1 00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:08,520 Hello everyone and welcome to Ed Up Ed Tech and Demos. 2 00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,920 We are super pumped for this afternoon session. 3 00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,280 We have a great thing about to happen and I'm really excited 4 00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,280 for all of you and myself to see this demo. 5 00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,960 So we have Kavita and from Nectar, she's the CEO and 6 00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,160 Founder and she has a friend with her, Vicki as well, who 7 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,680 she's going to introduce and we're super pumped today to 8 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,080 share this tool with you. It is one that I just recently 9 00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,880 ran into, you know, and I'm excited to learn more about it. 10 00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,000 So I'm gonna turn it over and you can take it away. 11 00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,960 Awesome. Thank you so much, Holly. 12 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,600 Thank you everyone for joining us. 13 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,720 My name is Kavita. I am the cofounder and CEO here 14 00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,960 at Nectar and here with me today I have. 15 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,920 Vicki, our director. Of community she manages. 16 00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,960 All of our active schools. And has a depth of experience 17 00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,120 working in the resident departments at UC Santa Barbara. 18 00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,920 And so she's going to help me out today with once we go 19 00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,640 through the demo, actually getting all of you guys into our 20 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,400 nectar sandbox so you can try it out. 21 00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,400 So I'm going to go ahead and start. 22 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,560 Off with the story. Of Nectar. 23 00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,800 I think that the founder fit here and why we actually built 24 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,840 this as students ourselves is one of the most important parts 25 00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,800 of the product. And when we do our onboarding 26 00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,840 for schools and we go through our training workshops, we 27 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,080 always let the instructors know to tell your students that this 28 00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,960 was built by students who experienced the exact same 29 00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:36,840 problems that they did. And we're really building this 30 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,800 in order to help them get the educational experience that. 31 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,640 We felt we deserved, so to take. It back to the beginning. 32 00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,600 Nectar was never supposed to be a company. 33 00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,040 It was simply something that my Co founder Jordan and I made 34 00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,080 while we were undergrad students at UC Santa. 35 00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,960 Barbara because. We needed it in our own classes 36 00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,160 and we couldn't find it. So for me coming into this, I am 37 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,560 autistic and I have ADHD, so no classroom that I've ever been in 38 00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,240 before has felt comfortable or safe for my brain to be in. 39 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,680 And then I got to college and I started paying $40,000 to be 40 00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,280 really uncomfortable. And that's when it became enough 41 00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,280 of a pain point for me. That I said, OK, I've either got 42 00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,240 a drop out or I've got. To do something about it, but I 43 00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,880 had no idea what that something was until I took a class that 44 00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,200 showed me what a modern education could really look 45 00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,040 like. So the summer between my 46 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,760 sophomore and junior year, I ended up taking a class that was 47 00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,440 taught by a grad student instructor. 48 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,560 So he was a little bit younger and more tech savvy, but most 49 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,720 importantly he was a student himself. 50 00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,080 So similar to us creating nectar, he understood the 51 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,240 problems that students were having and wanted to solve for 52 00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,720 that upfront. So we walk in on the first day 53 00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,440 of class and Spencer sits us down and before. 54 00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,840 He says a word. He turns around and he writes 55 00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,360 the link to a Slack workspace on the board and he turns back to 56 00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,000 us and he says we're going to do this Class A little differently 57 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,400 and I need you to trust me, he said. 58 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,240 I don't want you to raise your hand in class. 59 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,160 I don't want you to send me or the TAA single e-mail. 60 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,240 I don't even want you to come into office hours, he said. 61 00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,600 If you have any issues, and then whether it's in the middle. 62 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,680 Of lecture or it's? 3:00 in the morning before the 63 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,440 midterm, your first line of action is going to be to put 64 00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,400 your question in the Slack chat, because I guarantee that one of 65 00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,000 the 149 people around you will have a better and faster answer 66 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,840 for you than you or the TA will. And he said on top of that, if 67 00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,960 you answer someone's question really well. 68 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,560 I'll give you extra credit for it. 69 00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:30,680 Because that lets me know that you understand the material so 70 00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,520 well, you can then turn around and teach to the person next to 71 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,040 you. Which is actually the highest. 72 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,520 Level of mastery that you can achieve. 73 00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,120 And he said, even beyond that, this is my instant feedback loop 74 00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,640 into your brain. So based on how you're asking 75 00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,480 and answering each other's questions, I as the teacher will 76 00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,720 know whether I've done a good job at teaching you that 77 00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,600 concept. It was the first class I've 78 00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,840 ever. Taken where I didn't have to 79 00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,080 speak up and say I didn't understand something, Spencer 80 00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,480 would immediately catch it in the conversation. 