We’ll also be joined by Michael Matousek as he shares the story of his company, Flashnotes.com, and its mission to compliment and reinforce the in-class experience and assigned textbook through the Flashnotes.com marketplace. By leveraging original student-created content, students have another opportunity to get help in real-time, preventing them from falling behind throughout the semester, to improve academic outcomes, student retention and graduation rate. In addition, hear the thoughts and experiences of fellow educators on this topic, and learn how you can help your students to take advantage of this technology.

8. Introduction to Flashnotes
Who We Are...
Flashnotes.com is the student-to-student study materials marketplace.
On Flashnotes.com, college students sell and buy course-specific study
materials—study guides, notes, flashcards, video tutorials, and live video help.
Our Mission...
To complement and reinforce the in-class experience and assigned textbook.
What We Aren’t…
A repository for exams, tests, homework or a way for students to plagiarize
professors or textbooks.
How It Works…
Students upload their original study material and set their own price. The student
received 70% of their total sales in a weekly payment via the payment method of
their choice.

President Emeritus of Kent State University
• Remedial forms of education are needed,
both before the class and also during.
• Content on Flashnotes.com is truly meant to
supplement and reinforce what goes on in
the classroom.
• This reinforcement ensures that more
students are on the same knowledge level
during each class.
• This leads to more engagement inside the
class and less issues going forward.

10. Lou Latiaf
Dean Emeritus, Boston University School of Management
• Students have always used peer to peer
learning as a way to complement
formalized education.
• It is a way for the students providing
instruction to better understand the key
concepts and for the student being
instructed to hear another student’s
perspective around these same concepts.
• Universities already have elements on
campus that focus on peer-to-peer learning
– Tutoring.
