From lecture video to next study action
Open the player once. Synlecto gives you something to read, something to answer, and something to come back to later.
Step 1
Open the lecture video
VLE pagePlayer tabCreate
Start in your VLE, then open or pop out the embedded player when needed.
Step 2

One source becomes a guide to read and recall tools to answer.
Step 3

Due topics return later so the next study action is obvious.
After the first session
Synlecto keeps the next step visible.
Most study tools stop at the summary. Synlecto brings back due cards, short missions, and weak topics so the lecture returns when it is worth revisiting.

Built for academic trust
A guide only shows "Checked guide" after current automated checks.
Synlecto publishes guides through an academic assurance model that combines source provenance, publication states, quality gates, benchmark fixtures, and internal review logic. We would rather downgrade a guide honestly than overclaim its completeness.
Starts from the source
Synlecto begins with the lecture transcript or source text, not a blank prompt.
Keeps what matters
Important academic terms, comparisons, processes, and case examples are kept where they matter.
Checks lecture coverage
We look for missing sections and later-topic gaps so a guide does not quietly stop halfway through.
Labels guides honestly
When the source is weaker or incomplete, the guide says so clearly instead of overstating confidence.
Source excerpts remain truthful. Learner-facing labels may be cleaned conservatively where confidence is high, but source truth is not rewritten.
University names and logos are trademarks of their respective institutions. They are shown here to explain compatibility context, not approval or partnership.
The problem is usually the study loop, not the student.
Rewatching and rereading feel safe because they are familiar. Synlecto gives one lecture a clearer loop: read, test, and return later.

A next step when you come back later
You still do the thinkingActive learning
Synlecto does not replace revision. It gives the lecture a structure you can use: guide first, recall next, then a route back in later.
What students noticed after using it
Less rewatching, less second-guessing, and a clearer next step.
Student feedback
It stopped me from mindlessly rewatching. The missions are short, but they make me think, which is the point.

Student feedback
The next best action removed the daily debate. I opened Synlecto and just did the thing.

I felt more in control. Small sessions, most days. The streak helped, but the structure helped more.

FAQ
Direct answers before you try it.
What do Synlecto’s guide quality labels mean?
Labels show how much source coverage Synlecto found: Checked guide, Partial guide, Limited-source guide, or Source text only. They are not lecturer verification, so students should still use course materials.
How do students start using Synlecto?
Create an account, add Study Companion, then open an existing lecture video or source material to build a guided study route.
Does it work in my VLE?
Yes for common lecture videos in Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, and Brightspace. If the video is embedded, open or expand the Panopto or YouTube player first so the transcript or captions can load.
Do I need the browser extension?
If you want to create directly from a VLE lecture video, yes. If not, you can still create from uploaded files or pasted text inside Synlecto.
Is it just AI summaries?
No. The guide is the starting point. Synlecto also gives flashcards, short missions, and later review prompts so students recall the material.
What about privacy?
Synlecto keeps data minimal and gives deletion controls for guides, local data, and accounts.
Do university names on the site mean endorsement?
No. They show lecture-system compatibility context only. University names and logos are there to explain where Synlecto can run, not to suggest institutional approval.
Start with your next lecture.
Quick start gives you the cleanest route in: open the lecture player with Study Companion, view the sample guide, or use the fallback create flow if capture is unavailable.
