Slidenote for Education

Quiet classrooms hide what's actually going on.

A hundred students on Zoom tiles. A two-hundred-seat lecture hall. A hybrid section where half the room is on a screen. You can't read faces, the same three students answer every question, and the first honest signal you get on your lecture is the midterm — by then it's too late to fix anything.

Slidenote gives you that signal while you're still teaching.

One link to lecture. One report for every class.

Bring your existing deck. Upload your slides and Slidenote generates a 6-digit code. No new authoring tool to learn, no template to migrate to.

Share the code. Students join from any browser — phone, laptop, or tablet — with no app and no signup. They follow along anonymously, and can flip back at their own pace if a slide needs a second read.

Teach with feedback on every slide. As you lecture, students signal comprehension per slide. You see where you're landing, where you're losing the room, and where to slow down — without breaking your flow.

Live signals built for teaching, not applause.

Most live-presentation tools measure cheers. Slidenote measures comprehension. Every signal your students send is anchored to the slide it happened on, so you can act on it in the moment and analyze it after.

Signals are anonymous by default. Students who would never raise a hand in front of two hundred peers will tell you, quietly, that slide 14 didn't make sense. You read the whole room — not just the loudest seats.

We're building this signal layer out. Structured comprehension tags are available today. Coming next: slide-pinned questions so nothing gets lost in chat, quick polls and pulse checks to verify understanding before you move on, and live attention metrics so you see drop-off in real time instead of in a post-mortem at the end of term.

See what your students actually got — every lecture, not just at midterms.

When the session ends, your report is waiting. For every slide, you see who responded and how, where the class got it, where they didn't, and the questions and comments your students left in context.

Across a semester, the same course becomes a record of what's working and where the material needs another pass. Adjust next week's lecture, not next year's syllabus.

Built for the people in front of a classroom.

Professors and lecturers teaching undergraduate or graduate courses.

Instructors running large-format or hybrid lectures where you can't read the room.

TAs leading discussion sections, recitations, or office hours.

Anyone teaching at a university who's tired of finding out at midterms that half the class is lost.

Getting started.

Slidenote is free during the current trial phase, with sessions sized for up to 100 simultaneous participants. Bring any deck and run your next lecture with the lights on.
