Ankidroid sounds great. I want to make sets of flashcards (with text, graphic and audio) and send them to my students. Can I do that?
Thanks,
Stewart Silinsky

Hi there! Yes you may - you may either upload them to AnkiWeb as a public "shared deck" then all your students will see the shared deck when they search, and they may download/import it that way


Alternatively if you long-press on a deck you may export it (with or without scheduling information: if sharing with others you should export *without* scheduling information since they will want a deck without your review history in it...) and it will save an .apkg file that you may email or transfer to students directly by whatever means available


Please note that there is no ability to *collaborate* on a deck, that is have multiple people make edits to the same deck and share edits / combine edits. I believe it is possible for a single person to *add* cards (not update, just add) to a deck and re-share and future importers will get the new cards if they re-import the same deck, but I would test this. Best practice is to have the deck ready to go like publishing a book, mentally, before sharing, and share new decks (which students may add perhaps as sub-decks...) if you want to publish new material.


Hope this helps -

-Mike
