5 ways Genio (formerly Glean) is helping faculty to enhance their classroom

As a faculty member dedicated to providing engaging learning experiences, you’re constantly seeking innovative ways to empower and educate your students.

We understand that you spend countless hours carefully curating your course content, focussing on how best to share the knowledge you’ve built over a career dedicated to your subject.

And yet there can often be a lack of understanding when it comes to knowing what students are fully comprehending and what needs further explanation.

Augmenting your expertise

This is where Genio Notes comes in, to support you in sharing your expertise.

It's not about replacing your insights; it's about giving you an extra set of hands in the classroom, making you more efficient in creating class materials and providing insight on areas students are struggling with.

Genio Notes is here to help empower your students to become independent learners, acting as a digital teaching assistant that enhances both your instruction and your students’ learning experience.

Assistance in practice

Content ownership and privacy

Rest assured, we value and protect your intellectual property. Genio Notes is simply a tool to help you share your knowledge in an efficient and accessible way.

We take data privacy seriously. Your content is stored securely and is not used for any other purpose beyond delivering the Genio service.

Sensitive material

We recognize the importance of maintaining control over your classroom environment. If a discussion involves sensitive material, you can easily ask students to pause their recordings in the usual “pencils down” approach.

Genio Notes compared to traditional recording methods

Unlike traditional recording methods, which can be passive and cumbersome, Genio Notes is designed to actively improve student learning. It promotes engagement and provides tools that encourage effective study habits.
