Declan FlashCards<\/strong> is an app for iPhone\/iPad and Android devices that helps foreign language students learn vocabulary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The app comes \u2018pre-loaded\u2019 with 14 language channels each containing 1000s of words and phrases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Channels feature<\/strong> allows schools to create their own bespoke channels containing course-specific content which students can load into their copy of Declan FlashCards.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

How do students load a channel?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\"Add<\/figure><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Students add a channel to Declan FlashCards by entering a \u201cChannel Code\u201d provided by the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

The channel\u2019s details are then presented and the student can choose to install it.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

The newly installed channel will appear above the pre-installed channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Tap the channel icon and the list of topics or lessons will appear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Within each lesson are the words and phrases which can be reviewed and then the exercises can be attempted. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Creating your channels<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Schools work with the Declan Software team to set up channels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Declan Team takes the course content provided by the school (word lists and audio recordings), and compiles these into a Declan FlashCards Channel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If required, we can assist with putting together wordlists, as well as help with producing the corresponding audio recordings using professional native-speaker voice artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Channels also require an icon – usually the school or university logo or shield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copyright and intellectual property protection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

All word lists and audio provided by the school remain copyrighted to the school, with Declan Software having only distribution rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The channel materials are delivered to the app in an encrypted format to ensure intellectual rights are protected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, offering this material via an app rather than a website further guards against copying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Channel codes themselves can be configured to prevent unwanted sharing and copying of the course material. These channel codes can be specific to each student, can be single-use, can limit the number of devices the channel can be installed on per code, and can also be set to expire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What does it cost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The institution can choose one of two options for how access to its channels is priced by Declan Software:\\<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. <\/strong>An annual subscription paid by the institution based on the number of students using the institution\u2019s channels, or<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. <\/strong>An in-app subscription paid by the individual app users – the students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For pricing details please contact us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is no charge to the school for the work Declan Software does compiling channels, or for hosting them on our servers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If assistance is required to record audio, these costs would be covered by the school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
