How to sign up:

Middlesex is running a pilot of this student response system until June 2019 in order to evaluate the suitability and effectiveness of this educational tool. This pilot, available to all Middlesex staff, gives access to licenses, covering up to 1500 students per class. For support, you can also contact elearning@mdx.ac.uk if issues arise or have specific questions.

In conjunction with Vevox, the Centre for Academic Practice Enhancement (CAPE) have developed an online sign up page where staff can sign up for an account using their Middlesex email address. Please click here.

Notifications and on-boarding:

Once staff have signed up, the new account will be approved and this will trigger a notification email including all the details for setting up and use of the dashboard. To support you during the pilot, you will receive a series of pre-programmed emails with guidance on how to use this tool.

The on-boarding emails, which are staggered during a period of 20 days, offer staff guidance on how best to use the tool, to help you use the tool in the most effective way to enhance your students' engagement.
