Navigating Your Live Lecture Session
Taking Manual Notes During Live Lecture
During your Live Lecture session, Spark.E automatically listens to your lecturer and takes notes for you in real time, allowing you to stay focused on the lecture without needing to type. However, if you prefer to take notes manually or want to quickly jot something down, you can still add your own notes during the session.-
When a Live Lecture session is created, you are immediately brought to the Live Lecture screen.
- The main note editor displayed on the left side of the screen and highlighted in yellow in the reference image above, is your My Notes workspace, where you can type and organize your own notes while the lecture is in progress.
-
To begin taking notes, simply click anywhere inside the blank note area that says “Take your own notes here” and start typing.
You can type and organize your own notes here while the lecture is in progress.
-
If you switch to other views such as Enhanced Notes or Audio Files, you can return to your manual notes at any time by clicking the My Notes tab, located in the bottom toolbar.
- As you type in the My Notes editor, our AI technology analyzes both the notes you write and the exact moment in the recording when the note was created. Using this context, Spark.E later enhances your notes by expanding on key ideas, clarifying concepts discussed by your lecturer, and filling in any missing information to ensure your notes are as complete and accurate as possible.
Getting Help from Spark.E
One of the most powerful features of Live Lecture is the ability to ask Spark.E questions in real time while your lecture is happening. If something is unclear, confusing, or you want further explanation on a concept being discussed, you can ask Spark.E instantly without interrupting the lecturer. This allows you to clarify difficult topics as they come up, helping improve understanding and retention while the material is still fresh.- To get real-time support from your AI tutor Spark.E, open the Spark.E Chat by clicking the Chat icon on the far right side of the screen.
- Once the chat panel opens, click the message field that says “Ask your AI tutor anything…” and type your question directly into the chat box, then press Enter to send your message.
- Or, if you’re not sure what to ask, you can also select from the suggested prompts listed under “Hello, I’m Spark.E.” These prompts provide quick ways to request explanations, summaries, or clarification about the lecture.
- Spark.E will immediately respond with a detailed explanation tailored to the material being discussed and your learning context, allowing you to get help instantly without needing to interrupt the lecture or wait to ask your professor later.
