Frequently Asked Questions

What data powers Lecture Insights?
Lecture Insights uses emoji reactions, question responses (participation and correctness), time-on-topic, and attendance captured during the session.
Does Lecture Insights use AI?
Yes. AI is used only to extract and label topics based on the content of your slides and questions. No other AI processing is applied to the data in this feature.
When is the report available?
The report is typically available within minutes after class ends. You’ll see a toast notification when your insights are ready. A purple icon will also appear next to the content that has a Lecture Insight report ready. The icon will disappear once the report has been reviewed.
Can I view student-level details?
Not yet. Current reports summarize data at the class level to support teaching adjustments rather than grading.
How are “Highest Engagement” and “Students struggled here” calculated?
  • Highest Engagement: The slide that received the most emoji reactions from at least 10 students.
  • Students struggled here: At least one response was submitted, and the correctness rate was below 50%.
  • Students understood this: The correctness rate was above 70%.
What if I didn’t ask any questions?
You’ll still see engagement data based on emoji reactions and time spent per topic.
Can I export, edit, or delete insights?
Not at this time. Exporting and editing options are planned for future updates. You’ll soon be able to leave feedback directly from the report.
Why isn't the Insights button working for some presentations?
Lecture Insights are only available for content that has been presented, including slides and folders with questions.
Who can access Lecture Insights?
Lecture Insights are visible to instructors and TAs; students do not have access.
How do I report an incorrect insight?
An in-product feedback tool (“doorbell”) will be available soon for reporting or commenting on insights.
