DyKnow Vision Product Benefits

Network resources are conserved with the client-server design.

DyKnow Vision and its partner software, DyKnow Monitor, use a client-server design. This helps efficiently utilize existing bandwidth while also providing a scalable solution.

DyKnow Vision makes hardware “work” in the classroom.

DyKnow Vision’s features enable computers to function as learning tools. With DyKnow Vision, students and teachers use their computers to interact with each other and with course content both in and out of the classroom. This enables students to spend more time applying concepts and thinking critically.

Interaction and monitoring capabilities are found in one software suite.

DyKnow Vision, and its partner software DyKnow Monitor, can be purchased as a bundle. Together, these products use only one interface to keep students on task and foster interaction in the classroom.

From an IT perspective, both DyKnow Vision and DyKnow Monitor can be easily managed through a web-based interface.

Students really learn during class.

Instead of spending entire class periods feverishly copying down all teacher notes, students are freed to ask questions and interact with class content to learn more during and after class. See an evaluation (http://dyknow.com/assets/whitepapers/Impact-of-DyKnow-Software-Across-Ed-Institutions-2006-10.pdf) to find out more on how DyKnow Vision affects learning outcomes.

Teachers and students receive immediate feedback and assessment.

Teachers can utilize the polling, participant status, and chat features to gauge student understanding of class material and adjust the pace and flow of class accordingly.

Students can also use the same features to determine their own level of understanding and ask questions when clarification is needed.

DyKnow Vision saves valuable class time.

Teachers can prepare DyKnow panels, or slides, ahead of class. During class, this content is broadcast to all student screens in a classroom, eliminating the need to make copies before class and spend class time copying notes to a chalkboard or whiteboard.

Students are also freed from copying down notes verbatim. They can add personal annotations to clarify a point from the teachers’ content, while using class time to ask questions and apply concepts.

In addition, student work can be submitted, graded and returned through DyKnow, eliminating the need to spend class time returning paper work.
