Hypersay

Opmerkingen: The benefits realised are a way to make lectures digital, engaging and fun. Student comments were positive and allowed for open discussion and checking learning as the course progressed - brilliant.

Pluspunten: The anonymity provided by the software gives 'voice' to students who usually never interact in lecture environments. In addition, asking questions as the lecture unfolds is extremely useful.

Minpunten: Students can change the poll after their initial choice

Opmerkingen: The fact that I managed to draw the attention of all my students, that they actively participated, I was able to improve my powerpoint presentation, that I could reuse the same presentation.

Pluspunten: My powerpoint presentation was able to improve it by adding open questions, polls, quizzes, videos, images, extra-content. I really like the feature that I can see in real-time students who are attentive and those who are not attentive to the lesson, and especially that I can see their answers in real time.
My students were very attentive in class, took notes, asked questions, actively participated in learning activities.

Minpunten: I didn't know that I can disable claps, but I discovered during the lesson. My students have greatly appreciated this feature and voted a lot...

Opmerkingen: I can provide, during lectures, a richer learning content that my students can also access outside classroom and explore at their own pace.

Pluspunten: First: Hypersay enhances the dynamics of my courses with polls and open questions displaying results in real time, as well as video content and links to further reading recommendations.
Second: My students follow the slides either on the classroom screen, or on their laptops and smartphones, so Hypersay is also a tool to fuel class engagement, to increase the attention span and focus.
Third: Customer service is great, always prompt and very helpful.

Minpunten: Once I upload my presentation, I can change the order of the slides, but I wish I could change also the content.

Pluspunten: I have been using Hypersay since August this year at three engineering classes at VIA University College in Denmark (approximately 80 students). The feedback has been very good. I am especially using the system to interact with students through questions and polls and they deliver answers, opinions etc. through the small groups that they are working in. This means that they get to discuss and deliver their thoughts in an efficient and for them satisfying way. At the end of the lectures I get feedback related to my teaching, the systems and the subject presented and that is without any doubt very beneficial for me as lecturer.

Minpunten: I would like that Hypersay would support teams in classes and that it would be easier to change the powerpoint directly once uploaded.

Opmerkingen: I use Hypersay regularly and will continue to do so.

Pluspunten: This venue allows student participation. Everyone is involved. The material is memorable using Hypersay.

Minpunten: I would like to develop the presentations in the software rather than uploading from Google Slides or Powerpoint.
