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.

9. Lester Lefton
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.
