MediaNotes provides students who are learning new skills an easy way to receive objective feedback on their recorded performances. It's a video-annotation tool that lets learners and mentors mark up videos with tags and notes to identify strengths and areas of improvements. Instructors find the tagging feature particularly useful for reinforcing specific behaviors or enactments.
MediaNotes is free for professors, lecturers, librarians, and other staff of law schools who belong to CALI.
