Bright Birds: New Features

Bright Birds: New Features
Published on 31 August 2023

As the new academic year begins, we hope you had a delightful holiday season. At Edumundo, we've been hard at work this summer to bring you exciting new features. Let us introduce you to some of the latest innovations we've implemented.

 

Revolutionizing Challenges:

  • New challenge type: "Scavenger Hunt"

Embark on a thrilling adventure with our new challenge, "Scavenger Hunt." Students will be tasked with uncovering hidden locations or finding specific individuals, all by scanning corresponding QR codes. Imagine the excitement of a city-wide scavenger hunt or a memorable pub crawl, bringing students together in engaging activities.

Media and Voting:

  • Media sharing and voting

Introducing a whole new level of connection among students through our updated challenge feature. Now, students can upload media and provide a description to support their choices. But that's not all - fellow students can cast their votes on each other's media, fostering a sense of camaraderie and interaction within the app.

For example, challenge your peers to share a one-minute video showcasing their best study tip. The student with the most votes will be hailed as the master of study hacks!

Poll Power:

  • New Teacher Dashboard

Say goodbye to the hassle of creating separate polls for each question. We've made it easier for teachers by allowing multiple questions within a single poll. This streamlines the process, providing a clearer and less intensive experience for both educators and students. Now, students will receive only one push notification for multiple poll questions.

Empowering Teachers:

  • Improved student engagement insight reporting

Our newly redesigned teacher dashboard, inspired by the sleek style of Microsoft Teams, is here to make your life easier. With just a glance, keep track of your students' progress and performance. We've ensured an intuitive interface, and the dashboard even offers helpful tips on how to guide students in using the app and overcoming challenges.

Administrative Innovations:

  • Tutors can now customise games and save templates

Teachers, rejoice! Our new template feature allows you to use existing templates multiple times. Simply copy and adjust the time slots, saving you valuable preparation time. Let efficiency be your ally as you embark on a successful academic year.

Seamless Logins:

  • Simplified student logins

No need to create a new account anymore. You can now log in effortlessly using your school or work account via SurfConext, Google, or Microsoft platforms. Experience the convenience of accessing the app and teacher dashboard with just a few clicks.

BrightBirds is committed to enhancing the educational experience, and these updates are just the beginning. Join us as we embark on this exciting journey together.
