An adult learner taking notes during a live lecture with a diagram projected at the front

Learning

Learn from the lecture, the slide, and your own question

Keep the explanation, the material, and the moment understanding broke down—then study from their connection.

For iPhone and iPad

One learning moment

A lesson has more than one layer

The transcript keeps the explanation. The slide keeps the model. Your own question shows exactly where the two did not connect yet.

  • AudioWhat was explained
  • ImageWhat you could see
  • TextWhat you still need

Keep the whole lesson together

Record with permission or import existing audio. Add the slide, diagram, worked example, and the question you wrote in the margin to the same note.

Lecture audio, a visual diagram, a question, and a worked example converging into one lesson folder

Understanding is a loop, not a summary

Move between the concept, an example, and your own recall until the idea holds without the original explanation in front of you.

  1. Connect

    See which explanation belongs with each diagram and example.

  2. Test

    Turn the material into questions, key terms, and recall prompts.

  3. Return

    Go back to the exact source when an answer still feels incomplete.

Build connections you can study from

Shape the complete lesson into clear explanations, a connected study guide, and active-review material grounded in the sources you captured.

A central concept map connected to examples, recall cards, a key idea, and an open question

Ask the lesson

Study with the source still attached

  • “Explain this diagram using the lecture”
  • “Create recall questions from these concepts”
  • “Where is my understanding still incomplete?”

Let the study guide grow with the course

Combine related lessons into a Smart Note, refine the guide as new material arrives, revisit earlier versions, and use Smart Search to recover the example you remember but cannot find.
