 I'll just share my screen. Okay, well, thank you obviously for the kind introductions there, Christine. And obviously a big thank you to the guys for having us here today. So just to quickly introduce myself. So my name is Fraser. I'm one of the customer success managers within the education team here at VBOX. And for essentially those that don't know, VBOX is a student response and engagement platform. So ultimately our whole sort of ethos and what we're all about is increasing the levels of engagement and interactivity within the classroom and sort of boosting levels of general sort of interactivity and engagement across the board. But also just generally kind of providing an avenue for communication and just to try and enhance and make the learning experience a little bit more sort of fun and then exciting both for students as well as sort of teachers and lecturers as well. So the way that we do that within VBOX is primarily through polling questions. So interactive and engaging questions. Also through a Q&A board mechanism. So the sort of ability for sort of two way questioning and answers and both synchronous and asynchronous surveys as well. So all of which I'm gonna talk through on today's session. So I've got a bit of a presentation here initially but before we go and sort of look at the practical bits but just to introduce sort of the wider customer success team here at VBOX. So as I mentioned, I'm working in the education team but we also have a business and commercial and SME team as well and ultimately our job here in the customer success team is to really make the running of VBOX as smooth and seamless as possible for all of our customers. So whether that's through training sessions and engagement sessions and like the likes of today for example, being invited along and just general sort of support. We're obviously here to partner with our customers and really make VBOX as successful and as seamless as possible for them. So that's a little bit about myself and the team. So in terms of today's session, we're really gonna look at the whole product from top to bottom, we'll be at quite a high level just to kind of give you enough sort of information for what VBOX is all about and the certain things and functionality that is achievable through the product. So what we're gonna be doing initially is just looking at how to actually access VBOX and pretty much that resides in how to set up a new account if you haven't already got one. And from there, we'll be looking at how to create a new VBOX session within your account. We'll then go through the process of creating and running polls, looking at things like the Q&A board and surveys. And then depending on time, we may look at some of the other areas as well. So without further ado, I'm going to exit out of my presentation here and just flick over to my dashboard. So this is actually my VBOX account here. So this is what we're gonna be using throughout the course of today's demonstration. When you've created your own account, you'll be taken into a page that looks a little bit similar to this, although obviously without the sessions that were obviously pre-populated in my account here. And these are from demos and various sort of training sessions and things that we've run in the past. But in order to create a new VBOX account for the first time, simply all you need to do is navigate to signup.vvox.com. Just let that load for a second. Okay, and once you've done that, you will come to a screen that looks very similar to this. So from here, you can then actually go through the steps and start creating your own account. So what you need to do is populate an email and a password initially, and then you'll be taken through the steps to actually create your free account. And you can see we've got some other information on here as well that you can go through and have a look at, as well as a link to our trust pilot page. Now I have actually got some promotional discounts to talk about at the end of today's session. So if anybody's interested in actually signing up for a paid or premium account, then we are actually offering a particular promotional code at the moment, particularly for anyone who's joining today's session. So I'll talk more about that at the end. But let's go back to my dashboard here and actually just have a look through the platform. So if I wanna go ahead and create a new session in VBOX, which is pretty much the core part of the product here. So everything that takes place in VBOX happens inside a session. So whether that's our polling, our Q&A, our surveys, that all takes place inside of our session. So to actually create a new one, very simply, all we need to do is go to create session up here in the top left and then give our session a name. So I'll just populate something in here and then click create. And then once I've done that, as you can see, I'm then taken through into my new session. Now from within here, we then have our main navigation menu over here on the left. So we can access our polls, which is where we are currently, our Q&A, our surveys, as well as our data and our settings. We can also then access all of our sort of information and resource articles here as well. So things like our help center, which if I just very quickly demonstrate, we've got a full online sort of database and help center that can help you with any of the areas that you're looking for inside the platform. We've also got our YouTube channel just on our videos button there. So again, this will take you to our YouTube page. We're pretty sort of regularly active on here. So you can see lots of content and tips and tricks videos all about VBOX and sort of other personnel's use of the platform on our YouTube page. But generally speaking, as you can hopefully see, it's a pretty sort of simple and nice user-friendly interface within the platform here. Now, because