Aula

As we said previously, in 2024 the Aula platform had some prime developments. We can say that it was a year focused on organization, since now you can: 🏆 #Customize how your spaces display to you; 🏆 Check your students' progress on the content; 🏆 #Build your content in MS Word, then copy and paste such content without losing formatting. See the slides below for more details on each #launch, and join us in spreading love to our Product/Engineering teams! 🥳 #YearInReview

This year was filled with new features that were launched on our web and mobile app. Novelty may cause users some initial confusion, and our #CustomerSuccess team is happy to help with any queries. 🎆 As we wave 2024 goodbye, let's take a moment to lay back and see some kind words customers have shared with them! 💜 #YearInReview

On a film set, all crew positions matter, and understanding each one's #contribution 🤝 is a deal-maker or breaker. #Community building starts at the learning phase when #HigherEducation students can train their leadership skills in a safe environment before going to the market.

The joy of watching - even better with subtitles and other resources 👀 More than just a supplement for more traditional materials, #video lectures can support diverse learning styles (like visual and auditory learners), are more flexible than in-person classes, and are helpful to students who have difficulty attending live sessions (when the session is recorded, they can watch the recording later). To enhance the educators' and students' experience with videos in Aula, we recommend the following tools, which are #integrations that work seamlessly within our platform. 📽️ YouTube - A source of visual and audio learning that enhances visual literacy and creativity 📽️ Vimeo - Encourages visual and creative ways of learning and engaging with #lecture material 📽️ Echo360  - Video platform designed specifically for the Education industry 📽️ Panopto - This platform can help with lecture recording, screencasting, video #streaming, and video content management 📽️ Planet eStream - Web-based platform that provides simple access to media library for both educators and students How about you? What are your favorite tools for working with videos in your classes?

🌱 #Sustainability practices into campus operations and curricula The integration between sustainability and #HigherEducation curricula goes beyond the environmental or sustainability-focused programs: it has to be incorporated all around the campus. As a #multidisciplinary facet, this approach ensures that students in every major are aware of the importance of sustainability in their respective fields, forming a more comprehensive and integrated approach to sustainability #education.

🥳 Celebrate with us! University of the West of Scotland, recently named Higher Educational Institution of the Year, has renewed its contract with Aula. Read our blog post to find out more about this continued partnership - https://lnkd.in/dZ5GQeHy #HigherEducation #OnlineLearning

We hate (early) goodbyes 😢 According to a study by House of Commons accessible in https://lnkd.in/dRncvwMv, England sets numerical thresholds for the minimum acceptable student outcomes #HigherEducation providers must meet. For full-time students studying a first #degree, such thresholds are: 🏆 80% of students to continue their studies 🏆 75% of students to complete their course 🏆 60% of students to go on to further study, professional work, or other positive outcomes, within 15 months of graduating This data means that the institutions should do what's within reach to attain #StudentRetention and improve #graduation rates. Technology plays a significant role here, and the below strategies make the foundation of an environment where most students complete their studies.

One of the ways of working with data in #HigherEducation is to ask for students' feedback 💬 at the end of a course/module/program. Even though some of them may not be your students again because they're graduating, for example, it can still serve as a starting point for the future #TeachingExperiences you deliver. ❓ Asking the right questions is just as important as acting upon the feedback received since wrong questions lead to answers and data that won't be of much assistance. To help you in this task, we've gathered below some suggested questions that you could include in your post-learning #survey. #Feedback

👗 Even when one single name is linked to a #fashion label, it still takes a whole team to make the design a reality. 👥👥 #Collaboration is key to manage all the stakeholders in the fashion industry. Aula is key to have students collaborating with each other in #OnlineLearning #HigherEducation

It's time for some #synchronous learning! Aula is aware of the great value of face-to-face interactions in a #LearningExperience. To make them even more engaging, there are several #VirtualClassroom external tools you can integrate with our platform. We've listed the three more prominent ones below. 💻 BigBlueButton - Video conferencing tool for synchronous communication. 💻 Nearpod - #Interactive presentation and assessment tool. 💻 Engageli - Interactive virtual learning platform. Which one is your favorite? 👀
