CONCLUSION
• Positive attitude towards the tool Quizlet
• Apparently Austrian and Czech students have a different perspective on learning which is why
– Czech students • are more into text based learning
• appreciate cooperation and motivation
– Austrian students • are more into visualisation and gamification
• need learning to be challenging