we've just created this brand new session, and we can see that if I hover my mouse over my session name and ID at the top here, you can see it's automatically generated at a unique nine-digit ID. So every VBOX session has its own nine-digit code, and that is how our audience can then actually join this session from their side. Now, one thing to be aware of is this session is currently in a waiting state. So just one final thing we would need to do here, and that's to click our start session button. So that will then clear out banner notification, and this is now essentially a live session that's ready to go. So we would now be able to start inviting our participants to this and then actually going through the process of running any polls that we've created. So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna click my back to sessions list button here and just take us back to my landing page. And we're just gonna go through and actually look at the session here that I've already set up for the purposes of today. Now, within this session, we've actually already created a number of different polling questions. So you can see within here, these are all represented by the white boxes and the different images. And in a second, I'm going to ask you all to join this session and then we'll go through and run some of these questions through the present view. So essentially you'll be getting the feel for how VBOX works actually as an audience and participant members. So you should really get the full effect of what the platform has to offer. Just before we do that, however, just wanna very quickly talk about how we actually create our questions. So very simple. Again, all we need to do is inside of our polls menu. We would click on the create new button up here in the top left. And then this is gonna open up what we refer to as our question builder. So from within here using my dropdown at the top there, my question type dropdown, we can actually choose from eight different question types that we have inside the platform, all of which you can see on screen currently. So for this demonstration example, I will just stick with a multiple choice, which is probably the traditional sort of mostly used question type even today. And then all I need to do is then actually just program my question title. So for this I'm gonna put, what is the largest muscle in the human body? Okay, and then once I've programmed my question that I want to ask my audience, I then for my multiple choice question need to just go and program my multiple choice options. So I will go ahead and once again, put a couple of choices in here. And I can either do that by mousing into the next line below or clicking enter. Let's go for one more. And then what I can do from here is then actually define one of these options is the correct answer. So I would do that by clicking the show correct answer button next to the relevant one. So it looks like an A with a tick next to it. And you can see on doing that, I've now also unlocked my correct answer explanation. So I can then actually add some more sort of insight and context into why in this case the glutes is the correct answer to this question. And that will all happen when we do our big reveal on our present view. So I find everything I mentioned here is that we can also add imagery to our questions as well. So if I click on the insert image button next to our title there, I can either browse from my local machine here by clicking on the white box or if I click on the image library which uses unsplashes image library as we have a collaboration with them, I can actually type in a search for an image and I can pull that directly into my question. So I found this handy chap here that I quite like the look of. So I'm gonna go ahead and click save and then click create. And I've now just created a new, a brand new polling question. And then by default, that has put it at the bottom of my list. Now I can move that if I wanted to, I can put it to the top for example, but by default, you'll always add it to the bottom. So yeah, hopefully you've just seen from that really sort of quick process. You can go through and smash out, a number of questions very, very quickly with the simplicity of the question builder. But what I wanna do now is, like I said, is I wanna get you guys actually getting involved and joining this active session and we'll just go through and run a couple of these questions on the present view. So I'm gonna click over here and click on my present full screen button. And this is essentially the screen that one would share with their audience either sort of physically if they're in a classroom perhaps or a sort of teaching arena. Otherwise, this is the screen we'd also share if you would teach them remotely. So as we are right now, for example. So what you guys need to do in order to actually join this session is to just follow these joining instructions over here on the left. So basically all you need to do is on any web browser. So Google Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer, it doesn't matter, is navigate to Vvox.app. And then when prompt to do so, you just want to type in the nine digit code. So Vvox.app and then the nine digit code. Or alternatively, if I click on the QR code, you can then actually scan that with your smartphone. And then that will also then take you directly into this session as well. So I'll just give you guys a couple of seconds to do that there and then we'll go through and look at some of the questions. Obviously, if anybody has any problems as well getting access, then just shout. But I think I will move us forward. So hopefully everyone's managed to just join there but if not, just let me know. And what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna launch our first polling question. So when I move my mouse, we reveal this handy