What is BookWidgets?
BookWidgets is a content creation and evaluation tool for teachers. Even better: it's the toolbox teachers need to support their students' learning process, from beginning to end.
We can describe the BookWidgets platform based on these 4 parts/pillars that will help teachers enhance their students' learning outcomes:
Content Creation: Teachers can build digital and interactive lessons choosing between 40 widget types (= digital activities) from our widget library. The widget library is divided into categories "Test and review" - "Games" - "Math" - "Images and video" - "Miscellaneous". Four of these widget types: Quiz, Video quiz, Worksheet, Split Worksheet" focus on evaluation and feedback with 36 interactive question types to offer (30 of them get automatically graded). Every widget has specific settings and student aid tools. Think about: when do teachers want to show answers (immediately, after the assignment or when they decide to return - including personalized feedback?), text-to-speech, a timer, scratchpad, calculator, and much more. Our widgets and setting are completely tailored to both teachers and students.
Live Monitoring: When students are completing BookWidgets activities (or widgets) the teacher can get live insights. These insights give teachers the opportunity to act and respond to what a student is doing in their classroom at that time. Teachers can immediately offer help or extra challenges which is much sooner in their learning process then ever was possible.
Reporting & Feedback: Teachers can assign widgets for practicing, for homework, for tests. They can choose for students to "Enable submitting" so their answer can be reviewed by the teacher in our reporting dashboard. The reporting sachboar dis designmnet to efficiently grade and provide feedback to students. Most widgets and question types are already auto-graded, but teachers can overwrite scores, add personilazed comment to questions and parts in their students' answers, use filters to already hide correct answers so they can focus on what's needed. When teacher return the work and feedback to students they can tailor the returned work: leave out grades, corrections, or show everything. This can be done for the entire classroom, or individual students.
Integration: We believe in the power of integration. By integrating BookWidgets into different learning management platforms (like Google Classroom, MS Teams, ItsLearning, Moodle, Schoology, Blackboard, Canvas, Smartschool, Moodle, ...!), you are creating the ultimate digital classroom, keeping teachers and students in their trusted learning environment. This way, schools can implement tools on a higher level that fit their school's technology vision.
As BookWidgets is a content creation tool, all teachers, teaching all subject and grades can use it. That's because we implemented:
Language learning tools: text-to-speech, image and audio functionalities, spell check, an on-screen keyboard with language-specific characters and more.
Math & science specific tools: an on-screen calculator, equations question and editor, LaTeX support, scratchpad for students, and more.
Multimedia tools like: integration with Pixabay images, audio recording functionality, image zoom, YouTube Integration, and more.
A content sharing community: We encourage teachers to share widgets with each other. Teachers can find and adapt a massive amount of ready-to-use content.
