I don’t give it mostly because few of my students would do it; they are not strongly motivated by grades.
Hm. I was about to suggest that the natural way to get daily Anki compliance is to have that be homework—it should be easy for students to send you some record / to find or build a webapp where you can see whether or not students are reviewing their cards.
(This runs into trouble with digital access; students may have a hard time getting on the Internet on Saturdays or Sundays. But for many schools this isn’t a problem.)
Monitoring features are definitely a part of the vision I’ll be laying out in the next post, but more as a way to make classroom time more productive than as a homework enforcement aid. To get them to use something on their own time I’m going to have to be more clever, and make them feel like it was their idea.
