Flip (formerly Flipgrid) is a video discussion and video sharing app, free from Microsoft, built for classrooms and beyond. Learn more.

# data[].attributes.body
Teachers set up an account and create grids, which act as communities for students to work in.

Within each grid, the teacher creates prompts called topics, and students post video responses to the prompts and replies to each other’s videos.

# data[].attributes.body
Flipgrid can be used to facilitate the process of ice-breakers, demonstrations, assignments, feedbacks and reflections.

Flipgrid can show student's thinking (in a short video), rather than the result (in a written paper)

It makes inviting outside speakers easier (they can share their knowledge in 3-10 minutes remotely and leave), but I don't know whether CUHK discourages that.

Flipgrid allows teachers to organise the following kinds of stuff online (so it is hard to be replaced):

Floop helps teachers provide meaningful feedback efficiently by allowing students to photograph written homework.

The teacher can then comment on this homework directly (or do peer review). Students can see and respond to feedback instantly or ask questions privately

# data[].attributes.body
(As a TA)
Blackboard's preview function is awful. With multiple files and text submissions, it is better to download and organise the order of a single submission.
Blackboard does not allow teachers to leave comments on a submitted file and resend it to a student directly. Students can only check the overall grade, so they have to ask teachers later to learn or to correct.
Leaving comments in each student's assignment is time-consuming, so Floop has a comment bank to save and reuse previous comments.
Teachers need to check students' emails regularly to clarify their misunderstandings (before) and answer their questions (after). It makes things easier if teachers can leave comments first and reply to instant messages (via Floop) after the submission (students can ask questions on, like, why you leave a comment here)

# data[].attributes.body
They are better if you need to organise different types of class materials, ppt, pdf, docs, audio, other files.

Nearpod seems to have more interesting features and cooler layouts for students. However, its main target is for K-12 students, so some of its offered materials, like templates, may be too colourful.

Peardeck is for all levels of education, but it can be pricey for premium features, and it does not offer student-paced lessons.

# data[].attributes.body
There are more than 20 possible formative assessment/ polling & q&a/ instant feedback tools in the market.

# data[].attributes.body
In our excel, six software are listed under "Formative assessment tool & quick feedback": Socrative, Formative, Classkick, Floop, Gimkit and Blooket. They have their unique features and therefore not interchangeable.

Formative has great flexibility. Teachers can add contents like text block, video and docs and ask different types of questions, and students can see their answers (not just a short word / multiple choice answer) in real-time.

Classkick let students show their work in real-time on the web/pad (drawing on a pad is ok!) and teachers can give instant feedback too.

Floop allows teachers to give qualified feedbacks (put their feedbacks in the right position) while saving their time with a feedback/answer bank. Besides, it includes an instant messaging service so that students and graders can interact in real-time (and of course, if you finish the grading, you can close Floop 30 minutes later, to conserve your own private time).

Gimkit introduces a system to earn and spend virtual cash. You can "invest" in "upgrades" and "insurance" to score faster, and to earn points, students have to answer correctly.

Blooket (it seems to fit language class and maths class more though!) is one of the best gamification examples to make quiz fun.

Socrative does not offer any unique features, and it is not quite gamified. However, it has all possible features you will expect on a typical formative assessment tool, including quick questions, asking different types of questions, team competition, exit ticket, individual feedback and explanation, as a stand-alone product.

' No Hands' random student selector is a small windows utility that randomly selects a Name from a class list. It is based on the idea that by randomly selecting pupils to answer questions, students feel more comfortable in answering teachers questions, and all students are more attentive as anyone in the class may be asked the next question.

In practice, students love this quick and fair way of student selection, and teachers can never be accused of favouritism or picking on a student too frequently.

'No Hands' is particularly suited to use with a smart-board as the application can be loaded with many class lists (consisting of a list of names and times when the class is taught) positioned and locked on the smart-board. Then whenever you need to select a pupil, run the application and a student for the current class will be selected. Click again and another student will be picked. You can optionally lock the utility to the screen so that the little darlings don't close it when your back is turned, and you can make it sit on-top of your other windows. There is also a manual override for the automatic class selection.

Screen shots of the appliction running in ' Normal' and ' Locked' mode;

'No Hands' is a proven solution to a common classroom problem found in both primary and secondary schools. The utility already has an ever expanding user base, and I know from my own experience, that it is a great teaching tool to have in any classroom. Hope you like :)

The 'No Hands' utility is available here and is currently free of charge. It is to be used completely at your own risk, and by downloading and running the utility you are accepting these terms of use. If you have a version that has expired, then come back here to get the most up to date version available.

Q: Is there any more information?
A: More information about how to use and configure the utility may be found in the 'ReadMe.txt' file contained within the zipped download.

Q: What is the best way to run the utility?
A: It's best to save the 'No Hands' utility and your configuration file into a folder in your work area. Then create a link/shortcut to the utility, and place this on your Desktop so that it is readily available. (To create a shortcut, right click on the 'No Hands.exe' file, select 'Copy', then on your Desktop, right click, select 'Paste shortcut'.) If you want to run the utility from within a Power-Point presentation, Word Document or Smart Board Environment, first create a shortcut to the utility, then embed the shortcut into your document.

Q: The utility is great, but I need an iOS version?
A: There is currently no iOS version (or any other OS version) of the utility, nor are there any plans at the moment to produce one. If you are a MAC user then I am sure you are already well used to this trade-off situation, sorry.

