Prototype Anki flashcards for download

March 22, 2018 Richard Hornby

Over the past few months, Richard has been developing a comprehensive set of flashcards to assist with revision for AS and A-level Physics.
The full prototype of these cards is now available for download for existing clients via the Mallard Days Portal. In order to view the cards, you will need to download and install the Anki app, which can be found either on the Portal, or via https://apps.ankiweb.net/.
The Anki website also contains full instructions, and also companion apps for Android (free) and iPhone (paid), however in either case you need to use the Desktop app to load the cards first.
If you do not have a Portal account, and would like to access the revision cards, please speak to your tutor, who will be able to set you up with an account.
