Experts in online student communities
Create your own online student communities which can only be accessed by students enrolled in your language training. The virtual community of students is added as a section of the language course facilitating access to it and without having to log in again. The profile image of a student becomes his avatar and the rest of the community can easily recognize him.
Create your own encounter point for your students: forums, threads of conversation, message boards, chats , video conferences…
Loyalty of students with web communities
An online community of its own is an excellent loyalty strategy as it offers students a place where they can spend their time for more enjoyable activities than studying lessons or exercises. If you increase the participation in the use of your courses you increase the loyalty of your students with it the probabilities of completion, as well as the use of training.
Custom avatar
Students can upload their own avatar or choose one of the images of their selection to identify themselves in the course next to their username. This profile image is used in the community and also in the gamification classification tables.
Active participation
Meeting rooms 24x7
The virtual communities of students encourage the active participation of students by offering them a meeting place in which to talk with their classmates. This is an excellent way to practice what has been learned in a relaxed way, and that provides the social component that this type of training lack.
Gamification
Next to the avatar, the system shows a series of stars that are obtained according to the level of participation of the user in the community (it’s status in front of the rest of users) and that will also be reflected in its global gamification score.
Self-management directed by teachers
Online communities of language learners with their forums, message boards, conversation threads, and meeting rooms for chatting via audio or video chat can be under the supervision and monitoring of a tutor or let the students manage its network without teacher intervention.
