From the web to course materials in your Artifact Vault
Capture articles, PDFs, visible document text and opened video transcripts where you work. Save cited course materials and create reviewed teaching drafts in the ClassLattice side panel.
A good source should become part of your instructional record. The Teaching Companion carries it into your Artifact Vault, where you can connect the lattice to your next lesson.
Found a strong source on the web?
Bring it into your Artifact Vault and connect it to what you are teaching next.
Open the source and click ClassLattice in Chrome. Capture the page or just the passage you need.
Review the text, choose your course, Artifact Vault and adopted standards, and save it as course material.
Find materials you can reuse, create a lesson or exit-ticket draft, or attach the source to a planned lesson.
What you keep: A cited, editable course material with source provenance, revisions and proposed standards alignment.
A useful PDF deserves more than a bookmark.
Turn a reading, reference sheet or scanned handout into material you can work with.
Open an accessible PDF and choose Page / PDF. Scanned pages can use local OCR.
Check the extracted text, especially formulas, tables and OCR recognition. Keep only what your lesson needs.
Save the source to your course, then create practice, reading supports or discussion prompts from it.
What you keep: The source stays in your Vault; teaching drafts become separate editable artifacts.
Already working in Docs or Slides?
Keep ClassLattice beside your document while you prepare the next activity.
Open the extension alongside the document. Paste a chosen passage, or use Visible text to read the current canvas with local OCR.
Review what was captured and save it with the course and standard it supports.
Create a worksheet, lesson plan or teaching slides. Copy draft text back into your document, or review and edit it in Artifact Studio.
What you keep: Your everyday tool stays part of the workflow, with a reusable ClassLattice source and draft.
Make a video part of the lesson.
Use the transcript as evidence for questions students can discuss and explain.
Open the YouTube transcript, then capture it. You can also paste an excerpt you have reviewed.
Keep the relevant text and any supplied timestamps, then save it with your course and adopted standards.
Choose Discussion & video questions and review the draft before classroom use.
What you keep: Questions grounded in the supplied transcript, with the original source available for review.
One instructional record, wherever preparation happens.
80+ tools across the full platform, with a Chrome extension that works where you already teach. Both work with the same course materials. Sources keep their citations and revision history. AI drafts stay editable and require teacher review. Saving a source and attaching it to a lesson use zero AI Credits; generation uses your ClassLattice AI Credits.
Chrome protects internal pages and some embedded content. For document canvases, use Visible text or paste a passage; review OCR before saving. Video questions use the transcript you supply. The extension does not automatically edit Google documents, publish assignments, assign grades or release work to students.
