Live-stream a lecture with the audience answering questions and giving feedback

1. Students can be too passive in online lectures.

2. We know that online viewers tend to disengage after a short time, however, when teaching at a distance the teacher cannot easily monitor the engagement state of the students.

3. Combine PRS and online lectures to give a greater depth of engagement and co-presence.

Solution overview

You can use this during a live online presentation, or combine a recorded lecture with a live online Q&A session.

The Vevox personal response system may be used with any videoconferencing (e.g. Starleaf, Teams) or live-streaming system (e.g. Echo 360), so long as the presenter's screen can be shown to the participants. The lecturer adds questions and activities to their Powerpoint in Windows (or uses the browser-based interface if they don't want to use Powerpoint or Windows), and creates a unique meeting ID for the participants to join the session using their computers, phones or tablets. This works regardless of where they are. Participants answer questions, and their responses may be shown on the screen of the presenter. Response data may also be saved for later analysis at the end of the session. All of the usual techniques may be used with remote students, including "check students' confidence and competency during a session" and "deepen and strengthen understanding with peer-learning loops" (see the page on in-class teaching for more information). A live feedback channel may also be used.

Watch this demo of using Vevox (browser based version) in a Teams video conference.

Process

1. Choose a live streaming or video conferencing tool (if more than 250 participants, you will need to use live streaming, contact AV Services for advice).

2. Follow the link to Vevox in the tools section below for comprehensive guidance and support in using Vevox.

3. You will need a Vevox account for this. To get a fully licensed account, complete the request form.

4. You then need to decide if you will embed the questions into PowerPoint using the Vevox add-in (Windows only), or use the browser-based interface. Design your questions so that they give you diagnostic information to check that the students really do understand what they need to understand. Don't over-do the questions, use them sparingly and effectively.

5. Create your questions in a Vevox meeting, and run them in your session. As the students respond, you all get to see their responses on the main screen, and can respond appropriately.

6. You can review the student responses after the lecture, to check the group's understanding.

Really great when it works but a little tricky to use as a first timer. Its definitely improved in recent months and the functionality is much better - having it integrated in a powerpoint means you don't have to switch screens all the time either! A second screen to have the vevox dashboard running and keep an eye on the back channel if you are using it is recommended though.

Remember to resest your questions if you run through your powerpoint and test the questions beforehand - we have had some confusing and glitchy sessions from forgetting to do that.

Wordclouds are a great way to break the ice and gauge student's understanding or feelings on a subject. In the Library we often begin sessions with the question 'What does the word Library mean to you' - inevitably the wordcloud is full of 'books' and 'study spaces' so it works as a good segway to the rest of our session and allows us to work out any particular areas we might need to address on the fly!

You can embed your metimeter presentations into Moodle courses adding the embed code to a Moodle page or book. Students will still have to use another tab or device to vote but this approach allows for asynchronous voting and the results will be visible to everyone via the Moodle page.

I found it helpful to test it beforehand with colleagues - to make sure I knew how to open and close polls, and how to share responses with students.

We asked students to watch videos about research styles before their seminar. In their Teams seminar, we asked them to reflect and vote on firstly which research style they most identify with, and secondly which they would ideally like to be - to start a brief discussion of different approaches.