Q: I have a question not covered by any of the info on this page?
A: The utility only does what it currently does. If you are having trouble getting it working then review the 'ReadMe.txt' file, or ask a helpful technician for some assistance. If you still have a problem then as a last resort you may email me with your question, however if I think your question is already covered in this page or the 'ReadMe.txt' file then I probably won't get back to you. If it's not already covered then I will add it to this page and email you back.

Q: I would like to suggest an improvement, what should I do?
A: Please feel free to suggest any improvements or provide feedback/comments of your experiences with the utility (by email). At some point I may update the utility and I already have many ideas as to how the utility can be improved, however this takes many man hours and time is something I don't have a great deal of at the moment!

Q: Some students seem to get selected more frequently than others, why isn't student selection completely random?
A: Well, that is exactly the point i.e. a random selection is exactly that - any Student can be the next student to be selected. Randomness does not mean that there won't be any repeats or patterns in the selection of students - see the cartoon here. This application is so effective for exactly this reason i.e. after a student has been selected, they cannot go back to sleep as they may be selected again, at random. The exception to this is that, in my own experience some students felt that the computer was picking on them, as a result of this, a 'no repeat' algorithm was implemented to ensure that at least two other students are selected before a student can be reselected. In this respect, student selection is no longer truly random!

Q: Can the utility make sure that once a student has been selected, that they will not be selected again until everybody else has had a go?
A: In short no, because students are selected at random. If a student knew that once they had been selected, they would not be selected again until everyone else had had a go, they might be tempted to just go to sleep in the corner. This 'lack' of functionality is therefore by design.

Q: Can I use my slideshow remote clicker or some other hardware to select another student?
A: Yes, once the utility is running, you can use any hardware that can be configured to generate a key press (actually a virtual-key press), to select another student. This can be a system wide key press, or just when the application has focus. There are a number of options that can be configured to suit your hardware and how you want to use it. See the configuration file (Key Hook section) for more information about how to use this facility.

Q: Can I use Unicode in configuration file?
A: The current version does have some support for Unicode, so if you need the facility, make sure the configuration file is saved in UTF8 format. You may need to configure Windows to use one of the ' English (...)' language options as a ' Display Language' in the ' Region and Language' settings in Control Panel. If you are looking for an alternative to Windows Notepad that supports UTF8 then I can recommend Notepad++.

Q: I think that this utility is fantastic and want to give you something really expensive as a token of my appreciation. Can I do this?
A: Yes you can! Alternatively if you would just like to drop me an email with some of your experiences when using this utility, then that would also be appreciated. I may get around to adding user experiences to this web page, and if I do, then please be assured that I will not publish any personal info, email addresses etc - just the gist of your experiences.

As the functionality of Wooclap is similar to Mentimeter (The two are direct competitors), I think it may be redundant to repeat the features again.

WooClap has the highest number of questioning styles of any formative assessment tool in the education market. Besides, it seems to have better integration with different LMS system (online comments from teachers, cannot verify)

# data[].attributes.body
While I believe Wooclap and Mentimeter are indifferent to most teachers in their premium plan (as the core features - polling and quizzing is enough for teaching), Wooclap offer many question types which other software does not offer, including 'Find on Image', 'Prioritisation', 'Sorting' and 'Brainstorming'.

In free version, Mentimeter is more preferred for a larger class to capture students' attention, while Wooclap is more preferred for a smaller class to have a deeper discussion.

Next big thing? No big deal. Three simple keys to the future.

Strategize & plan

Design customer-centric solutions

Foster a customer-centric mindset and build a mutual team space, where everyone can capture insights, structure them with diagrams and tables, and share it all in a central spot.

Accelerate time to market with a full suite of capabilities designed for innovation, including diagramming, real-time data visualization, and workshop facilitation. Miro also gives you built-in support for common product development processes, with agile practices like estimation and retrospectives.

Six core capabilities. Six ways to accelerate innovation.

Miro offers sophisticated bundles of capabilities built for all stages of innovation, from diagramming to workshops to code reviews, in a single integrated workspace designed for large-scale collaboration, eliminating tool silos and costs.

Workshops & async collaboration

Unlock faster, more engaged and more productive feedback cycles for deep collaborative work. By bringing together slides, real-time data visualizations, action items, and diagrams, you'll have everything you need to make good decisions, collected on a single board.

Diagramming & process mapping

Miro | The Visual Workspace for Innovation

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Miro is a visual workspace for innovation where teams manage projects, design products, and build the future together. Join 60M+ users from around the world.

Miro can be used for diagramming,  presentation, mind mapping, virtual whiteboard and video conferencing -depends on how you use it.

Teachers and Students can share their comments, memos, pictures, links and media... and work collaboratively on Miro's Wall.

Miro is very intuitive to use and it facilitates teacher-led digital experience, especially in online environment. You can use it for collecting thoughts and giving feedback, posting announcement and pre-class discussion questions, or share interesting course-related video with students easily.

The class can save, revisit, and build on ideas and projects in digital spaces

A bonus point is, Miro offers free education plan. CUHK teachers can register a educator account for free (which allows board control, attention management, HD resolution export, voting and timer...except video chat features, but we have Zoom already)

Mural, Lucidspark...other digitial whiteboard and collaboration tools

Miro is the largest company among them (maybe that's the reason they update more regularly and give free educator account)

They are pretty much the same in their core features (whiteboard and collaboration). If teachers are not looking for a specific feature, I would suggest Miro to you.
