Your LMS is a coursework-material goldmine
Students treat Canvas, Blackboard, and Moodle as places to submit homework, but instructors quietly load them with review material: past quizzes in module attachments, slide decks with exam hints in the notes field, rubrics that literally list what graders look for.
Spend fifteen minutes at the start of each term clicking through every folder of every course. Map what exists before you need it — the week before an exam is the wrong time to discover a practice bank existed all along.
Turn instructor files into your review system
Everything your instructor uploads is raw material for practice. Lecture slides become AI-generated study notes; readings become flashcard decks; past quizzes reveal the question formats your instructor prefers, which tells you what to generate more of.
- Slides with sparse bullet points benefit most from AI expansion into full notes
- Generate practice quizzes per module so review matches how the course is organized
- Old exams are format guides: match your practice sets to their question mix
Work beside the portal, not across windows
Window-switching is where focus dies. Solve Pilot opens as an on-page panel on the same tab as your course portal, so explanations and answer suggestions appear next to the material instead of in a separate app you have to alt-tab to.
Keep the full question and its answer choices visible before opening Solve Pilot so automatic page reading has the context it needs.