control bar down here at the bottom. So this basically controls all aspects of our present view. So if I click my green slash blue open poll button here, what that is going to do is launch our first polling question. So this is our word cloud question and it's asking us what was your favorite book as a child. As you can see, I can expand and reduce the image there but also you will see that on your own participant app. So if you guys just wanna go ahead and actually populate a couple of responses to this question, that would be good. And what I'll do is I'll click show results so that the results come into the word cloud straight away. So I'm gonna put a couple in here for myself and essentially with time, you will see your word cloud build and kind of shift and morph depending on all of your responses that are coming into the word cloud. Also the more a word is used and submitted into the word cloud, the larger it will appear. So if I go ahead and submit this, for example, we will now see that Deezoo is now the biggest item in the word cloud because it's now been mentioned the most. So obviously there's only a few of us on today's session. So you have to kind of imagine how this would look with a much larger audience, but word clouds are really great for sort of those icebreaker questions and initially kind of just engaging your audience. Also sort of preempting them for how you're actually gonna be using VBox throughout the rest of your session. But these are just really fun and also really quite visually impactful as well when you sort of get a nice big word cloud. So yeah, that's just a very quick look at a word cloud question guys. So thank you very much for your input on that there. So what I'll do is I'll close this poll and I'll move us on to the next question. And yeah, that was just a little comment there from someone in the chat regarding ALT. So we had some great word clouds at the OLC conference this year, absolutely. So yeah, you can kind of get a feel for how those can be used. So yeah, let's move us on to the next question. So this is just a standard multiple choice question guys. So very similar to what you just saw me set up earlier. But this is asking us great expectations, Oliver Twist and Bleak House Rule Titles by which famous author? So you just want to select on your participant app which one you believe to be the correct answer. Very simple, a click of your mouse or a tap of your finger with your phone. And I'll just give that a second there. So everybody has now responded to this question and I can see that using my response count there in the top right. So number on the right is representing the current participant we have in our session and the number on the left is a number of responses with we've had. So we've had three out of three there. So what I can do is now close my poll once I'm happy. And that will then reveal that everybody has voted for Charles Dickens in this case. So the final step as part of this question then guys is then to obviously actually reveal the correct answer. So once again on my control bar it's now just the next option along. So show correct answer. And that will then reveal that of course Charles Dickens is the correct answer to this question. So we can see that up here. And we can also see a bit of further sort of context and information about Charles Dickens here as well. So that's where that correct answer explanation will come in. So let's have a look at possibly one or two more. So I'm gonna run my next question here guys. So this one is our pin on image style question. I really like this one. So this is essentially where you have an image and then in the back end we can overlay where we believe to be the correct part of this question. So in this case is asking us on this image of the human skeleton, can you locate the patella? So all you need to do on your device is whether it's on your phone you simply wanna tap on the area and then submit your pin or if you joined on the participant app through your browser you want to click your mouse on the relevant part of the image to where you believe to be correct in this case where is the patella and then submit your pin and then that will send your submission through into the question. So I'll do the same as well on mine over here. And what I can do is I can show my results here again using my show results button. And again, that will then make the question live and dynamic at this point. So what I could actually do is clear my pin and clear my choice and then vote somewhere else entirely and then you'll see that will actually update live on the question. So essentially the audience can change their mind as much as they like right up until the last minute of when you actually close that poll off. But sometimes there are times when you might want to make the question live and dynamic like we did with the word cloud for example, but for some other ones, generally speaking we would advise that you don't do that just to sort of be careful not to sway opinions and thoughts of others in the audience by doing that. But let's close that one off there and finally reveal the correct answer once again. So yeah, thanks guys for your responses on that there but we can see that the patella is obviously the kneecap. So anybody who's gone within the knee area there obviously would have got a correct point as part of this question within that circle and we set those up behind the scenes in the question itself. And then we can also see again a bit of a sort of correct answer explanation, bit more context around the patella there. So I think that's probably everything we'll look at in terms of the questions there just sort of being conscious of time guys but hopefully that's giving you a nice flavor for the types of questions that we can run within the platform. Obviously we've only looked at three types there but there's eight