Getting started
Other ways to start a topic
Not everything needs a full course. Start with a file, a quiz, flashcards, a visual, notes, a chat or a canvas.
The New topic window has a Start with list on the left. Hover the + in the sidebar to see the same choices grouped by what you get.
- Full course
- Chapters and lessons on your subject. See Create your first course.
- Read a file
- Opens your PDF, document or pasted text in the reader, split into pages, with the tutor ready to explain it. Nothing is rewritten.
- Quiz
- Goes straight to a quiz on the subject.
- Flashcards
- Opens a flashcard deck for the subject.
- Visual
- Draws a one-image explainer. You pick a drawing style, a format (mind map, flowchart, timeline, comic strip and more) and colors.
- Notes
- Writes study notes on the subject.
- Chat
- Opens a conversation with the AI tutor. Good for a quick question.
- Canvas
- Opens an empty, endless board for the topic.
On Home, Ask the tutor opens the Tutor, and the other buttons under the box (Read a file, Take a quiz, Flashcards, Start a course) open the same window with that choice picked.
A quiz, visual or notes still lives in a topic. If the topic has no course yet, lezrn sets up its structure first, which takes about half a minute.
