Thousands of learners are feeling the benefits of using Glean.
“Because I was able to go back and listen to the notes better and go through it more thoroughly it gave me more confidence about what I was hearing from the professor.”
"Glean has been substantial in helping with my learning. I've improved my grade from a C- to an A."
"You give that one time explanation, and you have to hope students have processed it. Glean helps to recall that information and my students really like that."
"There are lots of issues with the teacher going really fast. It's really hard to listen and write, sometimes when I look back on my manual notes they're not useful at all."
"There’s so much information in class. Even if students are sitting, listening and paying attention it’s still hard. There may be too much information for them to process. They may need to go back and listen 2-3 times for it to stick. Glean allows for that."
"Handwritten notes didn't work for me. When I was introduced to Glean it really helped. Now I can listen to my teachers fully while Glean is recording my class."
"Students are increasingly anxious, and they’re already worried they can’t keep up with class. Telling my students they’re going to be able to capture the information with Glean reduces their anxiety. It’s like a security blanket."
"It was important that I could capture the information in my own way. Glean has been incredibly helpful to allow me to understand what and how I'm learning."
