Abstract

After the COVID-19 outbreak, the method of self-study using technological devices and the Internet truly took off. The creation of learning tools has helped people actively learn and review what they know. Quizlet has helped a lot of students reach their educational goals. The research aims to find out how students feel about utilizing Quizlet for independent study. Both quantitative and qualitative methods are used to find out how often students use Quizlet, how happy they are with the service, and what its benefits and drawbacks are for students. 159 students took part in the study, which processed data via questionnaires and semi-structured interviews. The results show that students use Quizlet for self-study usually for 2–3 hours per week. Also, the rating of student satisfaction is fairly favorable. The flashcard function attracts the greatest attention and delight because it efficiently aids pupils in topic review. While some students are dissatisfied with several elements like Match, as well as some typos and definition problems, as well as odd pronunciation, others favor Quizlet because of its efficiency and ease. It is predicted that students will favor Quizlet as a practical tool to organize prior knowledge and aid in long-term memory. Quizlet's developers can also add new features to make it a better learning tool.
