Educational Benefits

How Teachers Benefit Using enLighter Retriever

Class and lecture preparation is probably the most time-consuming task any educator performs.  Teachers search, collect, organize, and prepare information relevant to a variety of topics for their lessons.  Unfortunately, a lot of information goes missing after a few days because Web-based information is constantly changing.

You spend a lot of time collecting information for your lessons.  Don’t lose anything anymore. 

 

 

Save Time ~ Quickly find all relevant information and index it for easy reference.

Retain Information Forever ~ Information is indexed in your vault, so it is retained even if the Web site changes.  Never lose your course materials again.

Build Powerful Presentations ~ Add notes to presentations to provide an interactive teaching environment.  Pop-up notes capture students’ attention and summarize your points.

Helpful Handouts ~ Provide a reference to all relevant information for given subjects. Add notes, highlights and links to assignments, teaching aids, and other documents.

Grade Papers Faster ~ Conveniently point out errors by highlighting sections on assignments, and mark pages with comments electronically – no need to search for the red pen anymore.

Create Quick Summaries ~ View of all your information by subject, class, or even by project.

Put Assignments Online ~ Still printing assignments that were emailed to you?  Now you can keep them indexed and organized online for easy reference.  Save the trees!

View Multiple Versions of Documents ~ Retriever notifies you if the document you are viewing has been modified and enables you to view the latest information or details previously stored.

Share Interesting Research ~ Share your ‘enLightened’ research with colleagues and students.

 

How Students Benefit Using enLighter Retriever

enLighter Retriever allows students to keep their education with them, because they retain their knowledge electronically. Retriever removes the monotony and frustration of researching and finding information they’ve found before.  Students can find their information once and keep it forever.

Excite Your Students ~ Leverage your students’ willingness to use technology in their everyday lives and apply that excitement towards education and research.

Reinforce Research Skills ~ Teach the importance of categorizing information to help students build on prior knowledge and reinforce good study habits.

Improve Communication ~ Reach that shy student who refuses to put their hand up in class. Questions can relate to specific points by attaching notes to lessons.

Increase Collaboration ~ Students can “add their voice” to their research and share it with others to collaborate on projects, post on an information site, or just for fun.

Generate Effective Reports ~ Students can prepare study notes, clipping reports, or online bibliographies to submit with their research assignments.

 

Why is indexing your knowledge important?

We live in the knowledge age and are bombarded with information daily, 90% of which is irrelevant or unimportant.  This information overload creates an environment that limits our ability to remember what is important.  Students and educators are most affected by this phenomenon because their ability to remember relevant information is tested on a regular basis.

We have all referred to an index when searching for information – at the back of a book, on Google, in the Yellow Pages, etc.  It saves time.  Now that the majority of information is communicated electronically, the average person has the ability to index their own research and even add their comments (their knowledge) to further index their information.

With enLighter Retriever you can search your knowledge as easily as you would flip through the Yellow Pages.  Indexing saves you time and effort.

Index your knowledge and let Retriever fetch it for you.
