Master online learning with the Glean Chrome Extension

While online and hybrid learning makes studying more accessible, it isn’t without its challenges.

When students don’t have the right tools, they end up spending online lectures navigating and resizing multiple tabs or windows instead of focusing on the content and their notes. 

Using Glean's new web extension for Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge, students can take control of their learning, seamlessly capture notes, and highlight key points - all while staying focused within a single tab.

Glean just got even better for online learning

Recorded lectures and online learning are fantastic for two key things: catching up and improving accessibility for all students.

We want to elevate the online environment by eliminating potential distractions so students can focus and get the most out of content, wherever they are. All it takes is the right tool. 

Content and note taking, all in one tab

Our web extension streamlines online learning by eliminating the need for multiple tabs and windows.

With a handy side panel, learners can take notes directly alongside lectures and videos, maximizing focus and retention, and ensuring they don’t miss out on key information.

We’re making it easier for learners to use the fantastic features of Glean through an online learning environment. This vital shift in utilization could completely change the experience of note taking for those students.

Benefit 60% of learners

Nearly two-thirds of learners use distance learning in some capacity. Some key student profiles that you might recognize are:

• Those with short-term absences due to illness or injury
• Learners with mental health conditions who may feel unable to attend lectures
• Students with disabilities who may find it difficult to have full attendance
• ESL learners who may watch lectures back to minimize the language barrier.
