AI can now summarise a two-hour lecture into detailed notes within seconds, but is faster always better?
Join us as we explore the science of learning and delve into the recent research into the impact of AI. We’ll explain our approach to using AI and the role of “productive friction” within Genio Notes and finish with a product demo that also showcases our new STEM-specific features, designed to make complex equations and dense theories much easier to handle.
Learning Science vs. AI Speed: Explore why instant AI notes might hinder retention and how recent research suggests ""faster"" isn't always ""better"" for genuine, deep learning.
The Concept of ""Productive Friction"": Learn how Genio Notes uses intentional challenges in the note-taking process to move students from passive consumption to deeper academic understanding.
New STEM-Specific Features: Explore a product demo showcasing tools designed to simplify complex equations and dense theories, supporting students in high-level STEM education.
