Scrolling left and right along the course titles reveals the modules and lectures and hovering over one will indicate whether you can play it, buy it, or open a folder to reveal the lectures.

Search the lectures

All of the lectures have been transcribed and timestamped. This means you can search and play a lecture from any point in the transcript that you want, e.g. a point that shows up as a result of a search you have made.

The search buttons appear in a number of places and are context-sensitive. They either allow you to search all lectures or just the lecture that is currently playing.

You can use boolean logic in your searches, as shown below

Search Tip

Example

You can search for a single word or exact phrase. Phrases must be enclosed in “”

“fast cure”

You can search for partial words by appending an Asterix *

photo* will return photo,photon, photograph etc

You can search for multiple words at the same time by separating them with a space, and if you separate them with a + sign it indicates that both words must exist in a sentence for that sentence to be returned in the results list.

fast +cure

Similarly, you can search for sentences that contain a word but not another word by prefixing the non-allowed word with a minus sign.

Fast -cure

You can refine your search by using a new word and phrase and searching again, within the existing search results.

·        Capturing the time stamp and transcript at the point related to your notes

The notes you take are stored in your computer’s cache, and will persist from lecture to lecture, even when you close and re-open the page. The notes will be cleared from the cache when you use the clear notes button or clear your browser’s cache.

There is a download button that will download a text file version of your notes, and you can re-upload this or any text file to the notes panel.
