It sounds like a great tool for educators to increase engagement and track student progress in online sessions. Best of luck with your launch and I'm sure educators around the world will benefit from your passion and dedication to teaching. Keep up the good work!
Super cool stuff! I'm all for any solution in meeting settings that help create additional engagement from participants who would otherwise be checked out or too shy to contribute. I think that it's awesome that you're getting metrics to help you quantify who's participating and who is not. More importantly, you're providing teachers and managers a way to gamify the experience to help get more people involved.
A cool features that I often wanted as a manager on video calls where people checkout would be an AI moderator that would help nudge specific participants who have a low contribution score. This could be a simple call out in the meeting "Hey Bob, what do you think about this topic?". When you call people out to contribute it can be scary for them, but will help get them more used to contributing (especially if it occurs enough). Looking forward to seeing where this goes!
@cjries We've got this request from several of our partner companies too. We're tending towards notifications or other nudges that we can automate and are trying to fine-tune this feature. One major problem is, of course, deciding the threshold because different places have different thresholds for tolerance (it's terrible to tune out during a work meeting but, maybe permissible in a hobby-learning or a K12 setting) and that's been a bit of a problem
@uttiya_roy sounds like you all are already on top of it! I couldn't agree more on tuning different thresholds depending on the circumstance. Tuning out during a work meeting is more edge case.
@cjries Yeah, I'm excited to see where we end up landing with this. Building and marketing Lens has been really interesting
@cjries I think it's always interesting to manage the balance of calling people out for lack of focus/commitment to a meeting, but also respecting the introverts in the group. I like the opportunity that this brings of acknowledging someone's focus or participation, even if it's quiet, so you don't have to put your introverted students/business partners in uncomfortable situations.
I like the notification/nudge concept mentioned by @uttiya_roy though; definitely a cool product I'll keep an eye on over time!
😎 Wow! That sounds amazing! I'm so impressed by the features of Lens and the commitment of the creator to make a difference in education 🤗
Thank you for sharing your product with us! We are excited to try it out and see how it can help improve online teaching.
Great stuff! This might turn my hate against Zoom into a more balanced emotion :) Really looks fun! Congratulation
@ivo_scherkamp Lovely, please let us know if you want to peek at our roadmap
Congrats on the launch team! Looks fantastic for a lot of use cases. Also, the interface looks really fun. I'm excited to try it out :)
I am impressed by the ingenuity of Lens in transforming Zoom into an online teaching powerhouse. The ability to keep learners engaged, gauge class performance and increase retention rates are critical components of successful online learning. The fact that Lens addresses all of these challenges in one product is truly remarkable.
@abdullahmukhtar that is the aim - to make online sessions comprehensive and engaging!
Huge upgrade to the Zoom classroom experience. Congrats on a fantastic launch, Mubeen and Bilal!
I really like this concept! I know there have been times where "lockdown" browsers are used in education, and I feel like a product like Lens goes further to establish a line of trust with the student while still keeping them honest as far as their engagement and focus goes.
Focus on accountability while still leaving an opening for trust. Neat.
@mkaras Lockdown browser might still be needed for proctoring but, for regular use-cases, it can be a bit of an overkill imho. Thank you so much
@udittehri Currently, it's talktime, the idea is pretty simple, but, once we started user research, we found that it becomes a critical statistic in everything from K12 learning to in-depth research into mental disorders. So, it's been a learning experience, and we'll probably make it more robust and real-time
Thats nice that. Congrats on the launch. Kudos to the team. Wishes for a successful launch. Blessings for the future.
Engagement metrics are insane!! This is a game changer altogether when it comes. to teaching online.
@derstartupcfo Thank you! We recently tried this out with webinars for a client who teaches 1000-students per class, and the first reviews were great
This is great. Can I use this for webinars?
Is it possible that the participant screen is only visible to the host?
This is something next level. I am just curious how come no one ever thought about this. Take a bow team Lens.
@shahbaz_haidar Thank you! We just wanted to help teachers do more with online classes
Spectacular product 🚀 Participant talk time & Attentiveness tracker is something worth looking out for. Amazing work guys 👏
