A better way to start studying with your lecture notes
Ever finished a lecture, looked at your notes and thought… Where do I even start?
You're not alone. Between incomplete notes, trying to remember what your lecturer said and spending hours reorganising everything, it's easy to spend more time preparing to study than actually learning.
That's exactly why we've introduced Study Notes.
Rather than replacing the learning process, Study Notes are designed to give you a structured starting point, so you can spend less time organising information and more time understanding it.
Start studying sooner
Good studying starts with good notes. But creating them isn't always easy.
Study Notes automatically generate a complete set of notes from your lecture, giving you something clear and structured to work from as soon as your class finishes.
Instead of spending your study session rewriting or reorganising your notes, you can jump straight into reviewing the ideas that matter.

Study Notes are the starting point, not the finish line
Reading notes once isn't enough to help information stick.
The most effective studying happens when you actively engage with what you've learned. That's why we encourage you to use your Study Notes as the foundation for your learning, rather than the final product.
Here are a few ways to get more from them:
- Read through them soon after your lecture while the content is still fresh.
- Test your understanding by taking a quiz based on your notes.
- Cover sections and recall them from memory before checking your answers.
- Add your own annotations, examples and questions to make the notes personal to you.
- Print them out if you prefer studying away from your screen.
The goal isn't simply to have notes, it's to do something with them.
Study with confidence
When you're revising, confidence matters.
Study Notes are created from your lecture transcript, giving you a dependable starting point based on what was actually covered in class. That means you can spend less time worrying about gaps in your notes and more time focusing on understanding the content.
Whether you couldn't capture everything during the lecture or simply want a structured resource to study from, Study Notes help ensure you're beginning your revision with confidence.
Make the most of your Study Notes
Like any study tool, the real value comes from how you use it.
Try combining your Study Notes with active study techniques such as self-quizzing, retrieval practice, or explaining concepts in your own words. These approaches help move information from short-term memory into long-term understanding.
Study Notes aren't designed to do the learning for you, they're designed to help you start learning more effectively.
Happy studying! 🎓
