Linux
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

You don't need to make your own module, you really just need a package definition. This packaging tutorial is a bit old but should still be helpful.
An easier method might be to clone the Guix git repo, edit the package definition in education.scm, and use pre-inst-env to install your newer version.
But if you're going to to that, you might as well just submit a patch so others can benefit from the new package. If it's just a version bump, it might be as simple as bumping the version number in the definition!
Have you tried guix edit anki? In addition, I'd like to point out that you also need the sha256 checksum of the release to correctly build it.
TL;DR: Go to the Anki GitHub repo (or whatever forge Anki uses), fetch the sha256 checksum of release 2.1.65, guix edit anki and update the version number and the checksum.