in total. So really you're only actually limited by your sort of imagination with sort of what you're looking to set up and what you're looking to do but you can also click into your question selector on your toolbar. And you can jump back to previous questions for example, we can go back to our word cloud I can even rerun my word cloud if I wanted to but we could also jump forward as well so I could jump straight to question 12 for example and run that now. So you do have that flexibility as well. The other thing before we move on is that we also have a leaderboard in the platform as well. So if I click on my trophy icon there that will display the leaderboard and then that will reveal where you've actually come within that quiz there. So that is because someone knows questions have correct answers behind them. So on your device it will now tell you essentially where you came within that quiz. Now today's session is being run anonymously which is how most Vbox sessions typically are run. So no one is gonna be sort of named or shamed here but what we could do is we could run this session in an identified manner which would mean if I then clicked on my full list button we would actually see an individual sort of itemization of where everybody came within that quiz. So you do also have the ability to run Vbox like that as well. Okay, so I think we'll close the leaderboard there and have a quick chat now about the Q&A board. So like I said, we've looked at a few different polling questions there and hopefully that's given you a nice sort of flavor guides for the types of things that there are actually achievable within the platform. But by default when we're not running any polls this is our screen that will display on our present view but this also doubles as our Q&A board. So on your participant app which will look a little bit something like this you actually have a second tab in here which looks like a little speech bubble icon and you have the ability to actually populate questions into here. So if I was to go ahead and type in just populate something in there and then go back to my Q&A board you can see that that has now actually come through onto the live Q&A board. So this is a really nice way to sort of get your audience involved within a sort of another aspect so they can actually post comments and questions into the session directly. So you guys are more than welcome to post comments and things in here if you want to sort of test how that functionality works but from a host point of view and a functionality point of view what we can do is actually then expand that question so we can click on that comment there and then if this was a legitimate question for example we could then go through and then address that with our entire audience have a bit of a general discussion about it sort of get some ideas and things flying around in the room and then when we're happy we can then go ahead and hide that question and then move on to the next one. So if I just put another one in here again just to show you that you can also like each other's questions as well so this is really good for the students because they can kind of like each other's comments and things that have come into the Q&A so I can like my own question there and you guys have just done that as well so you can see that then that has boosted the amount of likes for that question and by default the Q&A board will filter based on the most liked questions so this is a really nice way to kind of identify the questions that are most important to everybody else as well but you can also change that and filter by the most recent so it really just depends on what you're looking to do there but the Q&A board is just a really good way to sort of get everybody involved allow them to be a bit more expressive and almost have that sort of direct line of communication to you the host and then the sort of teacher in that scenario. It's also really good to be able to actually have the anonymity that V-vox offers as well so when you're running that session anonymously like we are today, something like the V-vox Q&A board should hopefully empower everybody even the quietest sort of voice in the room to still feel confident enough to be able to ask a question or a comment into something like the Q&A. So I'll just hide my question here from earlier at least we've actually had a legitimate question come through so someone's asked is it possible to share follow-up questions on someone else's questions? Yes, you can do. So what you could do as of right now is you could download the Q&A board after your session as a sort of Excel export and then you can actually go through and respond to questions that have come in like that. We are actually working sort of internally on a mechanism as well in terms of actually being able to respond to other people's questions more easily inside the platform. So at the moment it's really more for capturing questions and responses as opposed to responding to them but you could sort of do that audibly by sort of just sort of discussing the question as we would normally do but we are actually sort of working on how we can actually make that a bit more efficient as well within our sort of product roadmap. Okay, so what I'm gonna do guys is just to keep us on time and hopefully that's answered that question there but we can dive into that a bit more afterwards if needed. I'm gonna exit out of my full screen here and I'll come back to any of these questions that have come in at the end. So if you guys do have any legitimate questions that you wanna throw into the Q&A board based on anything you've seen in the session so far or in general, yeah, please feel free to fire those in and we'll sort of come back and review those at the end. So just to quickly mention as well, we do also have the ability as a host to submit a message as well. So I can