How Lectern Works

01 / The Card Creator

Start with
your material.

The Card Creator

A Blobatar follows the cursor as it types a term and definition, chooses Formula, and reviews the native chemical notation in the actual read-only Card Creator. This playback saves nothing.

02 / Choose the relationship

A term. A molecule.
A diagram. A question…

Card types

Five native card types: Term and Definition, Question and Answer, Formula, Equation, and Diagram. Prepared examples show the structure and content of each type.

03 / Study Focus

Decide what
you want to recall.

Choose Study Focus

Study Focus determines what a card can test. Examples show text recall, mathematical variables, formula atom counts and reaction balancing. A learner keeps useful targets and removes others. Free users can choose manually.

04 / Plan a return

Connect your class.
Schedule your study.

Plan a return

A Cell biology review is moved from a Class into a Tuesday study block. This is a local animation and creates no schedule event.

About review timing

Review timing uses FSRS. Recorded practice informs later review; one answer does not establish mastery. Hints and teaching exposures differ from unaided recall.

Read learning-system transparency
