Structure reduces avoidable cognitive load

Lecturer explaining cognitive load in a university class
Ⅱ21:08/ 48:16
01

The source remains visible

Return to supported lecture moments when a definition, example or explanation needs more context.

02

The mode rail stays simple

Guide, Recall, Missions, Quiz and Studio follow the same right-hand order as the real extension.

03

Students shape the route

Studio lets learners explain, question, tag and choose what to revisit instead of only receiving generated material.

How it fits together

One source. A clear study route.

Guide first, recall next, revisit later—with source return available when detail matters.
  1. 1

    Open supported lecture material

    Start with the lecture recording, transcript, course page, file or source text you can already access.

  2. 2

    Build the source-grounded guide

    Use the guide to find structure, definitions, examples and the source moments worth returning to.

  3. 3

    Retrieve the ideas from memory

    Move into recall, a short mission or an optional quiz and answer before you look back at the source.

  4. 4

    Capture your thinking in Studio

    Write an explanation, save a question, connect a concept and decide what you need to revisit.

  5. 5

    Continue from the library

    Saved guides and later review remain visible in the Synlecto web app when the lecture closes.

Source-grounded study support

Useful structure, with the source and its limits still in view.

Synlecto shows source-return cues and guide quality states so students can move quickly while recognising partial, limited or uncertain coverage.

FAQ

Useful answers before you begin.

Where does the Study Companion appear?

It opens as a browser side panel beside supported lecture material. The narrow mode rail stays on the right, matching the real extension layout.

Which study modes are available?

The main student route includes Guide, Recall, Missions, Quiz, Studio and Ask. The interactive hero demonstrates the clearest first study loop, while the homepage explores Studio as the learner-owned workspace.

Can I use it without a Panopto recording?

Yes. The companion can support other lecture-video, course-page, file and text workflows when usable source material is available.

Does it write assignments for students?

No. Synlecto is designed for revision support: reading, recall, short practice and return to source—not assignment-ready prose.
