Zaption released Presenter last month, a way to stream a video lesson for the entire class to watch together while allowing for students to join the presentation on their own device to interact and respond individually. Presenter allows:
- teachers to ask questions on the fly
- students to type questions while the video is playing
- teachers to receive real-time data
In playing with Presenter, I realized that it would be the perfect tool to create a backchannel during an in-class video lesson. A backchannel can be an effective way to engage all types of learners in a classroom discussion.
I created the below video to explain how I’ve used the Ask a Question feature in Zaption Presenter to create this backchannel opportunity:
