Engageli Features

Below are some of the key features of Engageli

Built For Academia

• Transforms traditional virtual classrooms into interactive and collaborative spaces.

• Enriches the learning experience for students and educators alike.

Student and Table Based

• Engageli facilitates dynamic discussions and breakout sessions by using a unique Table based approach

• Tables engage with the course material and each other, fostering a sense of community even in remote learning environments.

• Lessons become more informative and engaging due to dynamic polls, word clouds, easy-to-use Raise Hand features for quick question asking.

• Engageli integrates multimedia elements into its interface making it easier to follow a lecture or communicate and work as a group at a table.

Sharing Documents and PDF's

In Engageli, sharing documents and PDFs allows instructors and participants to collaborate effectively by ensuring everyone can access the necessary materials. Your instructor will either turn sharing on or off for each class so you may have to request permission to share before proceeding. 

Preparing Your Document for Sharing

1. Ensure your document is saved and easily accessible on your computer.

2. If your document is large, consider compressing it to ensure smooth sharing.

3. Have the document open and ready to be shared during your session.

Sharing Content

From the toolbar at the bottom of the screen, click the Present button.

You will be presented with a panel offering a number of different tasks. The panel is split into two main sections: Classroom activities and Table activites. There are more options to present content with the class than there are with individual tables.

If you wish to share a PDF, select PDF Share from the list. The ability to upload a PDF document, along with previously uploaded documents will appear. Should you wish to use the PDF at a later date or a future session, click the Save to Content for next session checkbox.

Action Tags

Action Tags are QR codes that you can embed into a presentation, PDF or Document. Including tags in your presentation slides and documents will reduce the cognitive load and orchestration required to conduct and manage your class, as the system automatically detects and presents you with the option to quickly enable the action. This frees up more of your time to focus on delivering the content you love, teaching in a more engaging way, and providing a smooth learning experience for your class.
