As stated recently, the best way to learn anything is . . .
Practice.
Practice.
Practice.
And one of the easiest and fastest ways to practice learning the basic facts and terminology of A&P is to use flash cards.
One great way of using flash cards is to use an online platform for making, studying, and sharing flash cards.
Study Blue is one of the more popular online flashcard tools.

Teachers can assemble sets of flashcards with Study Blue then share them with students. Of course, students can share with their classmates in study groups. For example, in your study group you may assign each person a set of flashcards to make based on your course material. By sharing each of these with the whole study group, everyone now has a whole library of flash cards based on the week's study topics.
