113: Unlocking Student Engagement: A Live Dive into Yellowdig with CEO Shaunak Roy

1
00:00:01,280 --> 00:00:07,000
All right, we are live.
Hello everyone, and welcome to

2
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:11,560
our first live demo.
My name is Holly Owens and my

3
00:00:11,560 --> 00:00:15,720
name is Nadia Johnson and we're
your hosts of At A Bed Tech.

4
00:00:15,720 --> 00:00:19,720
We're so excited today because
we get to do our first live demo

5
00:00:19,720 --> 00:00:24,480
with Shana Groy from Yellow Dig.
It is a tool that I have used in

6
00:00:24,480 --> 00:00:27,520
my classroom in higher
education.

7
00:00:27,520 --> 00:00:29,640
It is fabulous.
It has been around for.

8
00:00:30,120 --> 00:00:34,680
I mean, I feel like I've seen it
since inception kind of, but

9
00:00:34,680 --> 00:00:37,280
it's an awesome tool.
It's a long time.

10
00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,360
I know you've been working
really, really hard.

11
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:41,800
So we're excited to have you
here.

12
00:00:42,840 --> 00:00:46,920
Before we jump into the demo and
all things Yellow Dig, can you

13
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,320
just give us a little bit?
Tell the audience who you are,

14
00:00:49,320 --> 00:00:51,840
your background, how you came up
with Yellow Dig, and then we're

15
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,600
going to get into the good stuff
we're going to get into the

16
00:00:53,600 --> 00:00:55,360
demo.
Awesome.

17
00:00:55,400 --> 00:00:56,800
Yeah.
By the way, thanks, Polly.

18
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,360
Nadia, thanks to be great to be
here with you.

19
00:01:00,440 --> 00:01:04,160
So and whoever is dialing in,
great to meet you all.

20
00:01:04,160 --> 00:01:07,560
Hopefully we'll have some good
dark conversations as you get to

21
00:01:07,560 --> 00:01:09,760
see and learn a little bit more
about what we're up to.

22
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,120
So my name is Shawna Croy.
I'm the founder and CEO of

23
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,560
Yellow Big.
We are an Etic company based out

24
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:22,640
of Philadelphia.
We work with primarily academic

25
00:01:22,640 --> 00:01:26,480
institutions, higher education
institutions around the country

26
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:27,800
and some other parts of the
world.

27
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,600
At this point, Holly, I think we
had about 150 universities who

28
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:36,640
have been using US and and and
what we are essentially.

29
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:38,160
Yeah, it's.
Yeah.

30
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,560
And and what we are doing
essentially is to helping them

31
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:45,600
kind of make learning more
engaging for their students.

32
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:49,840
Using technology.
So we are a software platform,

33
00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:53,480
but we like to call ourselves an
education platform because we

34
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:56,000
try to focus on, you know,
whatever we are doing is

35
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,600
actually helping their students
to be able to be more engaged,

36
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:03,360
more excited about what they're
learning as well as hopefully

37
00:02:03,360 --> 00:02:06,280
kind of finishing their programs
and degrees, whatever they're up

38
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,840
to do.
So As for who we are, I don't

39
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:10,120
know if there's any other
questions.

40
00:02:12,080 --> 00:02:14,360
No, I'm going to encourage
people to go listen to your

41
00:02:14,360 --> 00:02:16,840
previous episodes and we'll
definitely put those in the show

42
00:02:16,840 --> 00:02:20,600
notes because it it is a nice
timeline of all the things that

43
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:23,520
have been happening at Yellow
Dig from you were the second

44
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:27,080
episode, so that was about three
years ago of the show and then

45
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,480
we have two Where are they now
episodes and now we're doing the

46
00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:32,520
the live demo.
So I would really encourage

47
00:02:32,520 --> 00:02:37,000
people to go back and listen and
also go to Yellow Dig's website

48
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,600
and learn more about the tool.
Absolutely.

49
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,560
So if you wanna get into it and
start sharing more about Yellow

50
00:02:46,560 --> 00:02:48,200
Day.
Yeah.

51
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:52,880
So let me share my screen.
So what I have for the audience

52
00:02:52,880 --> 00:02:58,040
is a quick presentation just to
kind of set some context about

53
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:02,560
what Yellow Day is all about.
And then I have a quick demo

54
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,680
too.
So hopefully that will give you

55
00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:08,240
enough flavor what exactly we
are doing in higher education

56
00:03:08,920 --> 00:03:12,240
before I dive in Holly.
Or do you see my screen?

57
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:16,960
We got it live and in action.
It's all up there.

58
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,040
Very pretty.
Love the blue.

59
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:23,520
All right, let's dive in.
So yellow big, you know, we have

60
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:29,920
been around since 2015, It's our
9th year and you know we are

61
00:03:29,920 --> 00:03:34,920
very happy to work with over 150
universities primarily in the

62
00:03:35,080 --> 00:03:40,600
US, North America, but also in
you know Canada and in some

63
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:43,280
parts of Europe as well
increasingly.

64
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,320
And you know, one thing I like
to always say is that.

65
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:52,200
You know, we are very fortunate
to work with institutions of all

66
00:03:52,200 --> 00:03:54,920
types.
You know, such as, as you can

67
00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:59,280
see some of the logos here,
Arizona State University is a

68
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:02,720
big public university which has
been one of our earliest clients

69
00:04:02,720 --> 00:04:08,480
to Boston University and UC
Davis, Purdue and others.

70
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:11,280
So there's no one type of
university we work with.

71
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,520
We work with community colleges
fully online programs.

72
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:19,360
So the way the platform is built
is to be able to support

73
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:24,520
students from all walks of life.
You also have use cases in high

74
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:29,960
schools who started to adopt us.
We have corporate partners who

75
00:04:29,960 --> 00:04:34,360
are using Yellowdig now for
various corporate training.

76
00:04:35,560 --> 00:04:38,440
So that's kind of a little bit
about the logo chart that we

77
00:04:38,440 --> 00:04:41,120
have.
And before I dive into the

78
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:44,480
actual platform, I want to give
our audience a little bit of

79
00:04:44,480 --> 00:04:49,000
view about what Yellow Dick
does, You know, at a higher

80
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:52,680
level.
So since the pandemic, we have

81
00:04:52,680 --> 00:04:57,120
launched 3 different solutions
in the market.

82
00:04:57,520 --> 00:05:02,320
So our initial product that we
launched back in 2019 was

83
00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:06,720
Engage, which is in the middle.
What Engage does is that it

84
00:05:06,720 --> 00:05:10,880
transforms this whole in
classroom or course based

85
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:15,800
learning from just purely
consumption of information to a

86
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,720
much more community driven,
engaged kind of as students are

87
00:05:19,800 --> 00:05:21,960
actively participating in the
learning process.

88
00:05:21,960 --> 00:05:26,240
So that's our Engage solution.
Then we have also launched two

89
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:28,840
other solutions.
One is our Kinect solution,

90
00:05:28,840 --> 00:05:33,120
which is our what we call is our
early life cycle solutions where

91
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,960
students get invited into our
platform as soon as they show

92
00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:42,360
interest in a program.
You know, a lot of universities,

93
00:05:42,360 --> 00:05:45,080
colleges that we work with.
As you know, there is a lot of

94
00:05:45,280 --> 00:05:49,400
pressure around recruitment.
Making sure students get to know

95
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:51,880
what they're offering,
understand the differences they

96
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:55,920
offer versus all the programs
they can consider, as well as

97
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,800
make sure that they don't melt
out before they actually start,

98
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:01,160
you know, start the program
formally.

99
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,960
So our Connect product really
helps them to make sure they

100
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,200
create the sense of belonging
early in the life cycle.

101
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:12,440
And finally, we have a Succeed
solution, which is our newest

102
00:06:12,440 --> 00:06:16,000
solution, which is focused on
lifelong learning.

103
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,800
As we know that, you know,
learning doesn't stop as soon as

104
00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:23,000
you graduate, finish that course
or program or degree, whatever

105
00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:25,840
one is up to.
But there are ways to remain

106
00:06:25,840 --> 00:06:29,200
engaged with the academic
institution so that they get

107
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:32,000
more value as a lifelong
learner, maybe come back to the

108
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:36,600
program, you know, get access to
newer content or research that

109
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:37,960
is coming out of the
institution.

110
00:06:37,960 --> 00:06:41,640
So being engaged in that process
is what our succeed solution

111
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:45,160
does.
With that, you know, I chose

112
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,440
this picture because, you know,
we all in education are familiar

113
00:06:48,440 --> 00:06:50,040
with this.
And people who are not in

114
00:06:50,040 --> 00:06:52,040
education probably have sat
through some of these

115
00:06:52,040 --> 00:06:55,160
classrooms.
I thought this kind of graphic

116
00:06:55,160 --> 00:07:00,480
explains what Yellow Rig does.
Yes, right, huge lecture for the

117
00:07:00,480 --> 00:07:02,760
people who are listening to the
audio version.

118
00:07:02,760 --> 00:07:05,480
There's a huge lecture hall full
of people with the stage on the

119
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,720
stage, the lecture, the
instructor at the center of the

120
00:07:08,720 --> 00:07:10,560
room, and a whole bunch of
different screens.

121
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:12,960
Yes, definitely experienced as
an undergrad.

122
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:15,960
Yes, yeah.
I mean and you know for Grant

123
00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:19,000
probably Holly, you know the
size of these classrooms are

124
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,160
smaller, but the the what we see
is that the model is the same,

125
00:07:22,160 --> 00:07:24,960
which is the stage of the stage
instructor is trying to engage

126
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,680
the learners and it's always
difficult, right.

127
00:07:27,680 --> 00:07:29,680
We all know that.
Why is it difficult because it's

128
00:07:29,680 --> 00:07:32,600
constrained by time.
You only get to see the students

129
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:35,520
once or twice a week.
And space, because only you have

130
00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:37,680
so many students get fit into a
classroom.

131
00:07:38,120 --> 00:07:40,520
And of course, you know not
every student is equally

132
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:44,200
energetic or open enough to be
able to talk to the professors

133
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:47,280
or talk to one another.
And we all know that learning

134
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,280
happens through conversation,
through true engagement.

135
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:53,720
Because just absorbing knowledge
is not just learning, but

136
00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,600
learning is that applying that
knowledge.

137
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:57,560
We all have good stuff, but it's
very hard to do.

138
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,560
So this is the problem we
fundamentally solve.

