Taking notes during fast-paced lectures is a challenge for many students – but for those with specific learning difficulties, it can become a serious barrier to learning.
Jamworks is designed to change that. It’s a personalised learning tool that helps students take better notes and engage with lectures in a way that works for them
It helps to reduce stress and support the real goal of note taking… which is to learn and develop a deeper understanding of the information delivered in class.
How Jamworks helps overcome specific barriers to learning
Note taking / listening and typing at the same time
Enhanced Notes
Note taking shouldn’t mean choosing between listening and writing.
Enhanced Notes reduces cognitive load by suggesting improvements to students’ in-class notes – filling in gaps, correcting spelling, improving structure, and formatting STEM equations clearly and accurately.
Instead of trying to capture every word in real time, students can focus on listening and understanding – knowing their notes will be clear and complete later. It’s a simple way to reduce pressure and build confidence in their learning process.
Revision / comprehension / organisation of study materials
JamAI
For many students, understanding lecture content isn’t as simple as reviewing notes after class – especially when tricky concepts remain unclear and support isn’t immediately available.
JamAI acts like a personal tutor, offering instant, personalised explanations when students come across a challenging concept.
Its Simplify mode breaks down complex ideas and STEM equations from recorded lectures into step-by-step explanations, using accessible language and relatable examples.
This helps students stay engaged during revision and feel more confident in topics they’ve previously found difficult.
Jamworks user stories & DSA assessor feedback
“Jamworks made everything 100000x better. I understand classes and get through assignments so much easier.” — Student, University of Denver
“In terms of boosting confidence and reducing stress, Jamworks is fantastic. Students know their notes are safe and easy to access. It also really helps reduce the anxiety of worrying that they’ll miss something important during the lecture”
— Lucy Fallis, DSA Assessor, Capita
“I will be completely honest. If I were in university now, I would use Jamworks.”
— Elaine Argue, AT Trainer, Sight & Sound Technology
Who is Jamworks designed to help with their studies?
Example use case: Peter, a dyslexic STEM student
Peter is a first-year dyslexic Mechanical Engineering student.
Fast-paced lectures, complex equations, and limited time to revise make it hard for him to stay on top of his learning.
Jamworks supports Peter at every stage of his learning:
Capture → Structure → Engage → Reinforce
1. Capture
Peter records his lectures using Jamworks typing notes at a comfortable speed, so he can focus on listening rather than rushing to write everything down.
2. Structure
After class, Enhanced Notes suggests improvements to his rough notes – correcting spelling, organising ideas, and formatting complex STEM equations so they’re easier to review.
3. Engage
When a topic still doesn’t make sense, JamAI breaks it down step by step. Whether it’s a tricky equation or a confusing theory, Peter gets instant explanations in clear, relatable language.
4. Reinforce
To revise, Peter uses Flashcards – personalised questions generated from his recorded lectures. Each card includes answers, explanations, and audio snippets to jog his memory.
When he’s ready for more of a challenge, he turns to Quiz Me. It starts with simpler questions and gradually increases in difficulty – helping Peter track progress, stay motivated, and build confidence step by step.
Jamworks supports Peter at every stage of his learning – from understanding in the moment to revising with confidence. It reduces stress, improves retention, and helps him feel more in control of his learning.
