Demo

See it run inside Zoom.

Try it in a simulated Zoom classroom, or watch a short recording of a real session: the host launches a check-in while a student follows along, bookmarks a moment, and opens their recovery pack after class.

Take the guided walkthrough

A full Zoom meeting mock-up that runs in your browser. Launch a poll as the professor, then switch to the student view and answer it. No install and no sign-in.

What it does

A live classroom loop inside Zoom.

Four tools that all run on the live lecture transcript. Professors check understanding during class, and students follow along and fill the gaps after.

Professor's Pulse

Quick comprehension checks, mid-lecture.

One click drafts a poll from the last few minutes of lecture. The professor edits it, launches it, and watches the answers come in live.

Warm-Up Arena

A timed review game built from the lecture.

AI writes review questions from the lecture, students race a countdown, and faster correct answers score higher on a live leaderboard.

Live Anchor

A live topic timeline and glossary from the transcript.

Momentum listens to the live transcript, marks every topic change, and defines new terms the moment they're said, in any of six languages. Join late or lose your place, and you can still see the current topic and every term defined so far.

Recovery Agent

Capture confusion in class, fix it after.

Students bookmark hard moments privately during class. After class, every bookmark turns into a recovery pack with plain-language explanations, practice prompts, and notes to download.

Fellowship project

Made through the Zoom Fellowship at ASU Next Lab.

About the program

The Zoom Fellowship pairs ASU students with the Zoom developer platform.

It's run by Next Lab, ASU's emerging-technology studio focused on the future of teaching and learning. The goal is working products that real classrooms can actually use. Momentum is one of three projects in the 2025 cohort.
