DyKnow software fosters interaction through collaborative note taking, student response tools, content replay, and anywhere, anytime access. Instructors can use DyKnow to transmit content instantly to student screens for annotation and to limit distracting programs (i.e. instant messenger) with its powerful classroom management capabilities.
Teachers can create content in PowerPoint, then import that file into DyKnow. During a class session, the content is then displayed on the student's screen, where they can then either annotate directly on the slide, or add their own notes in a side-panel. Any annotations that the instructor makes during the session are automatically transmitted to the student's screen.
Interactivity is supported via Polling, Panel Collection, and Student Status. Polling allows students to respond to multiple choice questions, the instructor can quickly create a pie-chart to share the results. Panel Collection allows the instructor to collect student work during class for review, and the Student Status feature allows students to self-report their current level of understanding via a green / yellow / red analogy. This information is reported to the instructor as a pie chart for quick reference.
