Staging Release of Cards in a Deck

Anki Scheduling
1

Hi All,

I’m trying to create an Deck to help some teachers and I learn a local Aboriginal language. I’ve been using a text book to create a deck with words to memorise. This has worked well for me because I’ve been adding chapters to the deck when I’m done the last chapter, but I would like to share this with other people and would like there to be a way to send a deck that doesn’t overload them with too many words at once.

Is there a way to create scheduled releases of tags in a deck, ie once each card from one chapter has gone through a few times, then release the new chapter into the deck? I imagine most people won’t want to learn how to use Anki so the easier I can make it for them the more chance of them really learning.

There’s no built-in system for doing exactly that – but isn’t this basically what the daily New card limit does? You can encourage your users to set a specific daily limit that will move them through the deck at a reasonable pace (just like any user of any deck should be encouraged to do).

Another (more complicated) method would be to release your deck with “signal” notes/cards inserted in the New-queue to guide a user’s progress. The first could be an instruction to suspend all of the cards and unsuspend tag X [and then suspend this card]. At the end of that block of cards, could be another signal card to unsuspend tag Y, etc.
