Students have tools for independent study and tracking their progress. Understanding these helps you prepare materials and guide students effectively.

Key Information

Key Information

  • Students generate revision pages from YOUR Knowledgebase documents
  • Creates summaries and flashcards, NOT practice questions
  • Requires Level + Subject metadata and the file to finish processing (status Ready)
  • Files must be ≤ 500KB (converted PDF size) to generate revision pages
  • Performance page shows skill strengths and areas to improve
  • All content comes from your teaching materials

Revision Page Generator

What it is: A tool that generates study materials (summaries and flashcards) from documents in your Knowledgebase.

What Students Can Generate

When students use the Revision tool, Lexa creates:

  1. Revision Summaries - Condensed notes highlighting key concepts from your documents
  2. Flashcards - Question-and-answer cards for active recall practice
  3. Key Terms & Figures - Important definitions and concepts highlighted

Important: Students do NOT get practice questions or adaptive quizzes. This is purely for generating study notes and flashcards from your materials.

How Students Use It

  1. Go to Revision from their dashboard
  2. Filter documents by Level and Subject (if you've set these)
  3. Click on a document from your Knowledgebase
  4. Lexa generates a revision page with summaries and flashcards
  5. Use flashcards for active recall practice
  6. Review key concepts before tests
Revision Page Usage

Requirements for You (Teacher)

For students to use revision materials effectively:

  • Upload documents to your Knowledgebase and wait for status Ready
  • Add Level metadata (e.g., "Grade 10", "A-Level", "University")
  • Add Subject metadata (e.g., "Mathematics", "History", "Biology")
  • Keep documents ≤ 500KB (converted PDF size); larger files are rejected
Teacher Knowledgebase Setup

Without Level/Subject metadata (or if the file is still processing), students won't see your documents in the Revision tool.