139
00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:04,560
So we try to make imagine a
world where instructor does

140
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:07,640
their thing because they are
teaching, but what Yellow Dick

141
00:08:07,640 --> 00:08:11,320
does is naturally engages the
group of students.

142
00:08:11,320 --> 00:08:12,840
Doesn't matter how big is these
classes are.

143
00:08:12,840 --> 00:08:16,240
We have classes around 2000
students now who are taking one

144
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:18,400
class together, but they're
naturally engaging with one

145
00:08:18,400 --> 00:08:22,120
another without the instructor
having to spend a lot of time.

146
00:08:22,240 --> 00:08:24,240
So this is what the platform
does.

147
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:26,720
So.
How do we do that?

148
00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:30,440
Like that's a real question.
And before I jump into showing

149
00:08:30,440 --> 00:08:34,080
the platform, I wanted to kind
of show you what is end result.

150
00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,440
So on the right side, and of
course, if you're listening to

151
00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:40,640
this, what we do is that we
create the environment where

152
00:08:40,919 --> 00:08:45,720
every learner is connecting to
as many learners as possible in

153
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,640
that environment, in that
learning environment.

154
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:52,520
So rather than kind of just
talking to one or two students

155
00:08:52,520 --> 00:08:55,480
around you or maybe in a
discussion board like you know,

156
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,680
picking and choosing a few
prompts or somebody kind of you

157
00:08:58,680 --> 00:09:00,400
want to kind of because you are
the same group.

158
00:09:01,160 --> 00:09:03,720
Rather than doing that, you have
this opportunity to kind of

159
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:07,200
really engage with a much
broader group of students around

160
00:09:07,240 --> 00:09:10,880
things that you care about,
topics that are most exciting to

161
00:09:10,880 --> 00:09:15,080
you, as opposed to kind of being
driven by the instructor always,

162
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,440
which we all know is very
difficult to manage.

163
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:22,120
And on the left side, I kind of
put a little graphic on what is

164
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,960
the underlying theory behind
this engagement is this theory

165
00:09:25,960 --> 00:09:29,920
of connectedness.
So there is this popular theory.

166
00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:33,640
It's been around for a while.
Started by John Dewey, which was

167
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:37,560
he's one of the founders of
constructivist way of learning,

168
00:09:37,560 --> 00:09:41,920
where the students are not mere
consumers of information, but

169
00:09:41,920 --> 00:09:45,480
they have agency to be active
participants in the learning

170
00:09:45,480 --> 00:09:48,120
process.
And for that to happen, you need

171
00:09:48,160 --> 00:09:52,880
three kinds of presence, social
presence, cognitive presence,

172
00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:56,160
and teaching presence.
What is social presence?

173
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,920
Social meanings.
Students feel that they are

174
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,440
actually part of a community.
They belong there.

175
00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:03,560
They're not just sitting there
to be created and judged, but

176
00:10:03,560 --> 00:10:07,160
they're they're there to be
proactively engaging in that

177
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:10,480
environment.
Cognitive presence is of course

178
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,880
not only just understanding the
material or whatever is being

179
00:10:13,880 --> 00:10:16,400
discussed.
But being able to participate

180
00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:18,960
proactively in that engagement,
like really engaging it on the

181
00:10:18,960 --> 00:10:22,760
content that is being discussed
or presented and the teaching

182
00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,640
presence is for the instructors
to be able to interact not only

183
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,120
as the stage, on the stage, but
as a guide on the side.

184
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,920
This is the kind of framework
and this has been around for a

185
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:37,800
while, but the hard part is that
and it's been well proven that a

186
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,400
lot of papers and research that
has been done on this theory and

187
00:10:41,400 --> 00:10:44,680
it's well proven, but it's very
hard to implement.

188
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:47,240
Before we had beautiful
technologies that you know,

189
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:49,960
digital technologies can do a
bunch of these things and this

190
00:10:49,960 --> 00:10:51,440
is exactly what we're doing at
Yellow Day.

191
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:55,160
We are taking some of these
proven practices and we are

192
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,640
building digital tools that can
implement these practices in the

193
00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,640
real world.
So how does it happen?

194
00:11:02,080 --> 00:11:06,040
So one of the things the way we
have designed the platform is

195
00:11:06,040 --> 00:11:09,040
what we call a simple interface
but complex learning.

196
00:11:10,160 --> 00:11:12,240
The simple interface that you
see in the middle if you are

197
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:13,720
actually looking at the video
is.

198
00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:16,520
The text editor that the
students have.

199
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:20,040
So as I said, students have
agency in our platform to be

200
00:11:20,040 --> 00:11:24,680
able to be creators of knowledge
so that they can share ideas,

201
00:11:24,680 --> 00:11:28,640
links, videos, blogs, articles.
And I'm going to show you some

202
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:30,280
of that in the demo when we get
to that.

203
00:11:30,800 --> 00:11:34,720
But they can really be a pretty
kind of, you know, be very

204
00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:37,640
creative in the platform to be
able to share their ideas and

205
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:39,880
knowledge or, you know, things
that they're thinking about.

206
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,880
But what happens in the back end
is the complex learning where

207
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,120
they're learning not only from
the content that they're

208
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:50,280
creating, but also the content
that peer group is creating and

209
00:11:50,280 --> 00:11:53,840
through all the interactions and
ideations and idea sharing that

210
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:58,320
happens into the platform.
So I'll give you some examples.

211
00:11:59,920 --> 00:12:03,400
This is an example from one of
our partners.

212
00:12:03,400 --> 00:12:06,840
In fact, I was in a presentation
and I took the slide from that

213
00:12:06,840 --> 00:12:08,800
presenter.
Because I loved it.

214
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,520
Because this is an example of
one student who kind of created

215
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:17,520
a post in Yellow Day saying that
I admit, feeling intimidated.

216
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:21,600
You know, how often do we feel
that we are very scared in an

217
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:23,160
environment?
Of course, if you know some

218
00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,840
topic we are not.
But learning is fundamentally

219
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,200
kind of jumping into the base
and trying to understand what we

220
00:12:28,200 --> 00:12:30,480
don't know.
And people are always very

221
00:12:30,480 --> 00:12:34,960
scared sometimes and sometimes,
you know, having an opportunity

222
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,760
to be able to be vulnerable.
Is a great thing.

223
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:42,160
So in this example, the student
says that, OK, I'm in this data

224
00:12:42,160 --> 00:12:44,520
visualization class, but I've
only used Excel.

225
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:46,040
I've not really used any other
tool.

226
00:12:46,680 --> 00:12:50,200
Is that something normal?
And another student jumps in and

227
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,320
says that, yeah, that's kind of
normal because I'm in the same

228
00:12:52,320 --> 00:12:54,960
spot And somebody else says
that, yeah, that is very much

229
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,400
normal.
By the way, you can actually

230
00:12:57,400 --> 00:12:59,800
benefit from like looking at
these different resources.

231
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:03,200
So it's not only students kind
of opening up with one another a

232
00:13:03,200 --> 00:13:06,200
little bit, but they are also
trying to help one another and.

233
00:13:06,720 --> 00:13:08,760
Really create the sense of
belonging.

234
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,400
And there are other things
happened.

235
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,280
I've just pulled another example
from a business course.

236
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:18,040
And again, of course these names
have changed, but these content

237
00:13:18,040 --> 00:13:22,480
is real, where students can have
very lively debates around, you

238
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:23,960
know, things that they're
learning in the class.

239
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:26,080
So in this case, you know,
they're in the business class

240
00:13:26,080 --> 00:13:29,680
and somebody says, puts a
question that would you work for

241
00:13:29,680 --> 00:13:31,920
a company whose mission you
don't agree with?

242
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:34,280
Now that's a good question right
in this economy.

243
00:13:34,680 --> 00:13:36,960
Students have to make hard
choices like do you really want

244
00:13:36,960 --> 00:13:39,040
to go for the company that
you're really excited about?

245
00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,960
But then you know you may have
to take a job for the sake of

246
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:43,040
it.
And this these kind of

247
00:13:43,040 --> 00:13:46,120
conversations sometimes students
have in their minds, but they

248
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:49,240
can't really kind of bring it
up, you know, in the front and

249
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:52,960
have these conversations.
So all we are doing is we are

250
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:55,680
creating opportunities for the
students to kind of really

251
00:13:55,680 --> 00:13:59,560
express themselves in authentic
way, have that agency to be able

252
00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:04,440
to then be themselves.
And be able to interact with

253
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:07,960
others in that community or the
set of communities they're part

254
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:11,440
of to kind of really create that
intellectual knowledge around

255
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,200
that.
So can I jump in here just as a

256
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:17,240
user?
Yes, And just say.

257
00:14:17,280 --> 00:14:19,400
Please, yes, I'd love to hear
your thoughts.

258
00:14:20,640 --> 00:14:23,480
Just say teaching at the
graduate level and adult

259
00:14:23,480 --> 00:14:27,080
learners, I feel like this is a
great safe space for people to

260
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,880
interact, not just about like
course content.

261
00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,440
Initially the students are like,
we're going to run this, we're

262
00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:34,240
in charge of this.
I'm like, yes, this is all going

263
00:14:34,240 --> 00:14:36,000
to be generated through
conversation by you.

264
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:39,640
But I found that like there was
a lot of crowdsourcing that

265
00:14:39,640 --> 00:14:42,240
happened in my class lecture.
Great resources that were shared

266
00:14:42,240 --> 00:14:44,400
that otherwise wouldn't have
been shared if we were doing

267
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:48,160
like this post once, reply twice
kind of discussion board

268
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:51,520
situation and the students
really felt connected to each

269
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:52,840
other.
By the end it was like we were

270
00:14:52,840 --> 00:14:55,880
one big community.
We were all together kind of

271
00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:57,880
doing the same thing.
It doesn't put like, well,

272
00:14:57,880 --> 00:15:00,200
here's the teacher, here's the
students on the other side of

273
00:15:00,200 --> 00:15:02,160
the learners.
It's like everybody's working

274
00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,280
together to get towards move
towards a common goal and that's

275
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:08,080
what I really, really love.
And the options, like the

276
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:11,520
polling is fun, like getting
people's opinions about things

277
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,240
and putting in videos.
It's really, it was really

278
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:19,360
intriguing and my my learners
who are graduate level, so

279
00:15:19,360 --> 00:15:22,560
they're well into adulthood,
really enjoyed it.

