Main ideas / lessons

  • Don’t use Anki (or “enquiry”/workflow) generically for every subject. The key is to adapt the carding strategy to the specific course content and learning goal (e.g., sequence, definitions, formulas, protocols, author/theory associations).

  • Target your weak steps instead of redoing what you already know. Interactive cards (especially step-by-step cloze/sequence formats) let Anki focus review on the parts you struggle with.

  • Represent knowledge in multiple formats inside Anki:

    • Text cloze / fill-in-the-blank for steps in a sequence.
    • Visual occlusion (masked images) when recall is better from diagrams/structure.
    • Front/back “reverse” cards (e.g., formula ↔ name/theorem) to strengthen recall in both directions.
    • Bullet-point steps for multi-step methods/protocols.
    • Separate “table-of-contents” style cards to handle many authors + their theories, organized by author or by topic (and optionally mind-map style).

Methodologies / instruction lists (detailed)

A) Three-step sequencing example (growth stages) — “fill in the blanks” approach

  1. Create new cloze cards in Anki (text format).
  2. Paste the sequence (three phases/stages) into the card material.
  3. Use cloze deletions so Anki asks you for:
    • Step 1, then Step 2, then Step 3.

During review

  • If you miss a step (e.g., Step 3), you’ll see that step again.
  • It can also adjust emphasis toward nearby weak steps.

Why this works

  • Instead of rereading the entire list every time, Anki revisits only the uncertain portion(s) based on your responses.
  • Early steps you already remember don’t need as much repetition.

B) Visual sequencing example — drawing/diagram + image occlusion

  1. Make a diagram on a tablet or paper (the speaker used an iPad; paper + photo works).
  2. Start with titles/structure first (e.g., Phase 1 / Phase 2 / Phase 3), then add details.
  3. Optionally color-code each phase to support memory.
  4. Save as an image (e.g., screenshot → send to PC → import into Anki).
  5. In Anki, use Image Occlusion:
    • Add the image.
    • Mask (hide) each phase section separately.

Review interaction

  • Anki reveals the question by hiding parts; you recall which phase corresponds to each masked area.

Note from the speaker

  • They mention you wouldn’t necessarily do every option at once, but you have two solutions:
    • text cloze vs. visual occlusion.

C) Math example — formula/theorem cards (including “both directions”)

Create standard cards where:

  • Front: the prompt (e.g., “Vandermonde / Sell the world formula” as phrased in subtitles).
  • Back: the exact formula (often as a screenshot if needed).

Add the reverse direction too (bidirectional recall):

  • Front: the formula image/prompt.
  • Back: the name of the theorem/formula.

For methods/procedures (multi-step):

  • Front: the method name (e.g., “decomposition method”).
  • Back: bullet-point steps (ideally rewritten in your own words).

Review behavior

  • If you forget a step (e.g., a detail like “squared”), it will be flagged for later review.

D) Many authors + theories — build “table of contents” cards

When exams ask something like: “According to author X, what is theory Y?”, you need author name + associated idea.

Solution 1: Keep existing author-related cards, and add TOC cards per author

  • For each author:
    • Add one “table of contents” card (or several categories, depending on structure).
  • On that TOC card:
    • Front: author name.
    • Back: a short bullet list of that author’s theories:
      • Theory name + a very concise summary of the overall idea (speaker suggests ~one sentence / max ~10 words).

This creates a mental link:

  • recall which theory belongs to which author,
  • then expand using the detailed cards.

Solution 2: Build TOC cards organized by topic (entry point = topic, not author)

Create cards where:

  • Front: the topic/theme.
  • Back: which authors proposed key theories on that topic, with concise theory-level entries.

This supports exam-style questions that are topic-centered (e.g., “in this topic, what did Author A and B think?”).

Optional variation: Mind-map format

  • Center: the theme/topic.
  • Branches: authors.
  • Sub-branches: each author’s theories.
  • Then use image occlusion to hide branches and force recall.

Speakers / sources featured (all identifiable in the subtitles)

  • The main speaker / instructor (unnamed in subtitles)
  • “Liia / LIA” (referenced as someone whose content is copied into examples—likely a course/notes source or a student)
  • “Donia” (student who answers during the live demonstration)
  • “Boden Hossen” (named as an author example for organizing theories)
