ProProfs.com (http://www.proprofs.com), the leader in free online learning resources, announces the launch of ProProfs Flashcards (http://www.proprofs.com/flashcards/), with one of the largest educational flashcard database of its kind. ProProfs Flashcards is a free, community-oriented service aimed at providing students and educators with ability to study, find and export flashcards by either selecting from exhaustive library covering a wide variety of subjects or by creating their own.

Part of the appeal of ProProfs Flashcards to students is the extensive collection of existing flashcards covering a variety of subjects ranging from chemistry to computer science. ProProfs Flashcards library is among the largest flashcard libraries on the web, offering over 1,000,000 (1 million) flash cards free of charge organized into over 10,000 sets. The extensive set was created by a combination of various methods ranging from user contributions (during a 5 month beta release), to flashcards created by subject matter experts and those acquired by direct purchase from other third party sources and then tagged and offered in a suitable form.

Flashcard sets can also be created and edited by users, meaning that instructors can create flashcard sets from which their students can study. Continued user submissions and updates ensure that the free ProProfs Flashcards library will continue to be accurate, up-to-date and one of the most extensive free library available. Students can vote, rank and comment on cards creating an educational social network. The personalized experience of ProProfs Flashcards allows students to create their own sets and personalize the user interface, which is user-customizable, down to font size and page colors.