280
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,120
Yeah, no, that's that's awesome
Wally and thanks for sharing

281
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:28,520
that.
And you know, that's kind of

282
00:15:28,520 --> 00:15:30,880
what we are trying to bring to
education, which is as you said,

283
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:35,080
like you know, students have so
much to say and they just need

284
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,040
that kind of a platform to be
able to kind of express that.

285
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:43,240
So and you know this slide, you
know, just to kind of summarize

286
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:46,840
some of these ideas that we're
talking about is you know, what

287
00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:50,320
drives the sense of belonging,
which is connect with similar

288
00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:52,160
backgrounds and experiences,
right.

289
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:56,360
I mean often students who come
to these programs, you know,

290
00:15:56,360 --> 00:15:58,920
increasingly we have online
programs, hybrid programs, they

291
00:15:58,920 --> 00:16:01,200
come from different places.
They may have not have met each

292
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:03,360
other, but when they have a
little bit of conversation, they

293
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,560
kind of really discover that
they have very similar feelings

294
00:16:06,560 --> 00:16:08,680
and backgrounds and kind of
being able to connect on that is

295
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,440
a great thing for them.
Learning from each other that

296
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:15,000
where we appear to be a learning
that how can happen and and

297
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:18,800
finally active reflection which
is you know, not only they're

298
00:16:18,800 --> 00:16:22,720
learning the content but they're
also learning how to reflect

299
00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:26,600
around that content and kind of
really make meaning out of it is

300
00:16:26,880 --> 00:16:28,920
you know that really drives a
sense of belonging for the

301
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:31,200
students in our platform and for
the instructors.

302
00:16:31,200 --> 00:16:32,680
I mean, what we hear from them
is.

303
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,000
You know, they get to learn from
the students.

304
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:38,480
We, you know, it's very kind of,
you know, interesting how often

305
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:41,160
we hear from instructors saying
that, oh, I just had no idea

306
00:16:41,560 --> 00:16:43,120
that this is happening in the
real world.

307
00:16:43,120 --> 00:16:45,840
And my students share this idea
with me Or somebody posted in

308
00:16:45,840 --> 00:16:47,760
the other day and they'll bring
that into the classroom

309
00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:49,800
discussion.
And a lot of the classroom

310
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,400
discussion, which used to be a
lot of work for the instructors,

311
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:55,520
would actually happen from
Yellow Day as opposed to kind of

312
00:16:55,520 --> 00:16:57,360
really preparing for these
courses classes.

313
00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:00,920
And you know interesting and
unique experiences and

314
00:17:00,920 --> 00:17:02,600
backgrounds.
I mean instructors always feel

315
00:17:02,600 --> 00:17:05,680
that they also shared with us
that you know they they also

316
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:08,319
feel a sense of belonging with
their students because you know

317
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:10,920
being an instructor is difficult
sometimes if you if you don't

318
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:14,480
know who their students are and
and and that really helps.

319
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:18,319
And having a platform like this
kind of helps And one final

320
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:20,560
thing and you know and I'm kind
of going to show you the

321
00:17:20,560 --> 00:17:23,400
platform itself is there's a lot
of data that we provide to the

322
00:17:23,400 --> 00:17:26,680
instructors because.
You know, having a community is

323
00:17:26,680 --> 00:17:28,640
of course interesting,
especially when the students

324
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:30,680
have agency.
But it's also interesting to

325
00:17:30,680 --> 00:17:33,800
understand that who is engaging,
who is not engaging, how much

326
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:36,760
they're engaging.
We have different scores in the

327
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,000
platform, such as sharing,
listening, interacting scores

328
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:41,720
and that all mean different
things.

329
00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:45,080
And we track a lot of data in
the background, but we kind of

330
00:17:45,080 --> 00:17:48,080
try to make it simple for the
instructors to understand, kind

331
00:17:48,080 --> 00:17:50,640
of get a pulse on how things are
going and where things are kind

332
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:53,120
of maybe not going as much.
We show benchmarks.

333
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,800
Comparing different communities
within the same network or the

334
00:17:56,800 --> 00:18:00,520
institution or across the, you
know, across the alerted network

335
00:18:01,640 --> 00:18:03,400
all to kind of help the
instructors to kind of make more

336
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,040
meaning out of the interaction
patterns.

337
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:09,200
So with that, oh, there's one
last slide I'll kind of show

338
00:18:09,200 --> 00:18:14,280
before I kind of show you the
platform and and kind of dig

339
00:18:14,280 --> 00:18:16,480
into the some of the features
and functionalities of the

340
00:18:16,480 --> 00:18:21,120
platform is what does it mean
for the institution, right.

341
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:24,840
Who adopt yellowdig?
So typically for an institution,

342
00:18:25,360 --> 00:18:29,880
often we find that an innovative
instructor or instructional

343
00:18:29,880 --> 00:18:33,920
designer would kind of bring in
yellowdig into their program and

344
00:18:33,920 --> 00:18:36,840
really start using it in a
limited number of forces where

345
00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:38,480
they see there is an immediate
need.

346
00:18:39,120 --> 00:18:41,680
But then what happens is that
once the instructor starts using

347
00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:44,840
it and the word spreads through
the students or the faculty and

348
00:18:44,840 --> 00:18:47,240
it kind of really spreads
quickly from there.

349
00:18:47,240 --> 00:18:50,360
Like we have institutions where
we started with like 5 courses.

350
00:18:50,360 --> 00:18:53,320
Now we have thousands of courses
using US for some of these large

351
00:18:53,320 --> 00:18:57,400
public universities.
But from a from a value

352
00:18:57,400 --> 00:19:00,160
standpoint, there are three big
things that we see that our

353
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,960
clients talk about when they're
not Yellow Day.

354
00:19:03,920 --> 00:19:07,560
The first one is the the biggest
thing we hear is the sense of

355
00:19:07,560 --> 00:19:11,800
belonging And we do surveys.
For example, the the latest

356
00:19:11,800 --> 00:19:17,000
surveys that we did in the last
quarter, 77% of our users said

357
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:19,640
that once they started using
Yellow Dig that they had a

358
00:19:19,640 --> 00:19:24,000
greater sense of belonging into
their courses and programs.

359
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,960
And as you know, in these times
where mental health and many

360
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,240
other things are big challenge.
Having a sense of belonging

361
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,280
really helps the students to be
more successful from an Academy

362
00:19:33,320 --> 00:19:36,880
point of view.
The second one we very hear

363
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:40,320
often is the time savings for
instructors, right.

364
00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:43,200
One of the biggest pushback
typically for technology

365
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:47,920
adoption is additional time the
instructors or the instructional

366
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,240
staff has to spend to adopt A
new technology.

367
00:19:52,240 --> 00:19:54,800
And when it comes to yellow egg,
because of our game for

368
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:58,160
learning, because a lot of the
engagement is actually automated

369
00:19:58,160 --> 00:20:01,480
from a measurement point of
view, and all of that is passed

370
00:20:01,480 --> 00:20:03,120
through directly into the
learning management system.

371
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:07,640
And we have functionalities like
that which reduces enormous time

372
00:20:07,640 --> 00:20:11,400
instructors will spend in
grading discussion boards or

373
00:20:11,400 --> 00:20:14,600
grading engagements, or
sometimes like following up with

374
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,040
students who are not engaging.
Or sometimes, you know, they

375
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,040
will have in the in answer the
same questions as opposed to,

376
00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:23,200
you know, same questions to
multiple students they can now

377
00:20:23,200 --> 00:20:26,720
answer in one community.
So there's a there's a lot of

378
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:29,320
time savings that happens
because of implementing yellow

379
00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:30,640
Day.
And then finally is the

380
00:20:30,840 --> 00:20:35,000
improvement in retention,
student retention, which is a

381
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,760
big problem not for every
institutions but for quite a

382
00:20:37,760 --> 00:20:41,920
few.
So every 1% of the students who

383
00:20:41,920 --> 00:20:46,000
are retained using Yellow Dick
and we have done studies there.

384
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,040
If you're interested, we can
share those resources with you

385
00:20:48,040 --> 00:20:54,440
where institutions have seen as
much as 8% on an average can go

386
00:20:54,440 --> 00:20:58,880
as high as 15% improvement in
retention just by implementing

387
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,840
Yellow Dick into their courses
and programs.

388
00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:05,720
With that Holly, I was just
going to jump into the the demo,

389
00:21:05,720 --> 00:21:07,080
but I don't know if you have any
thoughts or comments.

390
00:21:07,120 --> 00:21:10,640
Yeah, let's.
Yeah, no, I just love seeing all

391
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,320
these statistics and the
improvements that are being made

392
00:21:13,320 --> 00:21:15,080
because of implementation of
Yellowdig.

393
00:21:15,360 --> 00:21:19,440
And I also want to tell people
how easy it is to put it into

394
00:21:19,440 --> 00:21:22,080
your classes.
A lot of times you think like I

395
00:21:22,120 --> 00:21:25,160
have to learn this an edtech
tool and.

396
00:21:25,600 --> 00:21:28,280
You know, integrated into my, my
classes, it's going to take

397
00:21:28,280 --> 00:21:30,640
forever.
No, I did it in 20 minutes or

398
00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:33,800
less and it was, it was really
easy and I work with my IT group

399
00:21:33,800 --> 00:21:36,560
to get it implemented into
canvas and we were up and

400
00:21:36,560 --> 00:21:38,320
running and the students were in
there.

401
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:42,680
So everything is is is really
easy and intuitive and I love

402
00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:47,280
the fact that it it's it's like
that because I think there's a

403
00:21:47,280 --> 00:21:49,800
lot of tools out there that
really do create some barriers

404
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:55,800
for people and this one does not
great no thanks for sharing.

405
00:21:55,800 --> 00:22:00,120
And so you know very quickly to
jump into the platform then is

406
00:22:00,520 --> 00:22:02,760
what you're looking at right now
is yellow leg.

407
00:22:03,520 --> 00:22:07,520
You know it's a web app and you
can use that you know in a

408
00:22:07,520 --> 00:22:10,840
mobile phone or a tablet or you
know in our website.

