Vevox, the institutional classroom engagement tool, has recently rolled out a significant update, introducing several new features that enhance collaboration and data visualization. Here’s a quick rundown of what’s new:
1. Sort the Q+A board with labels
Tutors can now create labels for students to categorize their questions, streamlining discussions without interrupting the flow of sessions.
2. Optional Downvotes in Q&A
For more nuanced feedback, tutors can now enable a downvote option for students to sort in Q&A sessions, which is perfect for brainstorming activities.
3. Pie Charts
Multiple-choice poll results can now be displayed as vibrant pie charts, offering a clear visual representation of data.
4. Number Clouds
Similar to word clouds, number clouds provide an engaging way to visualize numeric poll responses.
5. Interactive Text Wall
Open Text poll responses are now displayed in an interactive format, allowing for easy spotlighting of individual responses. This is a really useful way to gather long-form text responses. Read how these are also controlled to reduce unhelpful comments.
6. Live Word Clouds in PowerPoint
PowerPoint users can now enjoy fully customizable, live word clouds directly in their presentations.
7. Enhanced LaTeX Support
The addition of the mhchem library allows for improved typesetting of chemical equations and molecular formulas.
