The key features in KF includes tools for the construction and storage of notes, tools for collaboration, scaffolds that direct users toward particular cognitive operations, and keywords that help users focus on concepts. KF has been used in regular educational programs at the primary, upper elementary, secondary and graduate school levels.

The ongoing practice of these operations helps users acquire the sorts of learning strategies that characterize expert learners.
