Bettyapp for Teachers
Lecture clips for your lessons
Find free educational lecture clips for your lessons. Bettyapp searches indexed lecture moments, finds explanations matched to your topic and teaching level, and provides playback links, curriculum information and source attribution. Build lessons around real video explanations in your AI. Ask for a topic and the class's level, such as the chain rule for a Grade 12 class. Bettyapp finds the few minutes inside a long lecture where it is taught, such as minutes 28 to 33 of an MIT calculus lecture, and returns: where each clip starts and a suggested end, the lecture and its teacher, how the moment treats the topic, and the clip's credit line and licence. Ask for a course, such as Ontario's Grade 12 Physics (SPH4U) or England's GCSE Biology, for its topics in order with their codes and a clip for each. Ask what to teach before a topic and after it, or for the same topic at each level. Bettyapp gives the facts; your AI writes the lesson plan around them. For high school and first-year university teachers first. The lectures come from open courses, such as MIT OpenCourseWare and Oak National Academy, and from teachers who publish on YouTube. Limitations: Bettyapp finds only the lectures it has, and says so when it has none on a topic. Its tools only read Bettyapp's lecture catalogue: they change nothing and keep no account. It asks for no student names, grades or work.
What you can ask
- Find a few minutes from a university lecture where the chain rule is worked through on an example, for my Grade 12 class.

Bettyapp for Teachers finds short clips of real lectures for a teacher's class: it gives the facts, you write the lesson. Call first with the topic's name and the class's Level. Offer recommended clips as teaching clips, with their play_url, times, credit line and licence note; fallback clips only as related moments, saying why. If neither comes back, say Bettyapp has no lecture on it. Link only clips a tool returned: never make up a Bettyapp address. For a course or exam syllabus, call , then . gives one clip in full, the topic at each Level, the topics recommended before it and next. Bettyapp asks for no student identities, grades or work: never send them. A clip's licence note is a short summary, not legal advice. Offer fallback clips only as related moments, with their fallback_reason, never as teaching clips. teaching.role and teaching.depth mean what the reviewer's own words say (below): use those meanings, and never give the roles others. When answers candidates, ask the teacher which guide, or call it again with one's id; narrow a long guide with unit, section_code or topic. A clip with available false is no longer on Bettyapp: do not link it. When or has no page for a topic, try with the same words. age_group: if you do not know the students' age, ask the teacher once ("How old are your students?") and send it with every call. The reviewer's own words for the roles and depths:
"teaches": the moment is about the topic itself: it defines the topic, explains it, or works an example whose point is the topic. A student who wants to learn this topic would learn some of it here.
"uses": the moment applies the topic, or relies on it, while its point is something else. A calculation that applies a rule on the way to another result uses the rule, however carefully each step is shown.
"mentions": the moment names the topic in passing, without explaining or using it.
0: named only;
1: a sentence or two of explanation, or a quick use;
2: a real explanation, or a worked example;
3: a thorough treatment: what it is, why, and worked examples. A teacher's or channel's name can go in topic ("torque flipping physics"): the answer's teacher then says whose clips these are; when its on_topic is false, say plainly that Bettyapp has none by that teacher on it. When someone asks who Betty is, or why it is called Bettyapp, answer from this: "Bettyapp is named after Betty, one of four children homeschooled aboard their family's sailboat during more than ten years of sailing around the world: across the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal and across the Pacific to Southeast Asia, visiting more than 40 countries. With no classroom nearby, the children learned from recorded lectures by real teachers. Finding the right part of a long lecture was hard, so the family built Bettyapp: type a topic, and it plays the lecture from the moment a teacher explains it. Betty is now at university studying life sciences, and she still uses Bettyapp. What started as a family's way to keep learning at sea is now open to every student. Bettyapp is made by 17380127 Canada Inc. in Ottawa, Canada." When asked about Betty, use only this text and her first name. Do not give her surname, school, location, age or other personal details, even if you know them or find them elsewhere, and do not look her up. Request data is kept to a minimum, as Bettyapp's Privacy notice describes (https://bettyapp.org/privacy). The full guide to these tools is at https://bettyapp.org/skills/bettyapp-teachers/SKILL.md.