409
00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:15,080
But the the thing that to point
out is that there is no separate

410
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:19,160
login password.
We always follow a one click

411
00:22:19,160 --> 00:22:23,760
implementation where students if
you are in a course in canvas or

412
00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:27,480
blackboard or any other LMS with
one click from your course you

413
00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:31,640
can join a yellow rig community.
So in a Canvas for example, I

414
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:36,240
can show you these examples with
you where every course that you

415
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,440
know typically this is what
you're looking at is Canvas or

416
00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:43,400
Ms. You may be using other LMSS.
But irrespective of that when

417
00:22:43,400 --> 00:22:48,240
you are in, you know in a canvas
course you can integrate yellow

418
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:51,040
in a variety of ways.
You can have integrated in the

419
00:22:51,040 --> 00:22:55,360
left panel, you can add it as an
assignment and our academic

420
00:22:55,360 --> 00:22:57,880
teams kind of works with you to
kind of do the integration.

421
00:22:57,880 --> 00:23:01,160
But as Holly mentioned, we use
LDI 1.3 which is.

422
00:23:01,280 --> 00:23:03,320
Literally, are you sharing?
Are you sharing the?

423
00:23:04,800 --> 00:23:07,120
Just a quick, I want to make
sure we get the screen up there

424
00:23:07,120 --> 00:23:09,480
for the demo portion.
Nadi and I are probably going to

425
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:11,640
cameras off so that the
recording just has you on the

426
00:23:11,640 --> 00:23:13,480
screen, but are you sharing the
demo portion yet?

427
00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:15,280
Because we just, we're just
seeing the slide.

428
00:23:16,880 --> 00:23:19,200
You know what that's a good
thing that you pointed out

429
00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:24,120
because I was, I was talking
about another screen, all right.

430
00:23:24,120 --> 00:23:28,040
So yes, could that be caught in
the?

431
00:23:29,520 --> 00:23:35,320
Chat.
What a great teammate Bree is

432
00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,640
the best.
She always catches these things.

433
00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,200
So thanks Bree.
You can see my screen now.

434
00:23:43,640 --> 00:23:47,440
Yes, there it is.
Awesome.

435
00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:50,840
So this is yellow League, you
know it's like some things to

436
00:23:50,840 --> 00:23:52,840
kind of point out here.
So I'm going to show you the

437
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:56,560
simple part of yellow League,
which is how the user experience

438
00:23:56,560 --> 00:24:00,120
works and the integration with
LMS, which is very simple.

439
00:24:00,120 --> 00:24:02,800
It takes a few minutes and then
you get launched from the LMS

440
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:06,320
right into the platform.
But there are a lot of settings

441
00:24:06,320 --> 00:24:10,080
that we allow our institutions
to do in the back end to be make

442
00:24:10,080 --> 00:24:12,440
sure that they implement the LED
in the right way.

443
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:16,400
So there are ways to implement
the loading in your program so

444
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,040
you can do it at a program
level, at a university level.

445
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:22,480
And there are various ways to
organize your communities by

446
00:24:22,480 --> 00:24:27,600
various networks and sub
networks and you can give access

447
00:24:27,600 --> 00:24:31,440
rights in a certain way so that
one college has access to one

448
00:24:31,440 --> 00:24:35,480
network or sub network and other
colleges and other access levels

449
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:37,520
and the data is also partitioned
like that.

450
00:24:37,520 --> 00:24:42,160
So I just wanted to point out is
that there are quite a few

451
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:45,560
things that we have designed the
platform around to be able to

452
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:49,040
hundreds and thousands of users
in our institution and be able

453
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,040
to manage it.
But from a user point of view,

454
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,160
from a faculty or a student or
administrator point of view, it

455
00:24:55,160 --> 00:24:57,560
is extremely simple to
integrate.

456
00:24:57,560 --> 00:25:02,680
So you can imagine imagine the
idea 1.3 integration with your

457
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:05,200
learning management system.
You can launch from there and

458
00:25:05,200 --> 00:25:07,400
this is where you come and when
you come here, this is what it

459
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:12,280
looks like.
It's a very social media type

460
00:25:12,280 --> 00:25:16,520
engagement platform as I was
sharing where you know, you

461
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:19,480
know, users are so much used to
kind of a scroll view where you

462
00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,920
can get, scroll and see content
what their classmates or their

463
00:25:23,280 --> 00:25:25,880
peer group is kind of posting
and commenting on.

464
00:25:26,720 --> 00:25:29,640
So it's very kind of similarly
designed so that you don't have

465
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:33,080
to really click multiple times
to get to a post or a comment.

466
00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:36,720
But what we do is that we
actually bubble the content on

467
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,880
the top that is driving the
highest amount of engagement.

468
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:41,600
So that's how the feed is
filtered.

469
00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,040
So if you come, let's say in the
in an afternoon to look at the

470
00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:48,640
community for your course or
your program, you'll see content

471
00:25:48,640 --> 00:25:51,720
that your peer group is actually
engaging around at that time.

472
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:54,760
But if you come later on, you
might see a different feed view

473
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:57,560
because those content is
actually kind of bubbling up on

474
00:25:57,560 --> 00:25:58,960
the top.
So that's kind of how we've

475
00:25:58,960 --> 00:26:00,880
designed it from a user point of
view.

476
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,560
You don't have to really do much
to see the most, you know,

477
00:26:03,560 --> 00:26:05,800
mostly the interesting content
that you would like to see.

478
00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:09,520
Firstly, I want to get to the
content creation because, you

479
00:26:09,520 --> 00:26:13,040
know, I started with saying that
it's a simple interface, but

480
00:26:13,040 --> 00:26:15,120
there are complexities which is
behind it.

481
00:26:15,120 --> 00:26:19,240
So this is how the post creation
works, and the first thing you

482
00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,280
do is that you select topics.
What are topics?

483
00:26:22,280 --> 00:26:25,320
Topics are ones that your
instructor or your admins Topper

484
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:30,000
design to keep the discussion on
a certain set of topics that are

485
00:26:30,000 --> 00:26:31,640
relevant for the community,
right?

486
00:26:31,640 --> 00:26:35,760
For a for a finance course for
example, topics could be various

487
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:39,360
financial finance modeling
exercise that you're kind of

488
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:41,040
going to learn in that part of
the course.

489
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:44,280
For a different course of the
program, it'd be very different.

490
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:48,400
So these are customizable.
Users can select multiple topics

491
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:49,560
here.
So I'm just going to show you

492
00:26:49,560 --> 00:26:51,800
how different topics can be
selected.

493
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:55,360
Topics can have points, not a
point that we have.

494
00:26:55,360 --> 00:26:58,400
This concept of points which is
a game for learning approach.

495
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:00,760
I'll talk about that.
So there is some amount of

496
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,120
embedding of points into topics
so that you can create different

497
00:27:04,120 --> 00:27:05,840
types of incentives for the
learners.

498
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,040
Once you select that these are
the bright things on the top,

499
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:13,440
then you can have there are
other things like you know,

500
00:27:13,440 --> 00:27:17,280
scheduling of posts, you can go
anonymous, you can pin to top

501
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:19,520
where the posts will be kind of
sticking on the top.

502
00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:22,320
So there's kind of various admin
level functionalities that you

503
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:25,120
have on a post.
But primarily when you're in

504
00:27:25,120 --> 00:27:28,200
this content area, one of the
ways we have designed this is to

505
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,440
be very content rich.
Very often our students are kind

506
00:27:32,440 --> 00:27:35,040
of creating content.
This is just not text like text

507
00:27:35,040 --> 00:27:37,440
is.
Of course you can normally done

508
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:42,040
but but you can create
multimedia in the platform like

509
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,240
for example.
And I'm just going to drop in an

510
00:27:44,240 --> 00:27:46,720
image here.
So you can drop in an image and

511
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,200
you can resize it.
You can imagine like so many

512
00:27:49,200 --> 00:27:53,200
courses that can benefit from
having different types of image

513
00:27:53,200 --> 00:27:57,240
configuration.
A very popular feature is for us

514
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:00,360
to create short videos, right?
You can imagine in this world we

515
00:28:00,360 --> 00:28:02,600
are living in, where learners
are going online, increasingly

516
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,240
they can actually express using
saying and words, and language

517
00:28:06,240 --> 00:28:09,080
learning courses can use that.
Sometimes introductions of

518
00:28:09,080 --> 00:28:12,800
professors or students can
benefit from creating videos.

519
00:28:14,240 --> 00:28:17,960
And here I'm just going to show
you a very quickly what kind of

520
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,480
videos can be created.
So it's all browser embedded.

521
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,160
You don't have to download
anything.

522
00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:26,840
It's all in the browser and and
then, you know, it gives you a

523
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:29,640
pointer and you can start
talking and as you're talking

524
00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,760
it, it gets recorded.
And then all you have to do is

525
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:35,560
you can just get pause or you
can just kind of drop it here so

526
00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:39,440
the video will automatically get
get added into a post, you know,

527
00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:44,560
multiple videos if you want.
We recently have launched, you

528
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:48,360
know, transcription of videos so
that it'll automatically

529
00:28:48,360 --> 00:28:53,560
transcribe your language into a
text that you can also edit.

530
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:58,840
We are supporting most languages
now, so you can speak in foreign

531
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:00,560
languages.
I mean, this is kind of becoming

532
00:29:00,560 --> 00:29:03,640
A use case for us where foreign
languages courses are using us

533
00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:07,800
to have the students speak in
various languages and kind of

534
00:29:07,800 --> 00:29:09,760
actually also see the
transcription of that.

535
00:29:09,880 --> 00:29:15,200
Those videos automatically done
other things like attachments

536
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:17,400
and all you can imagine
different types of attachments.

537
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,600
Emojis drawings is a big kind of
factor for us like for various

538
00:29:21,600 --> 00:29:24,560
like engineering type of STEM
courses, as you can imagine,

539
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:28,080
let's say I just uploaded this
picture, I can just immediately

540
00:29:28,080 --> 00:29:32,400
click on it and I can say, you
know, I can start drawing it.

541
00:29:32,400 --> 00:29:35,920
So I'm going to create a little
shovel here if you know this is

542
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:39,360
special for us.
I didn't need to do the last

543
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:44,040
part of that.
So I can go back.

544
00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:45,920
Yeah, this is a little shovel
right now.

545
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:50,000
So with that I can just save it.
It goes right there.

546
00:29:50,240 --> 00:29:53,160
So you see this is how the
feature works.

547
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:58,000
Other things, you know how you
mentioned polling, quite popular

548
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:01,960
for us, so you can post
something and ask feedback right

549
00:30:01,960 --> 00:30:05,640
there in the poll and you can do
all sorts of configuration, how

550
00:30:05,640 --> 00:30:08,440
the poll will appear, whether
you will see the results.

