(For lecturers)
Learning built around every student.
Upload your course material once. Each student gets their own study path through it, and you see which topics need more time before the exam.
Upload your course once. Every student gets their own study path.
(How it works)
Set up your course in three steps.
(Step 1)
Create your course.
Add your syllabus, slides and readings, and set the exam date. Sidetracked Day turns the material into a learning path of concepts and chapters.
(Step 2)
Invite your students.
Share one link or a join code. Students join from their phone or laptop, and you see who has enrolled.
(Step 3)
One course. Three paths.
Every student studies the same course, but with their own study system. Sidetracked Day adapts to each student: when material comes back for review, how concepts are explained and which question formats they get.
(Over time)
See where they struggle.
Mastery for each topic: how many students are progressing, struggling or have not started.
Know what to teach next.
Recommended actions for your next lecture, and the misconceptions that come up most often, with how many students they affect.
