How to Use the Free World U Online Curriculum

Free World U is a free educational website based on the theory that breaking information down into the smallest possible units can significantly enhance and speed up learning. The organization’s founder, Dr. David A. Hall, has come to believe, through educational research, that the use of flashcards can make learning easy, fun and fast. He has created an online curriculum made up of over 37 thousand virtual flashcards, with the goal of making a quality education available free of charge to everyone. The website is user-friendly and easy enough for children to navigate, making it an ideal resource for homeschooling families as well as those who just want to boost their kids’ or their own knowledge base.

      Access the tutorial and FAQ by clicking on the "Students and Parents" link on the homepage.

    • 3

      Choose a grade level. There are flashcards for every grade, from preschool through pre-med. Your child can advance at his own pace using flashcards from different grade levels, depending upon his knowledge in each subject.

    • 4

      Choose a subject. There are several topics covered in depth: language arts, mathematics, social studies, science and even character development.

    • 5

      Begin your chosen flashcard set. Each flashcard is generously large and features a brightly colored illustration. As your child memorizes each piece of information, there are options to either keep the card in the rotation or remove it permanently once it has been mastered.

    • 6

      Play classical music while your child studies by clicking on the "Superlearning" link in the menu on the left of each flashcard. Research shows that listening to classical music may boost the brain’s ability to grasp and retain information, as well as improve test scores.

    • 7

      Track your child’s progress by clicking on the "Show Statistics" link on each flashcard. This allows you to view a page which shows how many flashcards have been attempted in each subject, as well as how many have been correct and incorrect.
