Vevox is incredibly helpful when delivering a module for the first time - it allows me to check that students have understood the concepts I am teaching.
🎓 How Vevox Transformed Engagement
- The Approach: Seun integrated Vevox quizzes at the start of lectures and seminars, leveraging the students’ own devices (smartphones, laptops, and tablets) to engage them in active learning. By using Vevox's anonymity feature, students felt comfortable participating and providing feedback.
- Why Vevox?: With a focus on creating an inclusive and interactive learning environment, Vevox served as both a tool to check students’ understanding of concepts and a platform for students to provide informal feedback on teaching delivery.
- The Impact: Students appreciated the weekly formative assessments, with one noting how the Vevox exercises motivated them to prepare for seminars. Seun also found the instant feedback invaluable for improving her teaching and tailoring the content to her students' needs.
- Future Plans: Seun plans to continue using Vevox to foster understanding, improve teaching delivery, and encourage active learning in future modules.
