Formerly known as LivingText LLC, LectureTools, Inc., a learning technology company, provides student engagement and assessment solutions to instructors and students. The company offers LectureTools, an interactive presentation tool that harnesses the potential of laptops and cell phones to serve as learning aids rather than distracting devices; LectureTools Concept Assessment Tool, which is used by faculty or researchers to diagnose student conceptions and to evaluate learning; and LectureTools for iPad that allows students to relay feedback to their instructor in real-time during lecture. Its LectureTools system provides professors with a solution that enhances lectures with digital content, provides real-time feedback from students, measures learning, and facilitates online collaboration.
