Glean Notetaking Software

We have a limited number of Glean licenses for students registered with our office. If you enjoy simple, clean software, then Glean could be a great way to mark important parts of lectures.

Glean is a Google Chrome browser-based app that can be used online or offline to help you take better notes, pinpoint important information, and keep a recording of class meetings (Yes, even on a Chromebook!). It allows you to annotate different parts of the recording either while you're participating the first time or listening back after the class meeting so that you can come back to those most essential pieces of information.

To understand the software better, watch this 2 minute video:
