Students download
the app on their phones,
laptops, or tablets.
Students show up and
attend class just like
they normally would.
Attendance is automatically recorded with the time the student entered class and left the class based on our patent-pending classroom geo-fence.
Data is recorded in real-time and pushed to the campus LMS system and/or the registrars office.
Teachers gage the audience by pushing out questions, polls, or quizzes to their students during class.
Student answer via their own devices and grades are recorded and pushed to the LMS system.
Social tools within the app allow teachers and students to interact through chat channels and question creation.
A paper trail of engagement and comprehension is auto-recorded on a per student and class basis and ported over to the campus LMS system.
It is very accessible and easy to use. I think the idea and concept are brilliant. Compared to other apps to take participation points, CourseKey is much faster and easy to use.
I approached the CourseKey team wanting to put it in that class after my attendance dropped below fifty percent. Now, I have seen close to a 30 percent increase in attendance!
The open chat, I believe is a very beneficial way for students to communicate with each other and the professor.
My favorite part about the tool is the 24-7 classroom chat room. I have organized multiple study groups through it to help cram for my exams
The CourseKey app was simple to use once on the site. There was no issue navigating and I felt comfortable with the program.