81 00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,560 And if I still did need help, I always had the answer accessible 82 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,520 to me within 5 minutes. I wasn't waiting two days to get 83 00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,520 a response. I had somebody there that could 84 00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,920 always answer it in a language that I would understand. 85 00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,800 And every time someone did answer a question, it was an 86 00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,280 opportunity to make a new friend. 87 00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,720 So what Spencer did was almost bring this Trojan horse into 88 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,400 class, where he put community at the center of the learning 89 00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,920 experience and incentivized us to learn with the thing that we 90 00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,280 were most excited about in college, which was making 91 00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:32,320 friends and building our network in our community in order. 92 00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,320 To be part of that. Classroom community. 93 00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,040 You had to understand the material enough that you could 94 00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,480 engage with the students around you and answer their questions. 95 00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,800 I left that class with the highest. 96 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,400 Grade that I got in college and more friends than I had ever 97 00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,000 made before, and I was like a dog with a bone. 98 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,800 I said that was it. Put Slack in all of my classes 99 00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,680 and it solves our issues. So I approached UCSB and I said 100 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,560 somebody explained to me, if me and 26,000 other people are 101 00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,040 paying you $40,000 a year, why can't you put Slack in all of 102 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:02,840 our? Classes. 103 00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,120 And UCSB was kind enough to sit me down with their instructional 104 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,120 design department and walk me through. 105 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,800 The logistical hell of. Putting a separate Slack 106 00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,760 workspace in 1500. Classes every quarter. 107 00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,880 Teaching professors who are on average. 55 How to? 108 00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,160 Use an enterprise level tool and then paying an enterprise level 109 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,240 cost for 26,000 students. Every year, they said. 110 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,880 It sounds good in theory, and maybe you have one or two 111 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,080 instructors. Use the free. 112 00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,520 Version the way that you just saw. 113 00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,160 But this will never work across an entire campus because Slack 114 00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,240 isn't built for schools. And I think in that moment you 115 00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,160 could see a. Literal light bulb appear. 116 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,360 Above my head. Because, I said. 117 00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,320 Well, if Slack isn't built for schools, then I'm going to go. 118 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,400 Build it. I will spare you the bloody gory 119 00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,160 details, but. Jordan, my Co founder and I 120 00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,080 spent the next year in that same office with UCS BS instructional 121 00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,520 Design department and said. Tell us exactly what you would 122 00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,040 buy. What would SLAC have to do? 123 00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,240 In order. For you to be able. 124 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,040 To bring this to the entire campus down to how much should 125 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,840 it cost and how should it integrate with the LMS, and we 126 00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:10,360 built exactly that and a year. Later we got. 127 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,480 All 26,000 students at UCSB using Nectar in almost every 128 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,200 single one of their classes, with the instructors being the 129 00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:18,960 champion of it. And we got. 130 00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,400 UCSB to pay us five figures a year for it. 131 00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,400 So we got our tuition back, which was awesome. 132 00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:27,880 After that, we went on to raise $2,000,000 to build out the team 133 00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,760 and we've now been able to put Nectar in over 40 campuses 134 00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,440 around the world, both K12 and higher Ed. 135 00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,120 So we are really excited. To not only have been able to 136 00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,720 solve. That issue for ourselves. 137 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,120 While we were in school and for all of our peers. 138 00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:42,960 But now to. Be able to go deliver. 139 00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,160 This modern learning experience to students around the world. 140 00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,240 Because we really do believe that this is what the classroom 141 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,720 of the future will look like. It will look like. 142 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,760 Students teaching each other and learning how to be part of a 143 00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,200 community and finding the answers amongst themselves so 144 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,960 that they can take agency over their own learning experience. 145 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,440 And we've seen some. Incredible results so far so. 146 00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:05,840 I'm going to go. Through these slides pretty 147 00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:07,280 quickly. Because I know we want to see 148 00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:10,960 the actual product itself and jump into it, but really what I 149 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,440 want to share. With you is the fact that. 150 00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,640 What we're doing here is we're on a mission to democratize 151 00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,960 access to educational resources. Sounds fluffy, but what that 152 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,680 really means is every student should have the accessibility in 153 00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,800 every classroom to get the information they need right 154 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,000 away. The modern classroom. 155 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,880 Should be a place where. Students feel. 156 00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,560 Safe. To be themselves around each 157 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,200 other and their instructor in TA. 158 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,720 So we're really trying to put everyone on the same level so 159 00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,120 that you can have these candid conversations about the material 160 00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,920 and that's where you see that authentic engagement start to 161 00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,640 happen as a student. Myself, I felt like I. 162 00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,960 Was being given all of these tools like the LMS forum that 163 00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,040 were outdated and felt like they weren't really made for me to 164 00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,000 learn, but rather for me to just get participation points but 165 00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,800 when you meet students? Where they are with. 166 00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,960 Technology, they actually understand. 167 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,560 That is when you start to see that authentic engagement and So 168 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,000 what nectar. Allows you to do is. 169 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,520 Create an AI enabled classroom back channel that integrates 170 00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,880 directly with your LMS and so I'm sure. 171 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,400 You've heard of the LTI? Integration we. 172 00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,760 Actually take that a step. Further and we integrate Nectar 173 00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,280 and I frame it right within your LMS so that you don't have to 174 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,560 pop out to a different window. It's one seamless experience 175 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,200 right inside of your class page and it'll auto create a channel 176 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,360 for every class on campus and then auto add your students, 177 00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,480 your TA, and your instructor into it. 178 00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,320 Because we want to remove that human onboarding aspect 179 00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,080 completely, we should automatically be able to onboard 180 00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,840 an entire campus at once if we want to, or even just start 181 00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,600 department by department or. Class by class, so we've. 182 00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,600 Built it to be incredibly customizable to any campus of 183 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,360 any size and again I give. All of the credit to. 184 00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,840 UCSB for teaching us. Exactly what to build that other 185 00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,960 edtech tools? Haven't been able to accomplish 186 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,360 and that's why we've been able to see the engagement be so 187 00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,440 high. So this should give. 188 00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,960 You a quick idea of. What Nectar looks like really 189 00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,600 what we're trying to do is take aspects like Slack and Discord 190 00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,440 tools that students and. Teachers are already used to. 191 00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,480 Using and bring that into the classroom so that they 192 00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,720 intuitively know how to use it and you don't have that huge 193 00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,760 learning curve of what am I supposed to be doing. 194 00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,840 Here for most students. They already have unofficial 195 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,840 group. Chats outside of the classroom. 196 00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,680 That they're using but when you look. 197 00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:30,560 At research, it shows. That back channel technology 198 00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:34,440 only becomes a pedagogical tool once the instructor is present 199 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,440 in those spaces. That is how you. 200 00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,120 See consistent engagement all the way through the term. 201 00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:40,520 Otherwise, the conversation, usually. 202 00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,680 Drops off. And so, like I said, what Nectar 203 00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:48,920 truly is, is a back channel, and that is a conversation that 204 00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,520 happens alongside the primary instruction, so as a. 205 00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,560 Teacher, you get to decide. Whether nectar is used after 206 00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:58,120 hours when students get home, and that's when they're asking 207 00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,680 questions to each other. Or if this is a tool that helps 208 00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:03,440 you do. Synchronous discussion during 209 00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:04,600 lecture. Itself, so that. 210 00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,280 You don't have this turn taking issue and everyone can actually 211 00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,680 put their opinion in at once. So it's really up to you how. 212 00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:13,560 You want to set up your classroom community and you 213 00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:16,280 really want to give that agency or to your students by letting 214 00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,760 them know. Here's how I plan for us to 215 00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,880 build this community, and here's how I want you to participate in 216 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,520 it. And I think the most exciting 217 00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,840 part, and what people have really wanted to know for a 218 00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,440 while, is about SOMA. So eight months ago we released 219 00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,800 Soma. She is our AI teaching assistant 220 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,040 and everyone's favorite feature within Nectar. 221 00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,720 Essentially what we want it to. Do is allow you? 222 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,800 In a FERPA and COPPA compliant way to bring in technology like 223 00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,560 ChatGPT into the classroom but ensure. 224 00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:46,280 That you have visibility over how your. 225 00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,120 Students are using AI and the content that the. 226 00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,200 AI is able to. Give back to your students. 227 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,720 So we did. About 1000 user interviews 228 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,200 before we even started building SOMA and we asked teachers from 229 00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,680 around the world. What? 230 00:10:58,680 --> 00:11:02,680 Scares you the most about AI and if you had a magic wand, what 231 00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:04,960 would you never want to do again in the classroom? 232 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,920 And what we heard from them was I'm so scared that my students 233 00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,960 are going to go to ChatGPT and get information that isn't 234 00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,240 correct and I won't know and I won't be able to correct it in 235 00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,320 time. And then once it's in their 236 00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,160 brain, it's there for good. And the other part of if you had 237 00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,160 a magic wand and you never had to do something again, they 238 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,000 said. I want to stop answering the 239 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,480 same questions that are on the. Syllabus. 240 00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:30,600 A dozen. Times in my e-mail inbox. 241 00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,080 I wish that students knew how to go find that information in the 242 00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,600 syllabus themselves, and so those are the exact things that 243 00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,960 we fixed with Soma. She is an AI teaching assistant 244 00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,080 that sits inside of every Nectar class channel and the teacher 245 00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,600 can toggle her on or off at any time they choose and then the 246 00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,360 teacher decides which information they upload to Soma. 247 00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,160 Such as the syllabus. Or their lecture materials. 248 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,640 And that will set the parameters for what soma is able to answer 249 00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,040 for the students in that class. So if you have not uploaded a 250 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,080 document about the material, soma cannot answer it for the 251 00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,880 students. She will not be pulling that 252 00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,720 information from GPT. 4. And giving them any random old 253 00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,360 answer. And on top of that, every answer 254 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,200 that Soma gives is tracked. It can be seen by the instructor 255 00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,720 and on top of that it. Shows you the source of. 256 00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,520 Where that information came from, So it'll actually link 257 00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,320 your students. Directly to the syllabus. 258 00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,760 Or the lecture material that that piece of information is 259 00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,040 coming from. So we'll show you how to use. 260 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,200 This and we'll give you an opportunity to test out Soma 261 00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,480 yourself and even create your own channel and upload your own 262 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,240 information to Soma, which again completely FERPA and COPPA 263 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,000 compliant. We're keeping your proprietary 264 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,520 information safe. We don't even get to see it on 265 00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,240 our end. So you have no worries about 266 00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,240 using it within your class with your proprietary information. 267 00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,160 So I think one of the most exciting parts is that we have 268 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,720 finally been able. To see the pedagogical effects. 269 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,040 Of Nectar on a campus, We knew that this was going to affect 270 00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,800 the student's sense of belonging and give them a place to 271 00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,880 authentically engage. But that is. 272 00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,440 Already translated into us being able to see that in classes that 273 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,600 use nectar we're able to increase. 274 00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,360 The class average. By an entire letter grade. 275 00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,400 It's incredible to see that happen. 276 00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,640 And really when you ask and survey the students on why is 277 00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,920 this happening, it's because the information they need is 278 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,120 accessible to them right when they need it. 279 00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,960 They're not waiting for an e-mail response from the TA or 280 00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,240 the instructor. They're able to go find that 281 00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,160 information themselves and continue their learning journey 282 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,800 on their own. So again, it's giving them that 283 00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,040 agency over their learning experience and So what we found 284 00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,440 for best practices from the over. 45. 1000 users that we 285 00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,280 have on actor to date. Is that the real recipe for? 286 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,920 Building your classroom community involves these three 287 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,720 main components. It's building that trust in 288 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,880 relationships amongst the students in your class and with 289 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,720 the instructor and TA as well, and then putting everyone in 290 00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,720 this collaborative environment where they know we are going to 291 00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,760 learn together. It's our collective 292 00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,360 responsibility to make sure everyone gets to the finish 293 00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,360 line, and that's really where you see a boost in that, in 294 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,160 course persistence. So once students feel like they 295 00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,240 are part of the community, they actually want to show up every 296 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,040 single day because they know they have a role in that 297 00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,840 community and that people will notice if they're not present 298 00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:19,040 the last. Part is the shared. 299 00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,040 Values and norms. I think this is the most 300 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,520 important aspect of building any community. 301 00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,960 It's sort of setting the guidelines in the structure for 302 00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,720 how are we going to use this community. 303 00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,680 So again, we tell instructors on day one, you. 304 00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,520 Get to decide exactly how. You want your students to use 305 00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,040 this space, and you want to relay that to them. 306 00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,120 Right, here is exactly how. We are going to use nectar. 307 00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,560 Doesn't matter if you use it differently in another class. 308 00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,320 In this class I want you to not use it during lecture. 309 00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,160 You're only going to use. It after hours. 310 00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,040 Or some instructors say here's where I'm going to do my. 311 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,920 Office hours, I actually. Do want you to only come talk to 312 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:58,040 me on here and not in person. So very customizable to what 313 00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,160 your campus and your classroom looks like. 314 00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,920 And again, we've seen an incredible response from the. 315 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,400 Teachers, the staff, the. Admin and the students that have 316 00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,080 been using this at over 40 campuses around the nation and. 317 00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,600 Also like I said before. We're seeing this in both K12 318 00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,840 and higher Ed, so the youngest students that we have using 319 00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,400 nectar. Today are 8 years old. 320 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,600 And it's awesome because they actually know how to use nectar 321 00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,000 better than anyone else does. These are iPad babies Who? 322 00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,840 Have been using discord and tools. 323 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,640 Like that for years. So they get in there and they 324 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,560 take off with it and it's. Really, really cool to see. 325 00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,520 Because what we're doing with nectar is also teaching them 326 00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:38,880 these. Career skills that. 327 00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,720 They're going to need to take with them into the. 328 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:41,840 Workforce. Right. 329 00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,960 They're going to use tools like Slack and Teens, and we want 330 00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,080 them to experience that early on so that they know and they're. 331 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,720 Prepared for How do I have a virtual? 332 00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,760 Team where? We work together to solve. 333 00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,680 These questions and these problems together, so I'm 334 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,120 finally at the end of the slides. 335 00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,160 I promise we'll jump right into nectar. 336 00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,640 I just want to save this screen really quick and I'll also. 337 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,360 Have Vicki upload? It to the channel for everyone. 338 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,960 But if you'd like to see a. Live demo. 339 00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,000 Talk about how this might fit into your. 340 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,680 School. Or even just brainstorm with me. 341 00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,000 How do I bring AI safely into my classroom or campus? 342 00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,080 I would love to meet with you. Please send me an e-mail book 343 00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,240 some time on my calendar. We are always here for you to 344 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,720 help you set this. Up on your campus, because we 345 00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,960 know how difficult it is to introduce new technology to a 346 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,920 campus. So I'm going to go ahead and out 347 00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,800 of this screen now and take you into nectar. 348 00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,640 I just want to pop in here and say that I really love your 349 00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:40,560 story. Thank you. 350 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:45,000 And what you've done with this and the evolution and also too I 351 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,960 want to say in the video that the LinkedIn live had some 352 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,680 technical difficulties. So we're going to have a revamp 353 00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,360 of Nectar in the coming weeks cuz LinkedIn wouldn't go live, 354 00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,880 so a lot of people might be jumping into the Riverside or 355 00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,920 just to let you know to ask questions. 356 00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:02,680 Gotcha. But yeah, I really love this 357 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,839 story and this is great that you're sharing. 358 00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:07,599 Thank you. This tool and everything that 359 00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:10,040 you've done this is. This is why we have this 360 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,680 podcast, so thank you. Now thank you Holly for giving 361 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,560 us this platform to. Do this because you're. 362 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,079 Exactly right. I think that if we want to see 363 00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:20,640 real innovation happen with an education, it has to be from the 364 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,640 people who are experiencing that problem themselves, right? 365 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,119 We innately know how we need to solve that and I think the. 366 00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,200 Key here is that rather. Than just building this for 367 00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,200 students or just for instructors. 368 00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,640 We really sat down with UCSB and said how do we make sure that 369 00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,680 Nectar has an equal value proposition for the student the. 370 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,400 TA. The teacher, The staff. 371 00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,760 And the administrator We want everyone to be able to be part 372 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,720 of this campus community. And really, the whole purpose of 373 00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,600 Nectar is to build a network across the entire campus. 374 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,160 So now that we're in the tool. Itself, I think one of the key 375 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:55,920 factors. Of you know how is this 376 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,480 different than something like Slack? 377 00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,120 Where slack is a separate workspace. 378 00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:02,280 That you would put in every single class. 379 00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,240 Nectar is 1 workspace for the entire campus and each class is 380 00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,000 going to be a channel. Like you see right here. 381 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,360 On the left hand side and so I'll actually show you this is 382 00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:16,680 nectar in just the web app and you can always download. 383 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,240 The desktop. Or the mobile app. 384 00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:23,200 But where we see. 79% of our usage happen is right here 385 00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,840 inside of the LMS. So like I said Nectar, we wanted 386 00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,760 it to be no human onboarding whatsoever and So what that 387 00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:35,960 means is once it's integrated with your LMS via LTI, it can 388 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,160 auto create your class channel for you. 389 00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,200 All the teacher has to. Do is come and press that nectar 390 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,760 button on the left hand side. We're showing canvas right now, 391 00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,600 but it works with any LMS at all. 392 00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:47,400 And what? Will happen is it'll 393 00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,240 automatically create a channel for that course and it'll Add 394 00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,120 all the students from the registration. 395 00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:56,320 Of that course page. And it refreshes every 24 hours. 396 00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,960 So if you have students add or drop the class, it'll constantly 397 00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,640 refresh that registration for you. 398 00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,080 And So what we wanted to do was not just have that registration 399 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,760 be done so that we could auto create the channels, but 400 00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,080 actually embed it right inside of the LMS so that students and 401 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,760 teachers didn't have to pop out to a new window in order to use 402 00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:15,880 nectar. They could do it. 403 00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,200 Right inside of the LMS where they already were and that's 404 00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,560 really why we see the engagement be so high. 405 00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,200 Because it's incredibly easy for. 406 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,800 Students to use it. And then like I said, they can 407 00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,040 always download the Nectar mobile app and that's how 408 00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,160 they're getting their notifications delivered to them 409 00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,120 where they are right now. So we hear this a lot of. 410 00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:34,920 Students aren't opening their e-mail. 411 00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,200 I can't get the messages to them and that's exactly what Nectar 412 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,280 is for. It's meeting them where they are 413 00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,680 with technology that is very similar to the social. 414 00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,280 Tools that they're already. Using today and so you can see 415 00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,960 once we're inside of an actor channel, it's pretty intuitive 416 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,400 and. Simple to figure out exactly how 417 00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,560 to use it. So on your left hand side, 418 00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,520 you're going to have your navigation for all of the 419 00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,280 channels that you're in. So you can see I even have this 420 00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,280 private faculty channel, so you can have channels that are. 421 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,360 Just for staff, just for faculty. 422 00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,920 And all of the channels within your campus. 423 00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,680 Workspace will be available right? 424 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,480 Here on the Discover page. And so here's where. 425 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,640 You'll be able to see. All of the channels that. 426 00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,920 Have been made on campus. I can see even. 427 00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,680 The private ones that I'm. Part of but this is where you'll 428 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:17,720 see all. Of the publicly. 429 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,800 Made channels. So one of my favorite ones is 430 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,920 during the pandemic. We had a school. 431 00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,440 Create a Pandemic Book Club. Channel. 432 00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,960 And so they invited. Staff faculty. 433 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,560 Students to join. There was over 500 people. 434 00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,560 It was awesome. And every week they would pick a 435 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,600 new book and people would just go into the channel and chat 436 00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,600 about it and it created this incredible community across the 437 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,440 campus. So really, what Nectar is? 438 00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,080 For is wherever those. Spaces can't exist outside of 439 00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,040 the LMS, or you don't have a virtual community for them, such 440 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,840 as all of the majors on campus or the dorms. 441 00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,520 You can have all of that information and communication 442 00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,160 flow through Nectar and it also has. 443 00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,080 The ability for direct messages like you see here. 444 00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,040 So if I want it to contact my instructor or my advisor, anyone 445 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,120 on campus. Again, all of my classroom and 446 00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:12,120 campus communication can flow right through Nectar, and so now 447 00:21:12,120 --> 00:21:14,160 we'll. Show you right up here. 448 00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,480 Soma. So as the instructor, as the 449 00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,080 owner of the channel, I'm the only one who's going to be able 450 00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,280 to see these two icons right here, Soma and our analytics 451 00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,200 page. So SOMA can be added to the room 452 00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,120 or turned off at any time. And this is where I'll go ahead 453 00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:32,400 and upload any files. And so I'm actually going to add 454 00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,360 another file. I'm going to go ahead and put in 455 00:21:36,360 --> 00:21:40,320 my Python loops lecture and you'll see it'll go from not 456 00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,280 trained in about 10 seconds. It'll train Soma on that 457 00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,800 information and now I've expanded her knowledge base and 458 00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,240 so she has a little bit more information that she can share 459 00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,480 with my students. So while this is getting 460 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:57,120 trained, Vicki, if you don't mind putting in the chat the 461 00:21:57,120 --> 00:21:59,560 actual link to join this space, so. 462 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,120 We will get all. Of you guys in the actual nectar 463 00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:04,640 sandbox, you can test. This out with us. 464 00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,320 And go ahead and save that. I'll put it in, I'll put it in 465 00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:10,280 the other chat. Perfect. 466 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,640 Thank you so much. And then what I'm going to do is 467 00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,880 I can come down here and I'm going to tag soma. 468 00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,640 You can even just type at soma like that and I'm going to ask 469 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:20,560 her. What? 470 00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:26,560 Are Python loops and how are they used in the second 471 00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:31,280 assignment? And you can see Soma starts 472 00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,920 typing and she's parsing that information to be able to give 473 00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:38,240 my students a quick answer. And once that pops up, we'll go 474 00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,440 ahead and show you. And so again once you get into 475 00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,080 this. Space feel free to tag. 476 00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,960 Soma to go ahead and respond to the. 477 00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,840 Poll right here. You can even send a GIF down 478 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,680 here. So I'm gonna say hi, There we 479 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,720 go. And I'm gonna throw that GIF 480 00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:58,320 right in here. All right, let me see. 481 00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:59,720 Are we getting some people in here? 482 00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,280 All right, let's wait and get everyone in there. 483 00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,360 And then while that's happening again, I want to pop back. 484 00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:09,320 Out to the full web. View so you can see it like this 485 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,360 one of our. Other favorite tools is right up 486 00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:13,120 here you'll be. Able to see the analytics. 487 00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:16,600 Tab, so there's a live. Analytics page inside of every 488 00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:17,840 channel. That will show you the 489 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,200 engagement from least engaged student to most engaged and then 490 00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,120 you can export any of these to your. 491 00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:26,080 Grade book for participation. Points or even to your. 492 00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,440 SAS or your CRM? If you want to be tracking 493 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,440 nectar for student retention, so this is. 494 00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,000 Great for teachers to have a early alert. 495 00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,240 System to be able to pull students back into the community 496 00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:44,360 as they notice they disengage. So I'm going to go ahead and 497 00:23:44,360 --> 00:23:47,080 wait for any questions and you can go ahead and drop your 498 00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,080 questions into the actor actual Nectar channel and we'll be 499 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,480 happy to answer them. And so I'll pop this up and show 500 00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,160 you. There you go. 501 00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,680 There is. Soma's answer So she lets me 502 00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,080 know what Python loops are and how they're used in the second 503 00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,920 assignment, and I can even pull up the sources. 504 00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,000 To see exactly where. Soma found that information from 505 00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,520 and the character in that PDF and then it'll link me. 506 00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,640 Directly to that PDF. So students can always find the 507 00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:20,320 information that it's coming from all right. 508 00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:24,160 Shut the, Shut the. Someone got excited. 509 00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,520 And then also what I'm going to have Vicki do since we're coming 510 00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,600 up on time soon is she's going to put in the links to the 511 00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,120 pricing page so that you can know a little bit more about 512 00:24:36,120 --> 00:24:38,800 what nectar costs and that. Is a dollar per. 513 00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,360 Student per month. So $12.00 per. 514 00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:46,040 Student per year and we are billing either by department or 515 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,640 by your entire campus. So we're very customizable to 516 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,440 how you want to start using it. We can even put it in individual 517 00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,920 classroom 1st and there you go. Vicki's got our pricing page. 518 00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,320 Right there for you to check out. 519 00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,520 And then she's also going to throw in our nectar learning 520 00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,280 library and so. This is a great page where. 521 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,720 You can go through and see. A quick walkthrough. 522 00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,240 And all of the different. Features that we. 523 00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,360 Have and the best practices for fostering inclusive classrooms, 524 00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:14,640 enhancing student engagement, and you can. 525 00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,640 Even see some of the. Case studies that we have. 526 00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,440 From previous schools. And check out how we've been 527 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,920 able to increase that. Class average, like I said. 528 00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:23,840 So. There we go. 529 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,720 We've got. The learning library in there. 530 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,000 Thank you. Vicki, I'm going to come right 531 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:28,960 back. Over here. 532 00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,280 Any questions SO? Far anything that you. 533 00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,600 Guys would like a deeper. Look at anything that you're 534 00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,680 curious about whether it's on our road map. 535 00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,160 Would love to hear some feedback. 