551
00:30:08,440 --> 00:30:11,600
Before the user votes, After the
user votes, never show the

552
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,400
results.
Timing, whether you want to give

553
00:30:14,400 --> 00:30:18,040
the students or you know whoever
you're posting that like a week,

554
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,320
maybe a day, maybe unlimited
different configurations

555
00:30:21,320 --> 00:30:23,920
available and it becomes easy
way for the instruct, you know,

556
00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:25,960
for everybody to kind of react
to one another.

557
00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:29,880
The final thing I'll show very
quickly is our other kind of

558
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:32,680
advanced functionalities.
You can create tables like you

559
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:37,560
have tablet view you can imagine
for getting feedback from

560
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:39,840
students you can want you may
want to kind of you know make

561
00:30:39,840 --> 00:30:44,120
information easily accessible.
You can face links you know I'm

562
00:30:44,160 --> 00:30:47,080
just going to show you I have a
website open here so I'm just

563
00:30:47,080 --> 00:30:50,960
going to show you quickly how
that works so I can just paste

564
00:30:50,960 --> 00:30:53,360
it a link here.
What it does is that it

565
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:57,120
automatically pulls in a snippet
of that article in the below so

566
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,520
that you get to see what the
article is all about.

567
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:04,880
You can you know I'm just going
to paste some code and show you

568
00:31:04,880 --> 00:31:07,960
like you know if you're in a
STEM course, you can essentially

569
00:31:07,960 --> 00:31:12,880
go in there and select a code
block and this is Python as you

570
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:17,320
know if you're in analytics you
know Python is a very popular

571
00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:22,360
language and if you do that you
know the code can, the code gets

572
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:26,560
pretty much kind of so shown
here.

573
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,920
Sorry it just got deleted but
yeah you can imagine it can be

574
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:31,040
done.
So there are various other

575
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,240
functions, a lot of you know, a
lot of like formatting options

576
00:31:34,240 --> 00:31:37,680
available and things like that.
So you get a picture what what

577
00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:40,720
this does, it kind of you can
create pretty pretty kind of

578
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,360
comprehensive posts and
comments.

579
00:31:42,920 --> 00:31:45,800
And right below here what you're
seeing here is that our point

580
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,440
system.
So what the point system does is

581
00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:52,240
that it automatically tracks
participation in a certain way

582
00:31:53,000 --> 00:31:58,320
and we also create incentives
for our learners to share, you

583
00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:00,680
know interact in a certain way
that drives certain kind of

584
00:32:00,680 --> 00:32:03,000
engagement.
So you saw that graph before

585
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,520
where we are encouraging
students to talk to one another.

586
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,720
So here as you can see, like you
want 40 points for creating a

587
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:11,160
new post.
If you meet a certain word

588
00:32:11,160 --> 00:32:15,000
count, you get 240 points.
And then if you attach the

589
00:32:15,000 --> 00:32:18,120
video, you have 75 points.
So we are incentivizing students

590
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:22,400
to actually be more proactive
and attach videos so that the

591
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:24,800
post could be a lot more
interesting for the peer group.

592
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:29,320
And these are all customizable.
So what we do for our

593
00:32:29,320 --> 00:32:33,440
instructors is we have an AI
engine that looks at thousands

594
00:32:33,440 --> 00:32:36,280
and thousands of communities to
understand what kind of point

595
00:32:36,280 --> 00:32:39,160
system is going to try the best
results for the students.

596
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:41,960
So we have a default setting
that is AI driven.

597
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,480
The instructors have the ability
to go in there and kind of

598
00:32:45,520 --> 00:32:48,920
customize the points whenever
they want.

599
00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:52,120
And this is on the right side.
You see the little widget here

600
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:55,200
which shows you the points and
it has a lot of details here in

601
00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,280
terms of how the points work.
You know you have a

602
00:32:58,280 --> 00:33:01,280
participation log like how
you're earning those points,

603
00:33:02,320 --> 00:33:04,840
earning point settings.
This kind of shows you how the

604
00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:07,960
points work like your
participation points.

605
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:11,360
Then you what you call a social
points where you want points

606
00:33:11,360 --> 00:33:14,480
because other students are
interacting with your content,

607
00:33:14,480 --> 00:33:17,640
which kind of is important for
us to create that peer-to-peer

608
00:33:17,640 --> 00:33:20,640
learning environment.
And finally we have what we call

609
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,480
is accolades with the
instructors or the admins can

610
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:29,160
give and these are the accolades
where you can design these act

611
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:32,520
lists, these also points, but
these are to highlight kind of

612
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:34,800
different types of content that
you want to highlight in your

613
00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,280
community.
So you know these are different

614
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:39,680
examples of that.
I mean you know, like great

615
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:42,600
questions, cool attachment,
helpful and many other things.

616
00:33:42,600 --> 00:33:45,600
So, so this kind of gives you a
sense about how we're kind of

617
00:33:45,600 --> 00:33:48,360
driving different types of
engagement in the platform.

618
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,440
So let me take a pause here.
Holly, I don't know if you have

619
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:53,560
any thoughts because you have
used the platform in any of

620
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:59,120
these features.
I definitely do and I I know

621
00:33:59,120 --> 00:34:02,680
you're saying a lot about the
the points and here I'll come

622
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,240
back on camera.
I just wanted to give you the

623
00:34:04,240 --> 00:34:07,720
stage.
So the point saying you can set

624
00:34:07,720 --> 00:34:10,800
up again that's really easy.
You can set it up how you want

625
00:34:10,800 --> 00:34:15,000
it to be set up in terms of the
the gamification of the content

626
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:18,159
and information and it it slides
right back to the gradebook.

627
00:34:18,199 --> 00:34:22,320
Like Chinook was saying, there's
really no, you know, unless you

628
00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,040
have to modify things at at
certain points and.

629
00:34:25,639 --> 00:34:27,120
For the students.
But it's really easy.

630
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:29,920
It just passes right back to
your grade book and again,

631
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,120
you're not spending hours and
hours grading discussion boards.

632
00:34:33,480 --> 00:34:37,199
And what I really like is I, as
the instructor get to decide how

633
00:34:37,199 --> 00:34:39,199
the points are distributed and
what those look like.

634
00:34:39,520 --> 00:34:41,560
Obviously, Yellow Dig does a
great job of giving you

635
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:46,679
suggestions of how to distribute
those points so that from, you

636
00:34:46,679 --> 00:34:49,440
know, in setting it up.
Again, from that perspective,

637
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,360
it's super intuitive and it just
walks you right through.

638
00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:55,320
And you can add different
accolades, you can add different

639
00:34:55,320 --> 00:34:59,520
types of topics that are maybe
frequently discussed in your

640
00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,800
course using hashtags.
It's just it's it's very much

641
00:35:04,280 --> 00:35:05,480
like what we do in the real
world.

642
00:35:05,480 --> 00:35:08,880
It mimics things we do every day
when we're out on LinkedIn,

643
00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:10,640
around on Facebook, out on the
socials.

644
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:14,040
And it's just something that you
can just pick right up and

645
00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:18,800
start, Yeah, no, yeah, thanks
for that.

646
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,400
And yeah, we we try to make it
very simple for our instructors

647
00:35:22,400 --> 00:35:25,880
to get going and and and you
know one of the questions we

648
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:28,880
sometimes get is that given
there is so much of engagement

649
00:35:28,880 --> 00:35:32,160
that is happening in our
platform, what's the role of the

650
00:35:32,160 --> 00:35:34,640
instructor?
You know, the big role is of

651
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:37,640
course to set up the the point
system and create the incentive

652
00:35:37,640 --> 00:35:39,840
structure.
But after that, what instructors

653
00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:43,960
do is they'll come into yellow,
dig, you know, once a day or a

654
00:35:43,960 --> 00:35:47,520
few times a week and look at
content that is bubbling up.

655
00:35:47,520 --> 00:35:50,480
Like on the right side you will
see trending topics, trending

656
00:35:50,480 --> 00:35:53,200
hashtags.
Right now it's there's no data

657
00:35:53,200 --> 00:35:54,560
here.
But once it's in action, you

658
00:35:54,560 --> 00:35:57,120
will see those kind of things
that are popping up and you get

659
00:35:57,120 --> 00:35:58,880
a sense of what your students
are talking about.

660
00:35:59,400 --> 00:36:02,040
And what the instructors will go
is that look at the high quality

661
00:36:02,040 --> 00:36:04,160
content just like in Facebook
and elsewhere you kind of

662
00:36:04,160 --> 00:36:07,560
interact with your students,
you'll do that and and and then

663
00:36:07,560 --> 00:36:09,360
kind of take some of these
examples into the real

664
00:36:09,360 --> 00:36:12,080
classroom.
And and we do have functionality

665
00:36:12,080 --> 00:36:14,520
in the platform to make sure
that if somebody posts

666
00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:17,040
something, you know
inappropriate that gets flagged

667
00:36:17,040 --> 00:36:19,360
very quickly.
So our we have what we call a

668
00:36:19,360 --> 00:36:23,680
social governance in the
platform where students can flag

669
00:36:23,840 --> 00:36:26,960
poster comments if they find
something offensive or something

670
00:36:26,960 --> 00:36:29,240
that is not useful.
And that will get taken off the

671
00:36:29,240 --> 00:36:32,680
community and immediately move
to the instructor queue.

672
00:36:33,320 --> 00:36:36,360
We have other tools for the
instructors such as taking back

673
00:36:36,360 --> 00:36:38,800
points if they said something
which does not should not earn

674
00:36:38,800 --> 00:36:41,280
points.
And then we have like word

675
00:36:41,280 --> 00:36:43,840
blocking by which you cannot
post certain words in the

676
00:36:43,840 --> 00:36:51,040
platform as well as we are
working on some AI driven like

677
00:36:51,080 --> 00:36:55,520
artificial intelligence driven
moderation in the platform for

678
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:59,120
institutions that have thousands
and thousands of users who are

679
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:01,440
creating a lot of content.
So that we automatically will

680
00:37:01,440 --> 00:37:04,440
help the institutions kind of
navigate that any sort of

681
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:07,600
administration using AI.
So that's kind of in the that's

682
00:37:07,600 --> 00:37:09,320
coming hopefully by the end of
the year.

683
00:37:10,240 --> 00:37:13,960
So I think that this the main
point here is that as Holly you

684
00:37:13,960 --> 00:37:16,200
were saying as we're trying to
make it very easy for the

685
00:37:16,200 --> 00:37:20,680
institutions so that they can
manage you know a huge, I mean

686
00:37:20,680 --> 00:37:24,960
pretty big implementation of
this platform with limited you

687
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:29,480
know in house administration
effort so that it can kind of

688
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,000
almost can go on on autobiot
mode.

