Why remote learners use Anki-style flashcards

Remote courses often hand you a week of recorded lectures, slide decks and reading PDFs with no instructor checking your recall, which is why Anki flashcards for remote learning can give that material a steady review routine.

Turn recorded lecture slides into cards on the same day you watch them.
Keep one deck per course so each subject stays separate.
Use the daily review queue instead of rereading slides the night before an exam.
Export to Anki on Plus if you want the same deck on your laptop and phone.

Example remote learning terms for flashcards

Synchronous learningLive instruction that happens at the same time for everyone, usually over video. Students can ask questions as the session runs.

Asynchronous learningCourse content you study on your own schedule, such as recorded lectures and posted readings, without a live session.

Learning management system (LMS)An online platform where a course posts materials, assignments and grades. Examples include Canvas, Moodle and Blackboard.

Spaced repetitionReviewing material at gradually longer intervals, timed so you review a card just before you are likely to forget it.

Active recallTrying to produce an answer from memory before checking it. It strengthens memory more than rereading the same notes.

Generate the full set

Built from your own material

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages. Each set of flashcards comes from the exact course material you were given.

Spaced repetition

Cards you miss come back sooner and cards you know come back later, so review time goes to the material you are actually forgetting.

Export when you need it

On Plus you can export to Anki, CSV, PDF or DOCX, so your remote study deck works on any device. The free plan stays in the browser.

How it works

Upload your course files

Add a lecture slide deck, a reading PDF, typed notes or a photo of a handwritten page.

Review the generated cards

Check the flashcards against the source, edit any that are unclear and remove the ones you do not need.

Study on a schedule

Work through the daily review queue, then export to Anki on Plus if you prefer that app.

Flashcards work best when you write the questions yourself, but that takes time you may not have. DeckOwl reads your course files and drafts question and answer cards, and you then correct and trim them before you study.

Spaced repetition does the scheduling. Each card returns at an interval that grows with each correct answer, which helps you keep material from early in the term while new lectures keep arriving.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make from one remote lecture?

Most lectures yield somewhere between 15 and 30 useful cards, depending on how dense the slides are. Aim for one fact or term per card so each review takes only a few seconds.

How often should I review flashcards when studying remotely?

Review a little every day rather than in long sessions once a week. Spaced repetition handles the timing, so your daily queue is usually short enough to finish in 15 to 20 minutes.

Can I export my DeckOwl flashcards to Anki?

Yes, but exports are a paid feature. Export to Anki is included on Plus, which costs $39 per year or $7.99 per month, and students get 40 percent off with a school email.

Is there a free plan for remote study?

The free plan includes 3 generations per month and lets you study flashcards in the browser, but it does not include exports. No credit card is needed to start.