again program my host message in here and then you can see that laying places through onto the Q&A board in a slightly more distinct fashion so you can see that it's come from me, the host. Also within our Q&A tab and this is essentially the backend of the Q&A board if you think of it like that. We also have the archive tab so you can see those questions I archived earlier that haven't disappeared. They're just now in another area but we can also do things like enable moderation on the Q&A so that essentially adds like a layer of sort of security if you will as it means all of the questions have to be actually physically published into the Q&A first before they will automatically appear. So we do also have that as well. So just to keep us on time we'll have a quick look at these surveys as well. So within VVox you also have the ability to run surveys so this is designed more for the sort of asynchronous sort of style of teaching and I have a geography quiz here that I'm actually gonna start there. Just clicking my start quiz button and again on your participant app you should now see a third tab having now appeared. Looks like a little clipboard with a red dot above it and if you click on that you will then be able to go through and just experience what this self-paced quiz looks like from a student's perspective. So with the quizzes or sorry with the surveys you have the ability to run surveys and quizzes. So they are sort of two separate things in the platform but like I say these are really good for the sort of asynchronous style of teaching. So the sort of idea being that these can be entirely completed in students' own time. So that quiz scenario there that I've just launched is fully self-paced so when you go through it it will tell you where you went wrong on your questions, where you went right and then on those scenarios where you went wrong it will sort of give you more information around why you went wrong as well. So really good for sort of additional activities that are there in the platform. The way you create these surveys is very similar to how we created those polling questions earlier. So you would just click create new, give your survey a name and a bit of a description and then you would just build your questions out using the question builder there. So I think that's kind of everything I wanted to show you guys on the present view here. I will just mention that we also have our data tab. So this is pretty much where all of your data for your session will be held. So we'll see things like levels of participation in the engagement. We can see number of poll responses and things like that. And if I scroll down I can see the actual individual results of all of our questions that we ran earlier and all of these can then be downloaded as images afterwards as well. It's also worth mentioning you can download a data report. I sort of alluded to it earlier, but you can download a fully comprehensive Excel output of your entire VVoc session. And then that will give you even more sort of data and information than what's available here. And then just finally, I think I mentioned that you've also then got your settings tab. So just kind of conscious of time. We won't go through this now, but essentially this is where you would go through and control all different avenues of how your session behaves. So we can have things like a contents to the session and a bit of a agenda. We can apply things like theming and customizations. We can change the level of identification. So whether we're running that anonymously versus identified, we can change things like our sort of general display features. So all of the settings in here can be tailored based on that particular session and depending on what you're looking to do at that moment in time. So I think that is everything I wanted to show you guys today in terms of the present view. So what I'm gonna do is just very quickly go back to my presentation here and just talk through another couple of areas very quickly. So as I mentioned, we do have lots of support resources available at VVoc. So that's including our YouTube channel, our help center I mentioned earlier. We do also have a fully live chat function baked into the platform as well. So support is always on hand for whenever you need it at any point in time. We also have a support mailbox at support.vvox.com. And the final thing that I would mention is that we also have a PowerPoint add-in as well. So pretty much everything you've just seen today in terms of, well, particularly the polling, the questions that we've created, we could also have created those and run those questions directly through my PowerPoint deck here. So we do also have a native PowerPoint add-in as well. So you also have an alternative workflow for how you would like to use VVocs. So as mentioned, guys, we've got our YouTube channel that you can use to keep up to date on all of our sort of content and iterations and things that come into the platform in terms of product updates and things, as well as our newsletter. So if anybody's interested, definitely always recommend having a look at that there and subscribe into the newsletter to keep informed. But the final thing I wanted to mention is that I have some good news for anyone on the session today and anybody who's watching this recording at a later date. And for you guys, we've offered a special promotional activity which will remain active over the next few weeks or so. And that's for anybody who would like to actually sign up to either a starter or premium education plan, all of which you can do on our website. So on our main website, just to very quickly show you, apologies, that's the wrong one there. So within education, so on our main website, you've got our education pricing and plans here. So if anybody wants to, obviously, you have the free plan, guys, that is always available