How it works
This page follows one lecture, a second-year lecture on the cardiac cycle, from the day its slides are posted to the day of the exam. One point from the lecture, reading valve events from the pressure trace, is marked with a green dot at every stage.
Posted on Moodle
Lecturers continue to work as they do now. When the slides and the recording for a lecture are posted on Moodle, Questo collects them together with any accompanying handouts, and the lecture appears in the student's course. Canvas and Blackboard are supported in the same way.

Built overnight
Overnight, Questo works through the slides and the recording and identifies every point the lecture makes. For each point it produces a step of the lesson, exam questions and recall questions, and every fact in them is taken from the lecture.
The lesson
The lesson covers everything the lecture states. Each point is taught in words and a drawing, and the student then works it on that drawing before moving on. It closes with questions in the format of the exam. This is the complete lesson for this lecture.
Recall
Material that is studied once is largely forgotten within days. Each point therefore returns as a new question, at a longer interval each time it is answered correctly and on the following day when it is not. The chart follows the marked point from the lesson to the exam.
The student's record
Every answer is added to the student's record. The dashboard compares the points a student can recall with the number required by the exam date, and it states clearly when they are behind and what is needed to catch up.
What staff see
The same answers are brought together for staff. A lecturer sees the whole year group: which points are not yet understood, and the most common mistake on each. A tutor sees each of their own students individually.

Exam day
By the exam, every point in the lecture has been taught once and recalled several times, and the student, their tutor and the lecturer have each been able to follow progress throughout.
