We're proud that our note taking tool is proven to increase learners' outcomes in several key metrics

Rachel Schechter, Ph.D. (LXD Research Founder), Paul Chase, Ph.D and Colin Ackerman, Ph.D said:

ICON-seedlings-1

"Students demonstrated a reduction in dropout intentions from 7% to 5% (p=.01) and increased self-reported grade point average from 3.34 to 3.46 (p<.001, Cohen's d=.14)"

ICON-pinboard

"The significant reduction in dropout intentions, coupled with significant improvements in GPA, represents meaningful impacts on core institutional metrics."

"The particularly strong benefits for new majority learners-including first-generation students, working students, and those with learning differences-suggest that the Genio Notes platform addresses systemic barriers to academic success that traditional support services may not adequately address."