to you. That's not going anywhere anytime soon. But this will tell you the levels of functionality that is available within each of the plans. Now, if anybody does want to explore some of the more premium plans here, such as the starter or pro plans, then as I mentioned, we are offering a promotional discount code for you all for the next few weeks or so. And that is AmplifyFE. It doesn't matter about the case sensitivity. So it's just literally AmplifyFE. And that will then give you 40% off any of those plans. So that is just something that I thought I would mention because that's something that we've done specifically for you guys today. So I think without further ado, happy to take any questions at this point. So I know there was something that popped into the Q&A. So I'll just go back to that quickly and have a look at that. So yeah, if anybody does have any final questions, guys that you want to fire through into the Q&A board here, you're welcome to do that or into the chat here. So let's have a look at this one very quickly. So on polls, is it possible to have explanations for incorrect answers, although this might not work with the live interaction of polls? Yeah, good question. This is actually something that has come up before around being able to sort of have different explanations for different responses. It's not something that's in place at the moment, but it is something that has actually come up before in the past. So I believe it is something that we would potentially look into in the future within our product roadmap. But at the moment, it's not something that's in the platform right now. So the correct answer explanations are only available on, well, it's actually a generic box, essentially. So you could really put in there whatever you wanted, but generally most of the time, people will put in there the explanation around the correct answer. But it is just an open text field. So you could actually, if you wanted to expand on that and then talk about why some of those other options are incorrect, if that makes sense. So you could technically do that as it is just an open text field, but it's not specific per response type, if that makes sense. But like I say, that may be something that we look at into the future. But really good question though. Thank you very much for that. But yeah, I can't see anything further coming into the Q&A here guys. Oh, no, stand corrected. There's one here. So can a quiz remain open after a live class for students to complete later as long as the viewer session is open? Yeah, really good question and absolutely. So basically a Vivoch session is open indefinitely. So the session that we're running here today, for example, this will remain open unless I physically go into my, to my session ID up here and end the session. So yeah, it's not sort of time limited. This will stay open for as long as I basically want it to stay open really. But one sort of key point I would make here is that you can only have one live poll open at a time. So the live polls that we ran earlier, so all of these ones that we've got here, we could open any one of these polls, but only one poll can remain open at a given time on the live polling. But that is then where your surveys would come in. So things like your surveys or your quizzes. So there is a distinction between the two. They can be left open again for as long as you like and then students can come in and respond to those surveys whenever. And actually a little tip around that is if I just go to my, whoops, very sorry, back to my tab here and I bring up my participant app. So what you could do is you could copy the URL. So if you open this as a participant, which you can really easily do from inside the platform. So again, just hover over your session ID and then you would click open participant app. So now this is essentially giving you the view that you would see if you're an attendee or a student, for example, which is actually quite nice to be able to test your own sessions, for example, if you wanted to do that before you actually run it live. But what you can do is if you navigate to your surveys tab and then you copy the URL exactly as it is with the survey suffix there, we can then copy this and then paste this somewhere else. And then the students will be able to directly access that survey. So for example, they will be able to just click on that link straight away and they will be taken directly into the server that you set up. So that's also a really easy way to distribute any of the surveys that you've got configured. So that's just another quick little tip for you there as well. So hopefully that's answered that question there, but yeah, really, really good point and thank you for raising that one. If there's any more questions that anybody wants to submit through, obviously please feel free to do that now. Otherwise, I think we're probably just about on time. I know we started a little bit later, so. But yeah, I think that's probably about it guys in terms of everything I wanted to show you and just a big thank you for me for attending today. And obviously if you're watching this recording afterwards as well, then a big thank you as well. And if anybody does want any additional information after watching this, then obviously don't hesitate to get in touch with us and we'll do what we can to support you. But yeah, a big thank you once again and thank you to the guys for having us here today. And I hope you will have a good rest of the afternoon and week ahead. Perfect, thank you Fraser. That was really interesting. It's great to see an insight into how VVocs works properly. Finally have some time to look into it as well. So yeah, excellent. I'm gonna stop the recording now and of course we'll be sending that out to everyone that has registered and circulating it on Twitter as well and all of our other platforms.
