ADCET Webinar: Genio - Unlocking Better Learning for All with Assistive Technology (Vendor demonstration)

Corrected captions will be added shortly

One of the most important principles of effective learning, perhaps the single most important principle, is that learners must be active participants in the learning process. Genio, formerly known as Glean, goes beyond traditional note-taking to leverage the power of how we learn. Built on learning science principles, Genio Notes offers students multiple means of engagement to enable them to become more actively engaged  in the learning process. This is done by allowing the compilation and processing of information in multiple means within a highly accessible work space that includes features to better manage executive functioning.

Genio creates beautifully simple learning tools that boost knowledge, skills, and confidence. This session showcased how Genio Note's features, including its ethical and strategic use of AI, has grown from being a leading assistive technology to becoming a powerfully inclusive universal study tool for academic success for all students across campus.

This presentation also showcased Genio's soon to be released product called Genio Present and their new suite of services that aim to build student capability to optimise their learning.