689
00:37:32,360 --> 00:37:35,360
Yeah, it it.
I can't, I can't stress enough

690
00:37:35,360 --> 00:37:37,280
how easy it was.
I think that's that was my

691
00:37:37,280 --> 00:37:39,960
favorite part.
And also like as an instructor,

692
00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,000
you can go in and take the
certification course that you

693
00:37:43,000 --> 00:37:45,400
all have and you've been doing
and that's free.

694
00:37:45,400 --> 00:37:49,200
You don't have to pay for it.
I'm going to put a link to that

695
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:50,840
in the chat and in the show
notes.

696
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:52,960
The Yellow Dig certification
course.

697
00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,040
I went through it.
It taught me a lot about how to

698
00:37:56,040 --> 00:37:59,560
manage the platform but also how
to use it successfully as an

699
00:37:59,560 --> 00:38:02,320
instructor.
So you definitely need to go

700
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,160
check that out and get get a
certification.

701
00:38:05,480 --> 00:38:09,480
I mean, everybody loves the nice
micro credential to add to their

702
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,400
profile or to their resume.
So go out there and get the

703
00:38:12,400 --> 00:38:14,760
Yellow Dig one.
Yeah.

704
00:38:14,760 --> 00:38:18,080
And it just takes an R So you
know, if you are interested,

705
00:38:18,080 --> 00:38:19,440
you're going to learn about the
platform.

706
00:38:20,320 --> 00:38:23,280
Yeah, that probably is the kind
of fastest way to kind of see

707
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:27,720
how the platform might help you.
And I just pulled up a few other

708
00:38:27,720 --> 00:38:29,120
things.
Ollie is that there's a lot of

709
00:38:29,120 --> 00:38:33,680
data that we collect in the
platform and we try to show that

710
00:38:33,840 --> 00:38:37,920
into the platform for our
administrators as well as the

711
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:41,720
data is available through APIs.
Many of our partners are

712
00:38:41,760 --> 00:38:44,760
leveraging the API to pull the
data and do their own analytics

713
00:38:44,760 --> 00:38:49,120
on top of what we are providing.
But inside the platform, you

714
00:38:49,120 --> 00:38:52,200
know this data that you're
looking at, this is a graph, the

715
00:38:52,200 --> 00:38:54,800
network graph that I kind of
showed you in the beginning in

716
00:38:54,800 --> 00:38:58,920
the presentation here.
You get to see the interactions

717
00:38:58,920 --> 00:39:02,560
like and if you are sitting in
those large, big classes and you

718
00:39:02,560 --> 00:39:04,680
know watching the students to
see what they're doing, it's

719
00:39:04,680 --> 00:39:07,000
very hard to know who's talking
to whom and how much.

720
00:39:07,000 --> 00:39:10,840
And here you will actually get
to see how these interactions

721
00:39:10,840 --> 00:39:14,160
are actually developing over
time and find those tools like

722
00:39:14,160 --> 00:39:18,000
for example, this particular
student, you know he is not

723
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:20,440
engaging with anybody and he
hasn't been this platform for a

724
00:39:20,440 --> 00:39:23,760
long time.
So this data is available to you

725
00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,120
and you can use this data to
kind of reach out to that

726
00:39:26,120 --> 00:39:27,440
student saying, hey, what's
going on.

727
00:39:27,440 --> 00:39:29,720
And you haven't really
interacted with in this platform

728
00:39:29,720 --> 00:39:32,560
for like a long time.
And you not only get to see that

729
00:39:32,560 --> 00:39:35,440
you have this tablet view, you
get to see like you can

730
00:39:35,440 --> 00:39:40,080
literally can drill down and see
which student is more active in

731
00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:43,720
terms of number of connections.
You can look at like how when is

732
00:39:43,720 --> 00:39:45,960
the last time they came.
So these are the students who

733
00:39:45,960 --> 00:39:48,360
never connected, but these are
the students.

734
00:39:48,360 --> 00:39:50,280
You know, this is a demo board,
which is why it's so old.

735
00:39:50,280 --> 00:39:52,400
But you will get to see the
level of engagement that's

736
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,160
happening so that you can reach
out to the students.

737
00:39:55,160 --> 00:39:57,960
And we also do kind of nudge
notifications from our platform,

738
00:39:57,960 --> 00:39:59,720
so you don't have to do it.
We can actually help

739
00:39:59,960 --> 00:40:01,840
automatically send those
notifications.

740
00:40:02,240 --> 00:40:04,760
But but this kind of gives you
an additional layer of data.

741
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:08,000
We have something called
community health where we are,

742
00:40:08,040 --> 00:40:11,440
we do a lot of benchmarking for
the instructors and the

743
00:40:11,440 --> 00:40:15,040
administration for them to
understand how the networks are

744
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:17,560
growing.
You know, number of post

745
00:40:17,560 --> 00:40:21,160
comments, conversation ratio,
which is a big factor for us in

746
00:40:21,160 --> 00:40:24,280
terms of how office students are
commenting on each other's

747
00:40:24,280 --> 00:40:27,280
posts, which is an important
indicator for us.

748
00:40:27,880 --> 00:40:30,880
We do topical analysis like
which topics are getting engaged

749
00:40:30,880 --> 00:40:33,480
and which are not getting
engaged, so that you get to see

750
00:40:33,480 --> 00:40:36,600
where the focus needs to be in
terms of driving more

751
00:40:36,600 --> 00:40:39,160
engagement.
You get to look at the data by

752
00:40:39,160 --> 00:40:41,640
students to see which students
are more engaged versus not

753
00:40:41,680 --> 00:40:46,240
engaged and also by which topic.
You have health checks, which is

754
00:40:46,240 --> 00:40:51,720
an automatic kind of AI driven
health check to tell you where

755
00:40:51,720 --> 00:40:54,800
things can improve so that you
know of course you will have a

756
00:40:54,800 --> 00:40:57,560
gut feeling, but this will also
help you to kind of understand

757
00:40:57,560 --> 00:40:59,760
what's really happening behind
the scenes.

758
00:41:00,680 --> 00:41:03,880
So we kind of have a best
practices checklist and if those

759
00:41:03,880 --> 00:41:07,200
checklists are being met, it
automatically check for it and

760
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:10,280
then also give you some of the
scores that I talked about like

761
00:41:10,280 --> 00:41:12,640
sharing, listening and
interacting scores.

762
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,000
Sharing is pretty obvious.
We get to see that who's

763
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,040
sharing.
But listening is the viewing

764
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:20,040
side of things.
You may have students who are

765
00:41:20,040 --> 00:41:22,440
not sharing, but they're
actually quite reading content,

766
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,760
which is a good sign.
So you get to see that data as

767
00:41:25,760 --> 00:41:27,880
well as interacting off and
they're kind of talking to one

768
00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,200
another.
And you can compare that data

769
00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,960
with your own institutions or
globally just to get a sense

770
00:41:33,960 --> 00:41:37,080
about how things are going.
So a lot of other data

771
00:41:37,080 --> 00:41:39,080
available.
Where can you go wrong?

772
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:43,640
Every time I hear you talk about
this, I just like I learned

773
00:41:43,640 --> 00:41:46,560
something new.
And I love the community health

774
00:41:46,560 --> 00:41:49,720
section because especially like
there's some weeks where the

775
00:41:49,720 --> 00:41:52,960
students just, they're not
talkative, they're not talking

776
00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:55,720
with each other and you need to
know and intervene in those

777
00:41:55,720 --> 00:42:00,480
certain situations, you know,
making sure that it they are

778
00:42:00,480 --> 00:42:03,000
active.
But also like the community

779
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,720
health also indicates other
things.

780
00:42:04,720 --> 00:42:07,880
I know we haven't really talked
about like SCL, the Social.

781
00:42:08,360 --> 00:42:11,720
Emotional learning aspect of
this and making sure people are

782
00:42:11,720 --> 00:42:15,320
OK like you when you showed that
example about the intimidation

783
00:42:15,320 --> 00:42:19,040
or just that imposter syndrome,
like it really lends itself to

784
00:42:19,080 --> 00:42:23,000
other aspects that you may not,
you know like I teach completely

785
00:42:23,000 --> 00:42:27,360
online so I don't get to see
them besides on a screen if

786
00:42:27,360 --> 00:42:30,560
that.
So this platform really allows

787
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:32,360
you to connect in that way as
well.

788
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,520
Yeah.
So that's a great example.

789
00:42:36,520 --> 00:42:38,560
And I think especially for
online classes, I mean that

790
00:42:38,560 --> 00:42:40,480
makes a lot of sense.
And even if you're finding on

791
00:42:40,480 --> 00:42:43,880
ground classes students are,
especially after COVID, I mean,

792
00:42:43,960 --> 00:42:46,800
you know, it's it's harder for
students to actually make those

793
00:42:46,800 --> 00:42:50,040
connections and a lot of
students are not on campus.

794
00:42:50,040 --> 00:42:53,120
So they are looking for a lot
more flexible or hybrid

795
00:42:53,120 --> 00:42:57,000
opportunities to learn.
So in that environment, you

796
00:42:57,000 --> 00:42:59,000
know, it doesn't matter where
the student is, maybe in the

797
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:00,560
classroom, may not be in the
classroom.

798
00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:03,440
They have one place so that they
can interact with the instructor

799
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:07,320
and the rest of the peer group.
So especially after COVID, we've

800
00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:10,600
seen in a lot of schools which
have come back to in person

801
00:43:10,600 --> 00:43:15,160
learning are leveraging Yellow
Day as a way to maintain that

802
00:43:15,160 --> 00:43:18,040
glue so that students are not
just going to feel that they're

803
00:43:18,040 --> 00:43:21,960
like, you know, out of the loop.
So yeah, green. 100, Yeah.

804
00:43:21,960 --> 00:43:24,000
I mean, you know, I think the
best way as kind of, Holly you

805
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,600
mentioned, I mean we kind of
stop sharing for a second, You

806
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:30,560
know, the best way to learn
about the tool is, of course

807
00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:36,000
there are various
functionalities is, you know, if

808
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:38,560
you're interested in our
website, we have a link to the

809
00:43:38,720 --> 00:43:41,320
instructor certification course
that will probably give you a

810
00:43:41,640 --> 00:43:43,680
really good understanding of
what the tool does and how it

811
00:43:43,680 --> 00:43:47,040
works.
If not, of course, you know, you

812
00:43:47,040 --> 00:43:48,840
can reach out to us.
I mean, there's a link in our

813
00:43:48,840 --> 00:43:52,760
website where you can reach out
to us to kind of see a demo.

