Educational Benefits and Uses

 

enLighter for Networks has benefits for educational institutions in and out of the classroom.  enLighter works with your network to provide a forum for teachers and students to research, collaborate, and communicate.

Schools want to provide their students and teachers with information at their fingertips.  If they’re in the library researching, or at home preparing a paper or lesson, they should have access to the same information.

enLighter gives educators and students alike the ability to collect information from any computer on the school’s network (uses existing permissions), and send it home with their notes and highlights intact.

How enLighter for Networks benefits educators

 

enLighter in the library enLighter reinforces good research habits by providing a structured and intuitive interface for students, librarians, and teachers to collect and index information on a networked computer.  enLighter’s Electronic Color-Coding Technology™ (ECC Technololgy™) provides students and faculty the ability to quickly collect and index information by using colored highlights.  For example, when a student finds a relevant piece of information or chart while researching for a history paper using a library computer, he has the option to save the information to his personal library (on the network) or to a common library for others to reference.  Simply by selecting the appropriate color-code, ECC Technology quickly indexes the information to be browsed or retrieved at a later date.

enLighter for teachers

Educators often use the Internet to find up-to-date information to make their classes more interesting and relevant.  However, when Web pages change or move, the teacher is left with irrelevant information.  enLighter captures relevant data and images, and indexes them for easy reference.  Teachers can:

Ø      Re-use materials be selecting the version of a document you want to display

Ø      Summarize lessons in convenient handouts automatically, without having to print a single page.

 

enLighter for students

Ø      Organize information by subject, project, topic, or other classifications just by making highlights to a page

Ø      Index information to easily cross-reference and associate research

Ø      Collaborate with other students on projects in ‘project libraries’

Ø      Communicate with teachers more efficiently by identifying the specific information in question or of relevance

Ø      Retain their research to build on knowledge acquired year after year

Ø      Summarize research into bibliographies or research reports