536 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,080 I just want to ask, is the demo going to stay open for a bit so 537 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,480 if people after the fact want to explore, they can still go in 538 00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,800 and absolutely love it. It'll be in the show. 539 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,000 Notes Exactly. And so while you're in this 540 00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,080 space, you can go ahead and come right. 541 00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,120 Up here to the top. Left corner and here's. 542 00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:00,880 Where you'll be able to. Create your own. 543 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,200 Public or private? Channel within this space, so 544 00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,400 I'm. Just going to create. 545 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,320 The channel and you can see I can toggle it between public 546 00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:08,120 and. Private. 547 00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,840 And then I'm gonna make. Test space. 101. 548 00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,200 And I can create it. And there you go. 549 00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,120 I've got a brand new channel and I can come right up here since 550 00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:20,400 I'm the owner of it. And set up my Soma. 551 00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,840 And I can say hello world and so please feel free to go and make 552 00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:25,640 your own. Channel. 553 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,000 Try out SOMA yourself. Upload your documents to it and 554 00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,800 pretend that this is your little class space. 555 00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,000 And again, you can keep that private if you'd like to. 556 00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,880 We're going to go ahead and keep this space open for a full week. 557 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,040 After this and so. You can always go in here and 558 00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,920 let us know your feedback in the general channel as well. 559 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,720 So you can come right in here and just let us know what you 560 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,560 think about it, if you have any feedback on features and oh, 561 00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,000 there we go, Thanks Holly. Perfect. 562 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,080 So I do see a question right here. 563 00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,640 I saw the pull box was included. Is there a way to remove that 564 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:03,960 automatically in the data for OK, Alexander, your question, I 565 00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,320 saw that the poll box was included in the data for 566 00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,160 participating students. Is there a way to remove that 567 00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,040 automatically for the instructor? 568 00:27:11,360 --> 00:27:15,440 Yeah, so you can decide exactly where you want that data to come 569 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:16,880 from. If you don't want to create any 570 00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,440 polls in your channel, you absolutely don't have to. 571 00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,440 That's just one of the tools that we like using in there to 572 00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,680 increase that engagement up front because it's easy for 573 00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,280 students to interact with. But when you're looking at the 574 00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,800 actual analytics class page, that will not be pulling from 575 00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,320 the polling information, That's looking at the actual messages 576 00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,560 sent by the students. And that's what we're tracking 577 00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:41,440 engagement on. Any other questions? 578 00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:51,040 Yeah, Gotcha. Yeah. 579 00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,400 Let me go ahead and pull that up one more time. 580 00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,680 That's a good question. Yeah, so. 581 00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,640 Everything that you're seeing here. 582 00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,360 This is actually just. Coming from the messages that 583 00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:11,750 are sent in that Channel I. Guess my question here is if 584 00:28:11,750 --> 00:28:15,710 you're the professor and you're using the poll to track, you 585 00:28:15,710 --> 00:28:19,830 know, engagement like at least for me, I I would imagine that I 586 00:28:19,990 --> 00:28:23,000 wouldn't want to see the poll by as a part of the number of 587 00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:24,160 messages. Oh. 588 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,520 Gotcha. You're saying this one? 589 00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,040 Also envision that that could be a lot of messages. 590 00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:28,640 Gotcha that. Could make up. 591 00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,600 A Non. Gotcha. 592 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,360 OK, that's actually really good feedback. 593 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,960 I will. Totally let the engineers know 594 00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,560 to take off the poll bot from it. 595 00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,560 It's just because the poll. Is one of the users technically 596 00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,560 in the channel now, but that's something we can very easily 597 00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,080 remove, so thank you for calling that out. 598 00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,240 We have not had anyone mention that to us before. 599 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,320 That is a really good call out. Thank you. 600 00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,080 Perfect. Any other questions? 601 00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:58,720 Awesome. Thank you Vicki. 602 00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,480 She already noted it and sent it to our engineering team and that 603 00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:02,280 is. Exactly why we? 604 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,480 Have a community manager in the workspace so that any time that 605 00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,680 you need help, somebody is accessible to you. 606 00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,200 So in every workspace you can always come down here to the 607 00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,400 Lifesaver icon, and this is where. 608 00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,040 You'll be able to get live support. 609 00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,240 And so Vicki actually lives right inside of this little 610 00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:18,960 spot. You'll be able to send her a 611 00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,520 message and any student. Staff, faculty or. 612 00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,800 Admin can use this Monday through Friday 9:00 to 5:00 and 613 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,360 so you don't actually. Have to put your IT. 614 00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,520 Support in there to help post nectar we will do that. 615 00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,920 For you. So we want this to be a managed 616 00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,920 workspace and that comes with your campus wide contract. 617 00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,080 Cool.
