Student-to-student collaboration is an essential aspect of student learning. When students learn to share ideas and thoughts, they will learn the material faster and more thoroughly. Students from an online class, or even an in-class environment, may not get the chance to have this collaboration experience. By creating practical learning solutions, we have made it easy here at IQ. Students can now easily set up events particular to a certain class, a lecture, or even just a small study group. This way of collaboration encourages students to not only attend these events, but to lead and engage other students to take part.
Aside from events related to learning material, students can also create detailed events linked to social events, musical events, any other sort of event. With the enhancement of detail and organization, students will more likely attend these events,creating an environment in which students feel more connected. These are just some of the event management features IQ has created into the online learning experience:
-Integrating aspects of the platform (e.g., events, connections, and alerts) a user has a single view
of the day, week and month. Events can be monitored and users can provide feedback on if they
plan to attend an event or engage others.
• Unlimited user generated events
• Google Map integration
• Invitation management (target specific connections & areas such as groups and networks)
• Events publishing to activity streams
• Share event on Facebook or Twitter
• Support for recurring (repeating events)
• Event custom fields management
• Upcoming and past event management
• RSVP management (attending, not attending, maybe, not responded)
These solutions keep student interaction organized and simple. Unlike ordinary online education systems, IQ has put forth practical solutions related to a student’s engagement and needs. We make it a priority to remove distance from distance learning.
