Improve the quality of instruction and promote learning
- Requires minimal training to integrate into web-assisted or distance learning classrooms. Provides rich diagnostic data for assessing group progress and providing individualized instruction.
- Supports efforts to move away from predominantly didactic models of instruction toward more interactive, collaborative frameworks.
- HyLighter's visual display options make activities that are normally hidden, become visible for public scrutiny, feedback, and reflection. Understanding emerges as students compare views and discuss similarities and differences with their peers and instructor.
- Requirements to annotate documents, "publish" results, and reconcile differences with other students promote increased accountability for doing reading assignments on time, more time on task, and a deeper processing of information.
Increase productivity of document-centered group work
- Write successful proposals
- Develop effective policies
- Create meaningful strategic plans
Improve accountability for school learning
Increase engagement and completion rates: Requirements to annotate documents, "publish" results to a class network, reconcile differences with other students, and compare results to a benchmark (e.g., the instructors annotations) promote increased accountability for doing assignments on time and deeper processing of information.
Improve accountability for the workplace
Improve the quality of organizational communication: Ensure that important documents (e.g., policies and procedures) are read and understood by all stakeholders.
Archive activity to reduce liability: HyLighter's tracking and notification feature automatically notifies employees as deadlines approach and lets supervisors know who has not completed assigned tasks. HyLighter maintains an archive of activities for each member of the organization as documentation of compliance. [coming soon]
