Empowering students to become self-advocates at Murray State University

How did Genio Notes become a game changer for Ken and his students?
Ken shared some specific examples that proved how Genio Notes had helped Murray State overcome the problems they faced with their previous system of note-taking accommodations.
- Students no longer had to wait for a volunteer note taker to be provided. Instead, Ken could get a student set up with Genio Notes straight away.
- The risk of students being served with substandard provided notes was eliminated. Instead, they were empowered to gain learning independence and become their own self-advocates.
- In gaining access to Genio Notes, students immediately felt more confident about learning and note taking, stating "it's a game-changer!".
"Whenever I meet with students in person, they're just blown away. They can't believe that we provide this for them."
Don't allow your students to be burdened by unreliable note taking accommodations
Ken stated that one of the most common responses he receives from students who have got their hands on Genio Notes is "I wish I would have known about this years ago!".
Legacy note taking accommodations put unfair constraints on the students who need them. With Genio Notes, they're armed with the tools they require to take charge of their learning and reach their potential.
"A common response from students is 'this is going to be a game-changer for me!'."
