As a Customer Success Manager for Education, many of the customers I work with have asked me for examples of how people are using Vevox to support virtual classes and training to help move their teaching and engagement online, keeping it interactive and inclusive. Working with and training people virtually isn’t new to me as I’ve worked predominantly from home for a number of years, but for many it’s a new concept and not being physically in a room with your colleagues or class is a new challenge.
Through speaking to customers, educators, lecturers and trainers, I thought I’d share some of the ways we’ve seen people adapt their ways of working in the higher education sector to create unmissable classes in different settings.
1. Synchronous Session – It’s really the same as if students are in the room
Zoom, Webex, Teams, Blackboard Collaborate – whatever the system you use for live classes and meetings, Vevox works alongside it.
The University of Southampton use Vevox to enable a way for students to ask questions anonymously. Managing student Q&A with Vevox makes it simple and more effective as lecturers can order questions, highlight them and remove them once addressed. The export of Q&A data at the end also allows for a way to have a record of all the questions and answers, so you can respond to any further questions that you didn’t have time to address in the live session. The institution continues to use live polling in the same way that they used it in the physical classroom, to effectively measure student understanding and gather opinions.
Discover a few ways the University of Southampton use Vevox in this webinar hosted by Award-Winning Professor David Read.
Hyflex will also become more widely used across univerisities where students have the choice of how they attend and participate in classes. Student collaboration tools like Vevox can allow for you to adapt your class activities (with no extra effort) but still cater for all, whether students are in the room or at home or the other side of the world, they can all equally participate in your Vevox session. Find out more how our University customers have been using Vevox in the switch to online learning in our webinar recording below.
