Why generate your own remote study cards

Remote classes tend to pile readings, slide decks and lecture notes into one folder, so the terms you need to memorize are hard to pull out. Quizlet-style flashcards for remote study work best when they come from your own course files rather than a generic set someone else wrote.

Generate cards from the slides and readings your instructor actually posted.
Review in short daily sessions that fit a home schedule.
Edit or add cards before your first study session.
Export to Anki on Plus if you already keep decks there.

Example remote learning study cards

What is spaced repetition?Reviewing cards at growing intervals, so you see an answer again just before you would be likely to forget it.

What is active recall?Pulling an answer from memory before checking it, which builds retention more effectively than rereading notes.

Why split a long recorded lecture into segments?Shorter segments make it easier to pause, take notes and test your recall before moving to the next section.

What is the Pomodoro technique?Study for 25 minutes, take a 5-minute break and repeat; after four rounds, take a longer break of 15 to 30 minutes.

How can you keep a consistent remote study schedule?Block the same study times on your calendar each day and start with short sessions, such as 20 minutes, that you can finish.

Generate the full set

Built from your course files

Upload PDFs, DOCX, PPTX, plain text notes or photos of pages. Text in images is read with text recognition.

Spaced repetition scheduling

Cards you miss come back sooner, and cards you know appear less often, so short daily sessions stay useful.

Study in the browser

The free plan lets you study on any device with a browser, with 3 generations per month and no credit card to start.

How it works

Upload your material

Add the PDF, slides, notes or page photos from your remote class.

Review the draft cards

Edit, delete or add cards so each one matches what your instructor expects.

Study a little each day

Use the spaced repetition schedule to review in short sessions around your home routine.

DeckOwl reads PDFs, DOCX and PPTX files, plain text notes and photos of pages, then drafts flashcards you can edit before you study. Each card is scheduled with spaced repetition, so weak spots return sooner and the material you already know fades into the background.

The free plan gives you 3 generations a month with browser study. Plus, at $39/year or $7.99/month, adds unlimited generations and Anki, CSV, PDF and DOCX export for the tools you already use.

Frequently asked questions

How many flashcards should I make from one remote lecture?

Aim for one card per key term, definition or concept, which often means 15 to 30 cards for an hour of material. Skip sentences that only add background detail.

How often should I review flashcards when studying remotely?

Spaced repetition spaces reviews for you, so cards you know come up less often and weak ones return sooner. Ten to twenty minutes a day is enough for most online courses.

What files can I upload to make flashcards?

You can upload PDF, DOCX and PPTX files, plain text notes, and images of pages, which are read with text recognition. Upload the material your instructor assigned so the cards match your course.

Can I export my remote study flashcards to Anki?

Yes, Anki, CSV, PDF and DOCX export are included on the Plus plan at $39/year or $7.99/month. The free plan lets you study in the browser but does not include exports.
