Turn live lectures into digital assets
Lessonbank gives teachers an easy and automated way to digitally capture, preserve, and reuse their lectures to remediate students and deliver flipped learning experiences.
This digitally transforms live instruction (which is ephemeral and only able to benefit those in attendance) into digital learning assets that are persistent, searchable, and reviewable by students--especially the absent ones.
It's a novel solution for truancy and learning loss--and it works by giving students a second chance to fill in the gaps of missed classes and confusing lectures
Share these assets with students
Lessonbank provides students with videos of their entire classroom education--including all of the classes they missed along the way---permanently hosted in a YouTube-style class video archive that is available around the clock for review, reference and remediation.
This gives students an unprecedented ability to fill in the gaps, stay on track, and achieve subject mastery. It's a significant upgrade over graduating students with 13 years of memories and a paper diploma. With Lessonbank, students graduate with their class videos, transcripts, and classwork from kindergarten through 12th grade
Make it all searchable
Lessonbank automatically transcribes the audio of each lecture to make classroom instruction searchable by keyword. This enables students to find relevant answers to their questions in the form of a lecture video that was previously delivered by their actual classroom teacher. Lessonbank search instantly retrieves specific data from vast, complex datasets, reducing the time spent looking for information. It leverages semantic search to help users find relevant information, even if they do not know the exact keywords. And it offers features like autocomplete and personalized results, boosting engagement, and the overall user experience
Flatten the Curve of Forgetting
Lessonbank is especially helpful with knowledge retention. The Ebbinghaus forgetting curve, discovered by Hermann Ebbinghaus in 1885, illustrates how memory retention declines rapidly after learning, with roughly 50-80% of new information lost within days if not reviewed. Fortunately, the forgetting curve can be flattened through spaced repetition and meaningful, consistent review, which strengthens neural traces over time. But how are students supposed to review their past lectures when class is a live, non-recorded instructional event? This is the problem Lessonbank solves--making every moment of school reviewable--which increases knowledge retention with every repeat view.