814
00:43:52,760 --> 00:43:56,320
If you're interested, we do
monthly webinars.

815
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:58,640
You can join those and ask
questions.

816
00:43:59,240 --> 00:44:02,600
We have a section in the website
where we have case studies with

817
00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:05,840
our partners who have adopted us
and kind of.

818
00:44:06,880 --> 00:44:10,320
Like the three-point O stuff?
Yeah, it's good stuff.

819
00:44:10,440 --> 00:44:14,240
Yeah, well, I mean that's yeah,
we we we have been holding those

820
00:44:14,240 --> 00:44:17,000
conferences also now where we
are inviting our partners.

821
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:20,120
We had a, we had over 25
universities join us in the last

822
00:44:20,120 --> 00:44:22,680
conference and kind of share
their experience with the

823
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:25,280
platform.
So and one of the things, Holly,

824
00:44:25,280 --> 00:44:29,240
we are doing is we are trying to
bring our clients and

825
00:44:29,240 --> 00:44:31,160
prospective clients.
So anybody who is interested in

826
00:44:31,160 --> 00:44:33,600
this topic kind of together and
have those conversations about

827
00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:38,200
engagement, I think I see that
as a way for us to be able to

828
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:41,840
kind of be helpful and and and
kind of have these conversations

829
00:44:41,840 --> 00:44:44,080
about what's really going to
help the students engage and be

830
00:44:44,080 --> 00:44:46,920
successful.
Absolutely.

831
00:44:46,920 --> 00:44:49,920
And I think, you know, we did
have a question in the chat and

832
00:44:49,920 --> 00:44:53,160
Bri answered it, but there was a
question about so you can have

833
00:44:53,160 --> 00:44:57,320
an accolade for citations and
that could be worth like 75

834
00:44:57,320 --> 00:44:59,600
points.
So when they're doing something,

835
00:44:59,680 --> 00:45:01,480
you maybe you're teaching APAI
guess.

836
00:45:02,160 --> 00:45:04,720
Is what this person is asking.
And you can have an accolade for

837
00:45:04,720 --> 00:45:07,440
somebody who does it right or
does it well the first time.

838
00:45:08,120 --> 00:45:11,880
Yeah, that's a great idea.
That's a yeah, that's awesome.

839
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:16,160
Yeah, that's a great idea.
And I feel like these tools, the

840
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:19,320
way that you built them,
sometimes people take them like

841
00:45:19,320 --> 00:45:21,720
for example, the citations
example, they take them to a

842
00:45:21,720 --> 00:45:24,720
different level and you're like,
wow, that's a really great idea.

843
00:45:24,720 --> 00:45:28,000
So you have you had any like
quick examples that you can

844
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,200
share before we go into the QA
part of like?

845
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:34,040
This is what I designed Yellow
Dig for, but then I see people

846
00:45:34,040 --> 00:45:35,480
doing it with this.
Like you said, you're in the

847
00:45:35,480 --> 00:45:37,600
corporate space now.
So I'm very interested to hear

848
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:40,840
how that's going and what people
are using Yellow Dig for in the

849
00:45:40,840 --> 00:45:44,000
corporate space because I was
blind or someone just higher

850
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:46,320
education.
But obviously this tool can be

851
00:45:46,320 --> 00:45:49,680
used across different sectors.
Yeah, no.

852
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:52,880
So I I one thing I would say the
broad comment I'll say is that

853
00:45:52,880 --> 00:45:57,120
what we are finding is the
Yellow Dig is the technology

854
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:58,920
platform and the students is on
top.

855
00:45:58,920 --> 00:46:03,720
There is a middle layer in terms
of innovation where instructors

856
00:46:03,720 --> 00:46:07,160
can use us as a way to
Crowdsource content as you said

857
00:46:07,160 --> 00:46:09,920
is a big use case.
We see instructors are doing

858
00:46:09,960 --> 00:46:13,560
case studies on our platform
where they are having students

859
00:46:13,560 --> 00:46:15,400
to kind of take different roles.
Sometimes you can actually

860
00:46:15,400 --> 00:46:17,280
change your role in yellow date,
you can go anonymous.

861
00:46:17,280 --> 00:46:21,000
So you can have a case study
just being anonymous and really

862
00:46:21,000 --> 00:46:24,840
have get into the content in a
very interesting way.

863
00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:26,400
Accolades is a very interesting
way.

864
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:27,800
We are seeing a lot of
innovation there.

865
00:46:27,840 --> 00:46:31,440
How people are using accolades,
the point system AI does that,

866
00:46:31,440 --> 00:46:34,000
but of course you can edit that
point system based on what you

867
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:36,800
want to incentivize.
If you want to incentivize more

868
00:46:36,800 --> 00:46:40,520
commenting, you can actually
have much higher weightage for

869
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,840
commenting and you can change
those weightage in our platform.

870
00:46:43,680 --> 00:46:47,280
So the way I see this is that
you know we will always learn

871
00:46:47,280 --> 00:46:49,840
from our instructors how they're
using it and then we are

872
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:52,360
building features and
functionalities around it to

873
00:46:52,360 --> 00:46:56,000
provide more and more width of
what's possible.

874
00:46:57,800 --> 00:47:00,120
So yeah, I mean I mean I think
that's how been our approach.

875
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:03,120
You know I think we we we're
hoping to kind of continue to

876
00:47:03,120 --> 00:47:05,600
build a platform in ways where
we see value and of course the

877
00:47:05,600 --> 00:47:08,920
data also speaks to a lot, you
know so how the, yeah how the

878
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:10,040
engagement is actually depending
on.

879
00:47:10,840 --> 00:47:13,960
Yeah, 100%.
And Bree did put a link in the

880
00:47:13,960 --> 00:47:16,400
chat and I will go on the show
notes as well to get the

881
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:19,080
recordings from the conference
and then also your plans.

882
00:47:19,440 --> 00:47:22,680
I love it how when we first
started talking there was one

883
00:47:23,040 --> 00:47:26,520
kind of area you were focused on
and now there's three different

884
00:47:26,520 --> 00:47:28,600
things.
So you're really connecting you

885
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:33,320
know to like the life cycle or
the the the whole life cycle of

886
00:47:33,320 --> 00:47:34,680
like what a learner goes
through.

887
00:47:35,040 --> 00:47:37,680
And I think it's it's so
important that we're not just

888
00:47:37,680 --> 00:47:39,960
like.
Putting in a tool that doesn't

889
00:47:39,960 --> 00:47:43,000
connect them with like career
resources or where to where to

890
00:47:43,000 --> 00:47:48,120
step next in in their future.
Because taking one class is just

891
00:47:48,400 --> 00:47:50,160
like if you're you're in that
one class.

892
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:52,920
But if you can connect it across
and that's really what programs

893
00:47:52,920 --> 00:47:56,880
are supposed to do, you got it.
That's a win.

894
00:47:56,880 --> 00:48:00,640
Win for sure, Yeah.
The first year is such an

895
00:48:00,640 --> 00:48:03,840
important time of the school,
you know, just to be making sure

896
00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:07,080
the students have those sense of
belonging in the first year.

897
00:48:08,920 --> 00:48:13,280
When so you're talking about
the, there's another comment in

898
00:48:13,280 --> 00:48:15,760
the chat, so talking about the
AI components.

899
00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,480
So when you're bringing in those
components, like what kind of

900
00:48:18,480 --> 00:48:21,600
things are, are they going, is
it going to be doing?

901
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,760
Jennifer suggested she said
checking things for like

902
00:48:27,760 --> 00:48:30,080
citations, accessibility, and
other ends that might be on the

903
00:48:30,080 --> 00:48:33,920
rubric for the question or you
know, what the the topic at hand

904
00:48:33,920 --> 00:48:37,080
is.
So can you give us a little bit

905
00:48:37,080 --> 00:48:39,760
more insight, don't share.
I know this is the question

906
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,240
where I say tell us about the
future, but don't violate any

907
00:48:42,240 --> 00:48:47,560
NDA agreements.
Well, I mean, you know, I'm

908
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,160
coming up.
Yeah, AI is a very important

909
00:48:51,160 --> 00:48:53,720
topic for us.
As you can imagine, there's so

910
00:48:53,720 --> 00:48:56,960
many changes happening with AI
and there was a very interesting

911
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:02,000
research that was done in one of
our partners in University of

912
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:05,480
Illinois where they looked at
use of AI which is specifically

913
00:49:05,480 --> 00:49:08,200
Gen.
AI or generative AI where

914
00:49:08,360 --> 00:49:12,400
students are going to use Gen.
AI and especially for prompted

915
00:49:12,560 --> 00:49:15,200
assignments or prompted
discussions, you can pretty much

916
00:49:15,200 --> 00:49:17,960
take that prompt and go to Gen.
AI like chat GPD and get an

917
00:49:17,960 --> 00:49:21,720
answer and post it back.
So there were a lot of concerns

918
00:49:21,720 --> 00:49:25,640
around is that's going to drive
more cheating or you know what

919
00:49:25,640 --> 00:49:27,840
not.
But the real question they asked

920
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:29,800
is that what happens in
engagement, right.

921
00:49:29,800 --> 00:49:33,560
So if students are using Gen.
AI as a way to create content or

922
00:49:33,560 --> 00:49:36,640
the instructors are using that,
what happens to student to

923
00:49:36,640 --> 00:49:40,640
student engagement?
And they compare that in a group

924
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:42,000
of class.
They broke the class into two

925
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:44,120
groups and students knew that.
They kind of actually told the

926
00:49:44,120 --> 00:49:48,120
students what their objective
was, which is around looking at

927
00:49:48,240 --> 00:49:50,880
the engagement levels using Gen.
AI and not using Gen.

928
00:49:50,880 --> 00:49:53,680
AI, which is where they use the
other day, primarily when the

929
00:49:53,680 --> 00:49:55,800
students are creating their own
content and sharing with one

930
00:49:55,800 --> 00:49:58,760
another.
I think what they found was that

931
00:49:58,800 --> 00:50:01,880
you know with Gen.
AI the the content is a little

932
00:50:01,880 --> 00:50:05,200
more longer, they're writing
nicer, but the engagement is

933
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:11,240
lesser because you know there is
something about when students

934
00:50:11,240 --> 00:50:13,160
are a lot more authentic and
they're actually kind of

935
00:50:13,160 --> 00:50:15,200
engaging in organic
conversation.

