What’s New

Poll Everywhere is a type of Classroom or Learner Response System (LRS) that allows you to ask various types of questions to students to identify gaps in their understanding and to get students to feedback and contribute ideas. Poll Everywhere can be directly run from the website or be integrated with PowerPoint, Keynote or Google Slides for it to be used seamlessly during lectures. It can be used in all  these learning types: face-to-face, online, and hybrid (face-to-face on campus and online off campus sessions happening simultaneously).

CIT will be conducting a seminar on Poll Everywhere to provide a general overview on how to use Poll Everywhere to create various questions (single/multiple MCQ, word cloud, clickable image, open-ended response, and ranking) as well as the Q&A activity type which can be used to collect questions from participants. We will also be discussing how you can match the responses to the students. In addition, we will also look at the type of reports that can be generated using Poll Everywhere.

You will get to see how this tool can be used from a teacher’s perspective and also experience using the tool from the students’ perspectives. This seminar will be conducted in Zoom, so you will also be able to experience how this tool can be used during online or hybrid teaching.

Recording of the sessions will be put in CIT website (http://cit.nus.edu.sg/poll-everywhere/) after the session.

geNiUSworld is for staff and students to share educational and informative materials that they have created with the NUS community. The aim is to promote community outreach and professional peer learning. Hence, there's something for everyone! Teaching staff can include any of these resources into their modules on LumiNUS, and students can share their learning with their peers. This resource sharing system comprises 3 sharing platforms: geNiUSchannel, geNiUSbooks, geNiUSjourney.

In celebration of the launch of the NUS geNiUSchannel and geNiUSbooks, NUS is announcing a competition to encourage all NUS staff and students to create and use educational or informative video vignettes and interactive books.

What are geNiUSchannel and geNiUSbooks?

  • geNiUSbooks are web-based interactive books, created and published on Microsoft SWAY. These interactive books can incorporate multimedia such as text, images, videos, 3D objects, hyperlinks etc. geNiUSbooks may be created by NUS staff, students and permitted users for others in NUS to use, annotate and modify; or may be created by students for note taking or sharing purposes.
  • geNiUSchannel is a video sharing portal to share educational or informative video vignettes. The channel is organized by faculties/schools, administrative units, disciplines, subjects and staff members. Videos can be scaffolded and linked, to allow knowledge to be shared in the form of interactive e-books.
