iPod, MP3 player, cell phone become mobile study tools

What students are saying: "I can listen to a podcast lecture any time of any day... helping me keep up with my busy schedule. The knowledge that I'm on track with my lectures is priceless."
Powerful Search and Retrieval
Students quickly find just what they need using thumbnail image or keyword search, even across an entire semester of class recordings. During class, Tegrity's automatic tagging and indexing creates metadata for textual content of slides, websites and application names.
Powerful navigation and search capabilities
Search engines are the research vehicles of choice for today's internet-savvy students, a finding underscored in a study of Tegrity user behavior. While a typical lecture lasts an hour, a typical student session on Tegrity lasts 15 minutes and can be characterized as highly fragmented as the student can quickly scan class materials for a particular topic or concept.
Tegrity enables students to navigate through courses and lectures, drill down with the visual index or search the Tegrity database for any word or phrase that appeared on any slide during class.
Class recordings are divided into chapters based on instructor slide changes and annotations. Students use the text and thumbnail index to easily move through podcasts to get the information they need. Learning is reinforced with more engaging content, enhanced with instructor voice, slides, annotations and video. Student can take the class with them to study when and where their schedules permit.
