Onboarding Exercise Quiz is an individual orientation activity.  It provides students with course information.  And lecturers gain a good idea of the “profile” of their cohort.

The Online polling using mobile devices activity enables students to contribute feedback directly to each other and to the lecturer about their combined understanding of a particular concept either synchronously in class or during a webinar or asynchronously as they study in their own time.

Peer Motivation Through Content Curation encourages students to find and analyse information, organize it, share it with each other. Students learn from each other through social interaction around content. The curation can be viewed via a browser or a mobile app and alerts of new content are made via email.

Sharing the load enables students to apply and construct collective and collaborative note taking and summaries.  Joint note taking and summaries allows students to demonstrate their understanding of the topic or concept in a personal and meaningful way.
