Research question
Lecture recordings are long and hard to revisit: students scrub through an hour of video to find a two-minute explanation.
Approach
Recordings are transcribed, split into topics and indexed alongside the slides, so a search returns the exact moment a concept was explained.
Key features
- Full-text search across a module’s recordings
- Topic outline generated for every lecture
- Notes link back to the second they refer to
Evaluation
A study with second-year students compared revision time and quiz results with and without the tool.
