 So, yeah, as Thomas just said, I'm Antonello, and I have the pleasure to work for Amano. I don't know why I have always the after-line session, so I'll try to keep you awake for this session. So we're seeing this session, a bit something about Amano that is an application conceived for note-taking in education. So let's start by saying that, I think that you all agree with me if I say that note-taking is something that is present at every stage of the student learning journey, but it is often considered as an obvious and intuitive skill to develop during studies. So unfortunately, still now some structures, there are still even a lot of structures that live on their own, the students when it comes to note-taking. But actually the quality of the notes and the performance of students are almost always something that are going together, and so for that reason it's very important to give them a good tool to take good notes. The good notes improves short and long-term retentions and the overall performance of students. And on top of that, also because of the COVID pandemic that we had last two years, students are turning more and more into digital note-taking because it's easier for them to store the information and to rework on the information, to go back and retrieve the right information. However, standard work, I mean editor that you can find now on the market, even the most innovative ones that you can find now are mostly tools that are more conceived for the professional world and then absorbed by the educational domain. So students hand up by writing a lot of texts, they are lost into different things, taking screenshots, these kind of things, and it can be really time-consuming instead of time-saving. So we'll discover together today, Amano, that is, as I was saying, is a tool conceived and developed in the beginning by a student. So really based on the needs of a student and mostly also in an academic world. And so Amano is a web app based, actually, that allows students to take clear and structured notes aside of the document, but also on the document itself, but also videos we will see in a few minutes. I will also show you a short demo to see how it works concretely. So Amano makes students more effective because they will find everything in the same place. So they have the support, the notes with everything aside with a bunch of other features that allow to make the support of the course not a passive tool anymore, but an active tool. So first of all, let's see a few key points of the application, and then I will show you directly on a short demo. So the first thing, first of all, teachers, they are not impacted almost at all. Once the plugin, it's a filter plugin. Once the plugin is installed, teachers, they are not impacted. They can continue uploading their material as always, so files like PDF, PowerPoints, but also videos. And on the other side, students, they will have a tool, an additional tool to take note on it. So teachers, they are overwhelmed also with a lot of tools that have been introduced mainly also during the COVID pandemic. So it's quite good to not impact, again, the teachers with another tool. So students can take notes just with two clicks. They just have to go to the concerned support they need to follow. And then with two clicks, they can open the document in the Amanote interface and start taking notes. As I was saying, many extensions are already supported. So we support PDF, PowerPoints, all the Microsoft suite, but also videos that it's a very, very nice feature I will show you in a few minutes. So as I was saying, Amanote is a kind of learning knowledge base. So students can find really everything. So the material, they're enriched notes in the same place, and they can easily navigate in the document and also between among the documents, the different documents, also because they can organize them in what we call spaces. So they can really organize all the material of the course in only one screen, actually. And they can find back everything much, much easier. Something also very interesting is that they have the possibility to see everything they already highlighted and also the notes. It means that, for instance, in one nutshell, they have all the important information they highlighted during the course. And they can, of course, filter by colors, for instance. Let's say that they are using the yellow for definitions, green for examples, these kind of things. They can go back to prepare for the exam in a much easier way, sorry. So yeah, there is also a very important aspect of Amanote is that, as I was saying, we want to turn the static content, the static support, I mean, so we're talking about presentations, e-books, these kind of things in a more active, in a more active way. I mean, they can also interact between them. We have a collaboration feature. They can ask questions, share, I don't know, useful resources or also just commenting some resources. And that is, again, linked to the support and to the slide or the page where they are speaking, where they are writing, actually. And before to go directly to see what it looks like, as I was mentioning, there is the possibility as well to take notes directly on videos. It means that they don't have anymore to go on a video, take a screenshot, pass it on a text editor, maybe write down the timestamp of that moment where they want to refer. But here, it's more or less the same principle that we use for the documents. But here, the anchor base is the timestamp of the video. So when they write something, we link the note to the timestamp. So afterwards, when they want to rework on the notes and they want to review and prepare for something, for a test, for instance, they just have to click and go directly to the moment where they want to watch again the video. So let's go to see directly how it looks like. So here we are on, I think you can all recognize a Moodle here. So as you can see here, I have different format extensions of documents here. Mainly I have PDF and videos. Once the plugin is installed, as a student, when I go there, for instance, to download to take a support, so let's say a presentation, I will see this small icon that is appearing aside of each of the supported files. Well, the small tick icon here, it means that there are already notes inside this