This document provides instructions for teachers on how to use the Citelighter research and writing platform. It outlines benefits for both students and teachers, such as allowing students to capture information from various sources, add comments, and organize research. For teachers, it allows them to create assignments, view student work through a "Cognitive Print" visual assessment, and provide comments. The rest of the document gives step-by-step instructions for teachers to create a class and assignment for students to use, including downloading the toolbar and setting up templates to scaffold the writing process.

class.
