Synlecto

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.
