Cartisio: Turn Homework into Vibrant Study Aids

Cartisio converts plain-text homework into colourful, interactive study packs that make revision faster, clearer, and more motivating.

Why Cartisio? Turn Passive Reading into Active Learning

Most homework is dense text. Cartisio turns it into an interactive study pack designed around proven methods:

  • Dual Coding (Paivio): pair words with visuals to deepen memory traces.
  • Multimedia Learning (Mayer): align text + images + narration; remove clutter.
  • Retrieval Practice (Roediger & Karpicke): frequent low‑stakes recall strengthens retention.
  • Spacing (Cepeda et al.): revisit across days/weeks for durable learning.

Instead of rereading, learners interact: flip, label, sort, test, and watch concise videos when a concept needs a quick reset.

What a Cartisio Study Pack Includes

  • Flipcards: curriculum‑tagged prompts for rapid recall.
  • Visual Notes: simple diagrams, timelines, and tables to reduce cognitive load.
  • Worked Examples: step‑by‑step solutions that model expert thinking.
  • Quick Checks: 3–5 questions to diagnose gaps instantly.
  • Curated Videos: short, reputable clips from trusted educators for targeted refreshers.

Each item is colour‑coded and chunked to guide attention without overload.

How Cartisio Automatically Builds High‑Quality Aids

  1. Extract: Detects topics, glossary terms, formulas, procedures from your upload.
  2. Generate: Creates flipcards, dual‑coded diagrams, and worked examples aligned to KS2/KS3/GCSE.
  3. Curate: Suggests high‑quality YouTube explainer videos (age‑appropriate, concise, captioned).
  4. Personalise: Surfaces weak items via spacing; tracks starred cards; adapts difficulty.

How It Works (30 seconds)

  1. Upload a photo or file.
  2. Cartisio extracts key ideas and glossary terms.
  3. It builds flipcards, visuals, examples, and a video set automatically.
  4. You revise, star items, and re‑quiz over time.

Who It Helps (KS2–GCSE)

  • KS2: solidify facts (tables, grammar, shapes) with visuals + recall.
  • KS3: build foundations (algebra, cells, analysis) with worked steps.
  • GCSE: practice exam‑style prompts; recall formulas, procedures, and case facts.
