About this use case

A lesson video covers one teaching point clearly, so students can watch it before class, after class or before a test. Upload your notes, a handout or slides and VibeKnow structures the explanation, writes the narration and illustrates each point. Teachers use it for flipped classrooms, revision and absent students.

Best for

  • Classroom teachers
  • Tutors
  • Flipped classrooms
  • Revision and test prep
  • Writing and language teachers

What's in “Active and Passive Voice: When to Use Each”

  • Same event, different spotlight: “The cat chased the mouse” versus “The mouse was chased by the cat.”
  • The formula: a form of “be” plus the past participle, with or without “by” and the doer.
  • Three moments to choose passive: unknown doer, obvious doer, or when the result matters most.
  • Why active is usually the default: shorter, clearer, and it keeps stories moving.
  • The zombie test: if “by zombies” fits after the verb, the sentence is passive.

The explanation students wish they could replay

In class, a student nods along. That evening, with homework open, the step that seemed obvious has disappeared. They don't want to ask again; they want to hear it again.

A lesson video keeps your explanation available after the bell. Students replay the part they missed, absent students catch up, and you spend less of the next lesson repeating the last one.

FAQ

Questions about lesson videos.

Can I use my existing slides?

Yes. Upload the deck; you can keep every slide as it is and add narration page by page.

Can I make one video per topic in a unit?

Yes. Upload the notes for each topic separately and keep the same style, so the unit plays as one series.

How long should a lesson video be?

One teaching point per video works best. Say the length you want in the prompt.

Can I make a version for a different grade?

Yes. Upload the same notes again and put the grade in the prompt; the narration is written for that age.