document. So as I was saying, in two clicks, students, it just has to click here. Well here I have other options because I have the teacher role, but when I click on open in Ammonoot, actually I have the support that is charging automatically in the Ammonoot interface and as a student I can, I don't know, it's not really visible, it's very clear, but anyway you get the point. So here there is, on the right side there is the part dedicated to the note taking, here is the document, and here there is the sidebar, as I was saying here, students can see directly all the documents already annotated in Moodle and eventually also add more documents and organize them in spaces. So the idea here is that I can navigate through the document, here I was doing a lot of demos since the beginning of Moodle, of the Moodle Moodle. So here on the right side I can write my notes. I have a bunch of features that are made to make easier the note taking. So I have the classical one, so the formatting one, and then I have the possibility to highlight to insert the famous horizontal line that we take when we write, sorry, when we write notes. We have as well an equation editor, something that is very, very used are the numbered notes here, as you can see. So students can insert these small numbers, drag and drop, where I want to write something, and in the small window that is appearing, the small block appearing here I can write my notes. I can also obviously draw directly on the slides or here on the part dedicated to the notes, and I can also type directly on the notes here. I can write something wherever I want. As you can see, those notes are linked to the page where I took those notes. It's possible as well to have a thumbnail view, to have an overview of the presentation of the document, and of course I can search by keyword in the document and in the notes. And I also mentioned before, it's a summary view as I said, so here as you can see you can find all the text that has been highlighted in one nutshell, as well as the notes. And at that point, again, as I said, I can filter to see only what I want to see, so I can also remove the notes, et cetera. There is the possibility to export the notes, so that's very important because that's meant really trying to get the permanent side of this material. So even for the structure, if for instance, a structure is adopting a minute officially for a semester, for one year, for instance, and then they want to stop, students are always able to export everything in PDF and keep for them. And for instance, if you choose PDF, you can find a way you can arrange the information. What else? We just released this week actually during the Moodal Mooda new feature allowing, so the notes, if maybe the question will come after, the notes are private to every student, sorry. But we just released the functionality, the feature, to allow students to send, to share their own notes with the teacher. So for instance, sometimes we have requests where teachers they want to evaluate the notes, the quality of the notes of the student. What else? Yeah, the other thing that I wanted to show you is the collaboration, as I was saying here, so I have, with the same concept, I can ask my question here, so I can type here, I have a tag, so if it's a question common or a comment or a helpful resource. And then on the other side of the students, they can engage the conversation. So as I was saying, the document, the support is not anymore something static, but it's something that is more engaging and making the student more active in front of it. Okay, that's it for the notes, more or less. If you want to have more information, please feel free to come to my booth at the end of the, just close to the stairs. I wanted to show you how it works in with video, how it's working with video, sorry. So I was saying here, as you can see here, there are small, I don't know how to call them, small sign here that are indicating that are already notes in that part. So as I was saying, I can add some notes here, I can write something. And those notes, so obviously I can go with the video. And if I'm here, for instance, when I click on add note, the note is automatically added and ordered, I know it's, yeah, there was a small back here. Okay, all right, but you get the point. So here when I want to, for instance, if I want to go back and watch again, a certain part of the video, I just have to click here. And the cursor is positioning directly where the note has been taken. And I can play from that moment. So instead of, as I was saying, instead of taking the screenshot from the video, writing down the instant where the note is referring, et cetera, I do it only with one click. I think that I, that's it for the moment from my side. So just a small conclusion, I go back to the presentation. A small conclusion that obviously there is not an universal solution. There will, there are, there will be always people and students continuing taking notes on paper. And they have, they must be free to choose what's the best solution for them. But as the digital notes are really taking more and more space in the, well, in the learning, in the learning domain, we think obviously that you, well, every, every structure should provide a good tool to take good notes and perform better in the, in the, in the learning process. So if you want more information, please feel free to go to our website. We have an institution page where, that you can consult. We also give away one free semester. So if you want to test it with the whole, with the whole amount of students you have in your structure, you're able to do it. And as I was saying, you're not obliged to continue using Amanut if you want to stop at the end. And obviously I will be happy to answer to your questions either at the booth here, either you can write me, you can drop me a few lines and I will be happy to, to schedule a meeting with Kalm after the Moodle Moodle and, and discuss, and discuss. Even if it makes presenting more efficient, you do have time for several questions. It's closer, well, I don't know if that's your wish. Hello, Kelly Fleming, Future Generations University. You explained how the student can take the notes when they're accessing the resource. Do you have a, when, when they're studying for the exam, how do they come back to those