Install the extension and a purple Sync to Asksia button appears on every recording in your Echo360 / EchoVideo Class List.

arc · concepts · traps · Q&ANot a wall of transcript. AskSia reads the whole lecture and structures it the way you actually revise — every concept timestamped back to the moment in the recording, ranked by how hard your lecturer leaned on it.
Once a recording is a Sia Note, the whole lecture is chat-searchable and convertible into the format you actually revise in.
"At what minute did she define independent assortment?" Sia answers with the timestamp and jumps you there.
Every concept and trap links back to its timestamp in the recording — no scrubbing a 48-minute video.
Turn any Sia Note into spaced-repetition flashcards built from the concepts that actually got emphasized.
Generate exam-style questions from a week of Sia Notes. Get scored, with explanations cited to the recording.
Reads only the lecture you can already see. Never writes, modifies, submits, or deletes anything on your Echo360, MonashCast, or university LMS.

Echo360, now branded EchoVideo, is a lecture-capture and video platform many universities in Australia, the UK and the US use to record lectures. Students watch recordings ("classes") in a course Class List, with synced slides, transcripts, playback-speed control, notes and bookmarks.
Yes. With the AskSia Chrome extension, a purple Sync to Asksia button appears on every Echo360 lecture. One click reads the recording's transcript and returns a Sia Note — a timestamped lecture arc, key concepts ranked by exam emphasis, the exam traps your lecturer flagged, and the class Q&A — in the language you study in.
A Sia Note turns a recording into a structured study page: a timestamped lecture arc you can scan, the key concepts ranked by how much the lecturer emphasized them (each linked to its moment in the video), the exam traps your lecturer flagged, and the questions asked in class. It is generated in the language you are reading in.
Those are just university names for the same Echo360 / EchoVideo platform (Monash, UQ, Imperial College London and others), so the AskSia Sync button works the same way on all of them.
No. AskSia is read-only and only uses the lecture content you are already allowed to see — your transcript, slide timings and metadata. It writes nothing back to Echo360 and never asks for your university password.
Echo360's Study Guide just collects the notes and bookmarks you made manually. AskSia auto-generates the whole Sia Note for you — the lecture arc, key concepts with timestamps, exam traps, flashcards and practice questions.
