Did you know the University of Worcester has a Vevox licence? If you haven’t tried it yet, now’s a great time to explore how it can help increase engagement in your teaching.
What is Vevox?
Vevox is a live polling and Q&A tool that works on any device. Students can answer polls, submit questions, vote in word clouds, or take part in quizzes – all in real time. It’s a quick way to make sessions more interactive, and it gives everyone a voice, not just the confident few.
How could you use it in your teaching?
- Start with a quick poll to check prior knowledge.
- Use quizzes mid-session to see if students are following along.
- Run word clouds to capture key themes or opinions.
- Open up anonymous Q&A so students can ask what’s really on their minds.
- Gather feedback at the end of a class to shape your next session.
How to access Vevox
Staff can access Vevox via the Staff Webpage > Academic Resources. It’s straightforward to log in and start creating polls, quizzes, or Q&A sessions for your students.
