s guidance is that the point values need to be adjusted in the Sherpath link opened through the LTI so that the grades pass back to Canvas with the intended…
