PerfectNotes(r) Promises To Enhance Students’ Career Prospects By Increasing The Learning Obtained From Every Class Or Lecture Attended

A breakthrough learning tool offers competitive benefits to students chasing improved qualifications to gain an edge in the ever tightening job market. The tool, PerfectNotes®, promises to enhance career prospects by increasing the learning obtained from every class or lecture attended.

Developed by Utah based PerfectNotes® Corporation, PerfectNotes® software is designed for laptop use in classrooms and lecture halls. The first-to-market application offers a 3-view record of any talk or lecture. It provides benefits both in and after class, as well as later in studying for finals.

PerfectNotes® cross links a real-time sound recording of each class with a visual timeline the student can bookmark at key moments and written notes he or she types as they go. The application ensures students leave every class with a dynamic record of what they have heard, thought and, most importantly, missed.

“With so few openings in the job market, students need the best qualifications they can acquire,” says Rachel Rehm, Vice-President at PerfectNotes® Corp.

”How well they do in exams depends on how much they understand from their classes and lectures. PerfectNotes® gives students their own, re-liveable multimedia record of every word spoken in every class… along with every point, idea and question they noted at the time.”

The application, available as a downloadable free demo from www.perfectnotes.com, prices licenses at $29.95 to ensure availability to the widest possible range of students.
