I need to learn ordered and numbered items in form of a list. How would I approach this?
Let’s say I wanted to learn a list like the OSI Networking Layers. How can I achieve Anki showing me layer7 (right/wrong), layer 6 (right/wrong)… ?
Randomizing cards in this instance is more confusing than it’d be helpful.
Maybe it can be achieved using Image Occlusion Plus.
Maybe just using one Anki Flashcard where one has to enter every layer by name and if something doesn’t match Anki will mark it as a wrong answer.
Q: Name the seven layers of the OSI model in order.
A: 1. Physical layer.
2. Data link layer.
3. Network layer.
4. …
And then additional question like:
Q: What PDU does the Physical layer of the OSI model use?
A: Bit, Symbol.
Q: What does PDU mean?
A: Protocol data unit.
Q: What is a protocal data unit?
A: Single unit of information transmitted among peer entities of a computer network.
I do it this way for all of the topics I learn and it works really great for me.
@Anon_0000 I would be glad if you could give me more information and explain your personal Anki-study process a bit more, as it sounds really promising to me.
How do you group your flashcards?
Do you mean using an Anki feature or just writing the information into a text file and going through it from top to bottom from time to time?
I have a single deck and everything goes into that deck. There are a lot of different topics inside (e.g. maths, biology, psychology, IT, a bit of mechatronics…).
I separate my topics with tags only, but I do have an indication on my card in case it’s needed (though I never needed it).
As an example, the green bar at the top in the following picture shows the general topic. The name and color is generated by javascript in the templates (based on the root tag).
