Pedagogical infrastructure
Turn lectures into learning systems.
Not just content.
LectureMinutes connects lecture recording, structured publishing, student interaction, and teaching analytics into a single closed loop — so every lecture becomes evidence you can act on.
The feedback loop
Five stages. One continuous loop.
Each stage feeds the next. Student confusion becomes a revision prompt. A revision becomes a new version. A new version gets a new DOI.
Record
Lecture → Transcript
Upload audio, video, or typed notes. AI transcribes and structures the content.
Publish
Transcript → Preprint
Convert to a citable pedagogical preprint with DOI registration.
Assign
Preprint → Students
Assign preprints to student cohorts. Track who engaged and when.
Observe
Engagement → Signals
Collect structured feedback, session data, and confusion indicators.
Improve
Signals → Revision
AI-assisted revision suggestions drawn from real student responses.
Stages 1 – 2
From lecture recording to citable preprint.
Upload audio or video from any recording setup, or paste in typed notes. LectureMinutes transcribes, structures, and formats the content into a publication-ready pedagogical preprint — automatically.
- High-accuracy transcription. Powered by Deepgram and OpenAI Whisper, with speaker diarisation and timestamp anchors.
- Structured article conversion. AI extracts sections, headings, key concepts, and citations from the raw transcript.
- DOI registration on publish. Every preprint gets a persistent DOI via Crossref. Citable from day one.
- Version history. Each revision creates a new version. Earlier versions remain accessible and citable.

Introduction to Quantum Computing
Lecture 4 — Wave-particle duality and its implications for gate-based computation
Abstract
This lecture introduces wave-particle duality as a foundational principle of quantum mechanics, tracing its implications for qubit behaviour and entanglement in modern quantum computing architectures…

Stage 3
Assign preprints directly to students.
Link any preprint to a student cohort as an assignment. Students receive it in their workspace, read it in context, and submit structured feedback. You see completion and engagement in real time.
- Invitation-based enrollment. Students join via a private code. No public signups, no spam.
- Per-assignment visibility. Each assignment shows who started, completed, and submitted feedback.
- AI study sessions. Students can open a contextual chat session grounded in the preprint content.
Stage 4
See exactly where students struggle.
Students don't just mark a reading as done — they submit structured feedback tied to specific sections. You get confusion hotspots, comprehension gaps, and engagement patterns mapped back to the actual text.
- Section-level feedback. Each feedback item is anchored to a section of the preprint, not just a free-text box.
- Confusion hotspots. Aggregate student responses highlight which sections generated the most confusion.
- Progress dashboards. Track each student's reading progress, session time, and submission history.
- Cohort-level analytics. Teaching Plus unlocks aggregate views across your entire student group.
Section engagement
Confusion hotspot · 14 responses
"The transition from wave-particle duality to superposition wasn't clear — I didn't understand why one implies the other."
AI revision suggestions · Section 2.3
Restructure suggested
Add a bridging paragraph between §2.3 and §2.4 explaining why wave-particle duality is a prerequisite for superposition — 14 students reported this gap explicitly.
Clarity improvement
The phrase "probabilistic state collapse" appears without prior definition. Consider introducing it with an analogy before §2.4.
Example addition
Students who completed the study session asked about real-world gate implementations. A brief worked example in §3.1 may improve retention.
Stage 5
Student confusion becomes your revision brief.
LectureMinutes analyses the feedback your students submitted and generates targeted revision suggestions for the sections that caused the most confusion. Each suggestion links back to the student responses that generated it.
- Student-informed suggestions. Revision prompts are grounded in the actual language students used when they reported confusion.
- Section-level precision. Each suggestion targets a specific section, not the whole document.
- Accept, reject, or modify. Review each suggestion independently and apply only what makes sense to you.
- New version on apply. Accepted revisions create a new preprint version with a fresh DOI point.
Publication
Every lecture becomes a citable academic work.
LectureMinutes is also a preprint server. Completed pedagogical preprints are published openly, indexed via Crossref, and accessible to the academic community with a permanent DOI. Teaching and publishing are the same action.
Open preprint server
All published preprints are publicly accessible and searchable.
Crossref DOI registration
Automatic DOI registration on publish. Every version is individually citable.
Formal publication pathway
Submit your preprint for peer review and move toward a journal-quality publication — without leaving the platform.
Who it's for
Built for lecturers who want to know if their teaching is working.
Not a note-taking app. Not a generic LMS. LectureMinutes is for academics who record lectures, want students to engage with them seriously, and want evidence they can use to improve — not just usage statistics.
I record my lectures. Can students do more than just watch them?
Yes. Students read a structured preprint version, submit section-level feedback, and work through contextual study sessions — all tracked.
I already publish preprints. How is this different?
LectureMinutes closes the loop back to teaching. Your preprint becomes an assignment, and student responses feed directly into your next revision.
I want to know which parts of my lecture confused students. Can I?
That's exactly what Teaching Plus is for. Confusion hotspots are mapped to the original sections, ranked by frequency.
