How to Link Companion Reading Notes Directly to Live Digital Board Lectures
Lectures are far more effective when students have reviewed introductory definitions before class begins. Linking companion reading notes directly to lecture cards ensures preparation.
Unprepared students slow down live lecture pacing
When students arrive without reviewing prerequisite vocabulary, teachers must spend twenty minutes explaining basic terms instead of demonstrating advanced problem solving.
Implement a structured pre-lecture reading routine
Upload a concise two-page companion reading guide to your chapter folder three days before class.
Link the companion note directly to the scheduled lecture card on your dashboard.
Instruct students via batch channels to review the companion document before attending.
Open the live lecture with a quick two-minute retrieval check on the assigned reading.
Put it into practice
Example: Pre-lecture organic chemistry reading
A teacher links a 3-page functional groups sheet to Tuesday's lecture; students review it in advance, allowing the class to dive straight into reaction mechanisms.
Worth checking first
- Keep pre-lecture reading notes under four pages to encourage consistent student completion.
- Highlight three specific questions in the reading that will be discussed live in class.