notes? Is there a different, or they just go back to the resource and have their notes? Or is there like a place where it all comes together? Yeah, sorry, I thought you might, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, sure, no, it's a good question. So either they go back to, well, it's, it's here. I'm sorry. Either they go back to Moodle and then they, they go back again and they open again, but the, the interesting thing is that here on the side bar, if they open Amano, they have all the documents that they've already annotated. So they have in one side, in one view, sorry, they have everything on the same, on the same place. I don't know if it's worth, if it was, yeah, yeah, yeah, thank you. Thank you. Hi, this is Ana from Sade, and this is a very interesting tool, really. Thank you. But I, I'd like to see, you say that the students now they, they, they are allowed to share notes. Sorry, they are allowed to share notes. And is there any way to grade those notes shared to the professor? Yeah, you mean collaborative notes. Yeah. Yeah. So far, we are working on it. So, so far, the only thing that, well, the only thing is that we are, what it, what it is, we are providing the collaborate tab here. So it's more about discussion. They, obviously, they can share a part of their notes, but we don't have yet. We are working on it because we, we have a lot of demands on that. So we're working on, on doing something collaborative to make common works. For instance, we, we, we hear that there are a lot of teachers that are creating groups of students that are creating common work and then to, to deliver it to the, to the, to the teacher. For the moment, it's only we, we have the possibility to collaborate like that and to send the notes to the teacher, but it's single one. And another question. The videos, you, you want to take notes. What kind of videos are they? Like YouTube videos or maybe Kaltura. We're using Kaltura. Can I take notes on, on these kind of videos? Actually, we are, so far, we are supporting YouTube, Vimeo and self-hosted videos. If Kaltura are, Kaltura is MP4 videos or it's, yeah, MP4, yeah, it's supported. So it's totally, and just, it's a, it's a good opportunity to say it. We are absolutely open to discuss about if there is a particular case with a really particular extension, we are open to discuss it every time. And we, we enlarge the, the extensions that we support. Thank you. Hello, good afternoon. Thank you for the presentation, really interesting. Two small questions. Is there like a white paper you can make drawings or stuff like that? You mean something, again, something? So you don't start from the resource? You just take? Actually, not really, because the, yeah, the focus here is really to, to start from the doc, from, from the material provided by someone else, by the teacher. Okay. So no, I get, no, no, not so far. And no drawing? You can draw, yeah. You can draw here. There is a possibility here to draw. There is something that you can, I don't know how to call it, sub, sub window that is opening. You can draw here and also directly here on the, on the slide. So you select the color you need it and you can draw. For instance, on a tablet, it's interesting to draw directly. Perfect, thank you. And can you collaborate with other students? Sorry? Can you collaborate with other students on the same? Yeah, the thing that was you, it's the collaborate feature so far. It's that one. So it's a tab that is allowing exchange, exchanging messages. So they are not seeing all you have done here. But you see with other students you share. It's like a forum that is linked to every page and it's easier to discuss on some information because you know already where you are, what you're talking about. Perfect, thank you. Joachim, thank you. It's linked to the page, not to the point of the page. To the page, to the page. Sorry, does it work together with big blue button? Actually, we don't have an official integration, but again, as I heard also for other applications, it can be used, I mean, side by side with other applications. There is nothing for the moment so far with an automatic integration. But we hear a lot of students, mainly also during the pandemic, that were using it while the teacher was making the course actually online and by remote. Thank you. Thank you. Go ahead. I just see you had a WSWIC editor for the comments. Does this editor also works with tech code? Because we are technical universities and students are keen to write some formulas in and discussing formulas. Is this possible? I have to say that, so the light tech code is supported in the equation editor. I have to say that we'll check it here. Yeah, there is here the same equation editor that is opening for the same, so also to write formulas in the comments. Obviously, you can also write directly the light tech code that is interpreted and automatically transformed. Yeah, but there are not a lot of people that are able to do it, but when it's the case, yes. It's our new university as well. Yeah, okay. Other questions? Go ahead. You just said it's a filter, right, technically. So what are your experience with other plugins which provide some additional content? For example, the PDF editor just comes to my mind or some other. If it is a filter, it should work, probably, or is there any really restriction to several activities where you say, okay, this works, this won't work. Won't work, just ask because you said that you have only three or four video platforms which you support at the moment. Are there any restrictions there? So if I have another... I'm sure you understand the question. There are some plugins where you have a special, another book, for example, the book plugin done differently. Does it simply work or do I have to expect some difficulties? Actually, we have a lot of extensions that are supported but not every kind of... So all, for instance, activities in Moodle are different. I don't know. Also, for instance, SCORM is not working like is it right now. We have to do adaptations in order to make it work. We are, as I was saying, we are enlarging day by day the number of activities or extensions that are supported. But yeah, every time we do it case by case when we face the opportunity and the need of doing it. We have to optimize and prioritize the work.
