Lecture recaps that students actually rewatch
Long lecture recordings go unwatched. Create focused recaps students use for review and study. Transform 60-minute lectures into 10-minute highlights students rewatch before exams.
Try example prompts
"I recorded the lecture. 3 students out of 200 watched it."
You record your lectures for students who miss class or want to review.
It seems like a great resource.
Students can rewatch anything they didn't understand.
They can study from real instruction.
Then you check the analytics.
Almost no one watches.
The 60-minute recording sits unwatched.
Students who missed class don't want to sit through an hour.
Students reviewing for exams don't have time to re-watch everything.
20% engagement with videos over 12 minutes long
60+ min typical lecture length students won't rewatch
Pause & rewind most valued but rarely used on long recordings
Time-consuming to create additional recap content
Every unwatched lecture recording is a study resource that never helped students learn.
From "I'll watch it later" to "I watched it three times"
Before ngram
- You post the full lecture recording after class. 60 minutes of comprehensive instruction. Students who missed class have access. Students reviewing for the exam have a resource.
- But they don't use it. The full recording feels like a commitment. Students tell themselves they'll watch later. Later never comes. When exams approach, they don't have 10 hours to rewatch every lecture. They rely on notes and hope for the best.
- Your effort to provide recordings produces minimal value because the format doesn't match how students actually review.
After ngram
- Same lecture delivered. But this time, you also create a 10-minute recap. The key concepts, main points, and critical takeaways condensed into something students will actually use.
- Students watch the recap before the next class to refresh. They watch it again before the exam. Some watch it three times. The format matches their study habits. Short enough to fit in a study session. Focused enough to provide real value.
- Your teaching reaches students beyond the classroom because the recap format works with their schedules, not against them.

Focused recaps from your existing recordings
Ngram transforms your lecture recordings into focused recaps students actually watch and use for study.
Extract the highlights
Take your full lecture recording and identify the key moments. Ngram helps you create a condensed version with just the essential content. Students get the main points without the full time commitment.
Or record quick summaries
After each lecture, record a quick 10-minute summary of what was covered. Hit the highlights while they're fresh. Ngram polishes the recording into a professional recap students can reference.
Either way, students get study resources they'll actually use. Recaps that match how they learn.
What changes when educator lecture recap video take minutes
Recaps students actually watch
10 minutes is manageable. 60 minutes isn't. When you provide content in formats students will use, they use it. Watch rates jump from single digits to majority. Your teaching extends beyond the classroom.
Content for exam review
Students can't rewatch 40 hours of lectures before an exam. They can watch 40 focused recaps. Provide the study resource that fits their constraints. Better preparation, better outcomes.
Help for students who miss class
Asking students to watch a 60-minute recording after missing class is asking a lot. A 10-minute recap catches them up without the time burden. Accessibility improves when format matches reality.
Support different learning styles
Research shows low achievers particularly benefit from rewatchable content at their own pace. Focused recaps serve students who need to review concepts multiple times. Learning support built into the format.
