It also has simple security measures that allow the coordinator or teacher to verify attendance manually, connection, information and interaction of the users entered in their session.”
“This option is perfect for conducting courses and consulting remotely, and whose process is adapted to new technologies, and the way people currently want to access information. You can plan the content of your group consultancies, and carry it out through their virtual classrooms completely.”
“You have the possibility to send digital resources to users’ devices, which supports making sessions more dynamic. You can also interact with the students individually through a chat, or much better, create different groups to send information to only part of them, this option is also very useful if you want to raise different or specific points with each group.”
“As part of the interaction, it is also good to use the question and answer sessions or surveys while the classes are developing, since it allows you to verify that all the members are connected and receiving the information correctly.”
What Users Dislike About the App
“You don’t want to manually stop the service otherwise it will slow down quite a bit. It has a window that constantly runs in the background. You don’t want to shut that down.”
“Although its interface is highly intuitive and very well structured, I must indicate that the administrator must be careful when configuring the classroom of each teacher so as not to limit the advantages offered by the product.”
“For reasons unknown to me the program tends to slow down occasionally, so I have to restart it, causing some level of delay in activities.”
“I have had problems when using the software on Tablet, it can stay dapper, and I must enter again, which does not happen to me with the desktop version. It also makes it difficult for me to not have an attendance management tool, which leads me to have to validate this on my own, and it would be much better if the software did it automatically.”
“The service crashes very often and cannot function randomly and I need to restart my computer once a week usually!”
