Starts with Panopto lecture video

Add a study path to every Panopto lecture.

Open a Panopto lecture recording in your VLE. If it is embedded, pop out the Panopto player, then Synlecto adds a guided way to recap, practise, revisit the source, and connect repeated ideas across saved guides.

From Panopto lecture video to next study action

Open the Panopto player once. Synlecto gives you something to read, something to answer, and something to come back to later.

Step 1

Open the Panopto lecture

Start in your VLE, then open or pop out the embedded Panopto player when needed.

Step 2

Get a guide, flashcards, and short missions

Lecture source flowing into guide, flashcards, and missions

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

Step 3

Come back when the lecture is due again

Due topics return later so the next study action is obvious.

How Synlecto works

From lecture source to checked study actions.

Synlecto starts with the recording, transcript, captions, or source text, then adds structure, coverage checks, and guardrails before students see guides, recall, missions, later review, and accessibility tools.

Synlecto workflow from lecture source through assurance checks to student study actions
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.

Due reviewShort missionsWeak topics

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 coverage and connections

We look for missing sections, later-topic gaps, and source support before connected routes are presented.

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.

Why Synlecto feels different

It does not start with a blank page or stop at a summary. It adds the next useful study step from the lecture player you already use.

It starts from the lecture player

You begin with the Panopto video and transcript you already have, not a blank workspace you need to organise first.

It gives the next study action

The output is not just a summary. You get a guide, recall prompts, and short missions from the same lecture.

It brings topics back later

Revision does not end after one session. Synlecto surfaces what is due before the lecture fades.

It keeps the thinking with you

Synlecto structures the work, but you still explain, recall, compare, and answer from memory.

What your lectures become

A guide for context, recall tools for practice, and MyMap when connected concepts start to build a bigger route.

Guide from one lecture

A study guide you can actually revise from, grounded in the lecture instead of a separate note-taking workflow.

Recall tools from the same source

Flashcards and short missions turn the lecture into active practice without making you build everything by hand.

A route back in later

Your guide and recall tasks sync across phone, laptop, and tablet, with the next review ready when you return.

MyMap across lectures

When the same idea appears in more than one guide, MyMap builds a source-backed route through the connected moments.

Compatibility across lecture-capture and VLE workflows

Synlecto works where lecture-based study already happens

These references show where Synlecto can run on lecture systems. They do not imply institutional endorsement.

University names and logos are trademarks of their respective institutions. They are shown here to explain compatibility context, not approval or partnership.

Students make progress when the study loop is clear.

Synlecto turns one lecture into a practical rhythm: read, test, and return later, so familiar review becomes active practice.

Before vs afterTypical revision pattern
Before
  • Rewatching to feel caught up
  • Notes that never become questions
  • Spending half the session deciding where to begin
After
  • A guide with a clear structure
  • Recall tasks built from the lecture
  • A next step when you come back later
You still do the thinkingActive learning

Synlecto keeps revision in your hands. 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.

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 Panopto lecture recording, lecture video, or source material to build a guided study route.

Does Synlecto work with Panopto?

Yes. Synlecto is built around Panopto lecture recordings in university VLEs. Open or pop out the Panopto player so the transcript or captions can load, then create a source-grounded study route.

Does it work in my VLE?

Yes for common lecture videos in Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, and Brightspace. Panopto is the main supported lecture recording workflow, with YouTube and file/text fallbacks where source material is available.

Do I need the browser extension?

If you want to create directly from a Panopto lecture video in your VLE, 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, later review prompts, and MyMap connections across saved guides so students practise and revisit the material.

How is MyMap different from a lecture library?

A library stores recordings and guides. MyMap looks for repeated source-backed concepts across a student’s active tracks, then turns those connections into a route with cited moments and private weak-point support.

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.
