Company Summary

Citelighter is a platform that helps students perform more effective research and writing assignments, while teaching them to think critically and solve problems. As students use Citelighter, our technology also provides teachers with a summary of the actions that each student takes during the research and writing processes. This allows teachers to provide more effective feedback to the student and to better understand how each individual learns.
