Vevox new features
- New 'AI quiz' feature
Vevox recently released an AI feature for creating up to 5 multiple choice quiz questions based on prompts you provide. This makes building your quiz quicker and easier, and can be particularly useful for introducing a new topic or testing students' prior knowledge of a subject. If you have never used Vevox before, this could be a way to get started. See the full AI quiz article for more information. - PowerPoint add-in feature
Vevox’s PowerPoint add-in is now available for Mac & PC. This allows integration of Vevox polls with PowerPoint, providing more seamless presentations. We are investigating application of this feature for Warwick users, so please look out for more news. Read more about the Vevox PowerPoint add-inLink opens in a new windowLink opens in a new window.

Academic Technologies have informed me that Moodle will be unavailable on Tuesday 7th April from 07:00-08:00 am to allow our providers to perform an update to Moodle, to update plugins and to apply a number of fixes. The work is likely to take 15 minutes, however, Moodle itself will be unavailable for the full hour.