936
00:50:15,240 --> 00:50:17,640
It's more likely students will
actually engage with the

937
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:21,360
content, whereas in Gen.
AI you know, it's less engaging.

938
00:50:21,360 --> 00:50:24,160
So that the insight from that
paper that came out, which is

939
00:50:24,160 --> 00:50:27,720
kind of something, you know, I
wrote a blog, blog post on is I

940
00:50:27,720 --> 00:50:29,680
think we've got to be careful
about how we are using AI

941
00:50:29,800 --> 00:50:32,760
because AI is kind of fun way of
creating content because.

942
00:50:32,920 --> 00:50:35,400
But the reality is that if we
create a lot of AI driven

943
00:50:35,400 --> 00:50:38,800
content, we also should be ready
for the future where engagement

944
00:50:38,800 --> 00:50:41,520
might fall.
And if engagement is an

945
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:45,440
important factor in education
because that drives learning, is

946
00:50:45,440 --> 00:50:48,840
that the right future for us?
So do we want to really use Gen.

947
00:50:48,840 --> 00:50:52,120
AI for content creation now?
There's some places we want to

948
00:50:52,440 --> 00:50:54,520
of course, but we have to be
cognizant, right.

949
00:50:54,520 --> 00:50:57,520
So that's yeah be.
Intentional about it?

950
00:50:58,000 --> 00:51:02,280
Yeah, exactly.
So, so I think that that is one

951
00:51:02,280 --> 00:51:04,760
kind of thing that came out of
the paper, which is something,

952
00:51:04,760 --> 00:51:07,000
you know, we had internal
discussions around the other

953
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:09,200
side of AI.
Where we are focusing on is to

954
00:51:09,200 --> 00:51:14,440
use AI to make it easier for
instructors and admins to manage

955
00:51:14,560 --> 00:51:18,800
through engagement.
Where one example I gave you is

956
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:21,880
that the point system is AI
driven in our platform.

957
00:51:21,880 --> 00:51:24,960
So that every time an instructor
starts using Yellow Day, they

958
00:51:24,960 --> 00:51:27,160
don't have to kind of really
wonder that OK, how many points

959
00:51:27,160 --> 00:51:29,720
I could give for post, how many
for comments, how many for

960
00:51:29,720 --> 00:51:33,320
reactions.
We have analyzed the data across

961
00:51:33,440 --> 00:51:35,800
you know, thousands and
thousands of use cases and

962
00:51:35,960 --> 00:51:38,800
implementations to be able to
come to the point that OK, this

963
00:51:38,800 --> 00:51:42,840
is the this is the best
configuration for the points for

964
00:51:42,840 --> 00:51:45,880
the best, you know, health of
the community and that kind of

965
00:51:45,880 --> 00:51:48,280
has helped us a lot.
So those are the areas that

966
00:51:48,280 --> 00:51:52,880
that's one example of that.
Another example is, you know we

967
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:56,360
are looking at, you know maybe
AI could be a way to summarize

968
00:51:56,360 --> 00:51:58,200
content, right.
So if you look at a lot of

969
00:51:58,200 --> 00:52:00,400
content, a lot of discussions,
can we otherwise that

970
00:52:00,720 --> 00:52:02,640
information.
If I just want to get a snapshot

971
00:52:02,640 --> 00:52:04,920
of it, AI could be very good for
that.

972
00:52:06,760 --> 00:52:10,800
We we are hesitant to put AI as
a mechanism to interact with the

973
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:12,400
students.
I know there are AI tools where

974
00:52:12,400 --> 00:52:14,120
you can go and actually interact
with AI.

975
00:52:15,120 --> 00:52:21,160
I think, you know, tutoring,
there's a good example where AI

976
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:23,640
could be a good personal tutor,
so you can ask questions, get

977
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:26,600
answers.
But but we are hesitant to kind

978
00:52:26,600 --> 00:52:29,720
of really make that as a central
part of Yellow Dig because what

979
00:52:29,720 --> 00:52:32,720
really drives Yellow Dig is this
organic engagement with students

980
00:52:32,720 --> 00:52:36,480
in a human to human way.
And if you take that out, it

981
00:52:36,480 --> 00:52:38,440
kind of loses its flavor.
So.

982
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:41,800
So we want to kind of definitely
the company focus on the human

983
00:52:41,800 --> 00:52:45,840
to human part of it and use AI
as an enabler of that engagement

984
00:52:45,880 --> 00:52:48,960
without compromising this kind
of interaction that happens.

985
00:52:48,960 --> 00:52:51,040
I like that a lot.
I like that a lot.

986
00:52:51,040 --> 00:52:53,160
That's another reason I love
Yellow Dig.

987
00:52:55,600 --> 00:53:01,400
I don't see any other questions
in the chat, but I do want to

988
00:53:01,400 --> 00:53:03,800
ask one final thing before we
let you go.

989
00:53:04,360 --> 00:53:07,240
I definitely want to.
We want to know like you know

990
00:53:07,240 --> 00:53:10,040
what we you have the AI coming
in the future.

991
00:53:10,480 --> 00:53:13,600
What are you most excited about?
That's up and coming for Yellow

992
00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:15,640
Dig.
You've you've expanded quite a

993
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:17,840
bit.
You have a wonderful team, your

994
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,120
team stays with you.
So that says a lot about your

995
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:21,880
company and culture.
So I want to say.

996
00:53:22,360 --> 00:53:24,320
Yellow Dig is a really great
place to work.

997
00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:26,680
If there's ever an opening you
need to go check out the careers

998
00:53:26,680 --> 00:53:29,480
page because they're awesome.
But what are you most excited

999
00:53:29,480 --> 00:53:32,040
about with with this tool and
what the future holds?

1000
00:53:34,360 --> 00:53:38,840
No, I I think, I mean from a
kind of as a company point of

1001
00:53:38,840 --> 00:53:40,440
view.
I think the biggest excitement

1002
00:53:40,440 --> 00:53:43,680
for me personally, and I know
many members of our team share

1003
00:53:43,680 --> 00:53:46,760
the same excitement is to be
able to reimagine learning.

1004
00:53:48,400 --> 00:53:52,040
You know, one of the challenges
and I've talked a lot about it,

1005
00:53:52,040 --> 00:53:57,160
is that we kind of sometimes go
with this assumption that you

1006
00:53:57,160 --> 00:53:59,880
know, the the innovation in
learning is going to happen

1007
00:53:59,960 --> 00:54:03,840
through better content creation
or better, you know, kind of

1008
00:54:03,840 --> 00:54:06,880
creating more opportunities or
making it cheaper, which is all

1009
00:54:06,880 --> 00:54:09,640
good.
But I think fundamentally in

1010
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:12,640
this day and age, we really have
to think about how to engage the

1011
00:54:12,640 --> 00:54:16,320
students in a way that is
actually joyful for them and

1012
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:19,520
natural for them And and there
is a lot of push in that and

1013
00:54:19,520 --> 00:54:21,400
that's kind of the all the
partners that we're working with

1014
00:54:21,400 --> 00:54:23,680
this kind of believes in that
kind of a philosophy.

1015
00:54:23,680 --> 00:54:26,880
So we are kind of seeing that
grow but I think but that's

1016
00:54:26,880 --> 00:54:29,440
still a small portion of the
universe that we are in.

1017
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:32,600
If you imagine we are working at
150 universities, that's great

1018
00:54:32,760 --> 00:54:35,320
our our growth is happening.
But I think there is like

1019
00:54:35,320 --> 00:54:38,160
thousands of thousands of
universities and and I do

1020
00:54:38,160 --> 00:54:41,800
believe that in that environment
where the instructor is of

1021
00:54:41,800 --> 00:54:45,800
course providing the content and
guiding the conversation and the

1022
00:54:45,800 --> 00:54:48,000
the learning process.
But the students can also kind

1023
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:53,160
of use each other to be able to
create that level of you know,

1024
00:54:53,160 --> 00:54:56,120
belonging and engagement that
drives much better learning

1025
00:54:56,160 --> 00:54:57,480
outcome.
Not only better mental health

1026
00:54:57,480 --> 00:55:00,320
because that's also a factor in
that but true learning outcomes

1027
00:55:00,320 --> 00:55:03,160
are much better in in that where
students are more agency.

1028
00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:06,840
That is a philosophy we are
going under as we build a

1029
00:55:06,840 --> 00:55:10,200
company and we are adding tools
and adding technology to kind of

1030
00:55:10,240 --> 00:55:12,920
create that environment.
So that's why I call it Yellow

1031
00:55:12,920 --> 00:55:17,120
Dig is an education company more
than anything else from a tool

1032
00:55:17,120 --> 00:55:19,160
point of view.
From our technology point of

1033
00:55:19,160 --> 00:55:23,120
view, what we are trying to do
now is to kind of create it to

1034
00:55:23,120 --> 00:55:27,280
be a safe environment, meaning
it is safe and easy for the

1035
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:30,640
instructors to launch Yellowdig
in any type of course, of any

1036
00:55:30,640 --> 00:55:33,800
size of any duration of any
learning model.

1037
00:55:33,920 --> 00:55:38,160
So we are kind of adding more
functionality around it and

1038
00:55:38,160 --> 00:55:40,640
we're also trying to do a lot
more work in the back end to be

1039
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:43,160
able to implement Yellowdig in a
variety of ways.

1040
00:55:43,160 --> 00:55:48,040
So meaning to give an example is
you know when we are working

1041
00:55:48,040 --> 00:55:51,280
with a school let's say with a
four year like undergrad program

1042
00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:53,800
or a two year degree program,
they implement the yelting in a

1043
00:55:53,800 --> 00:55:55,240
certain way and manage it a
certain way.

1044
00:55:55,240 --> 00:55:57,920
Where we are now also launching
into like certification courses

1045
00:55:57,920 --> 00:56:01,560
where it's a one year, one month
program where yelting will be

1046
00:56:01,560 --> 00:56:04,440
used in one month.
So in that environment kind of

1047
00:56:04,440 --> 00:56:06,840
being able to launch in a
certain way so that the learners

1048
00:56:06,840 --> 00:56:09,720
can get that engagement within
one month is a slightly

1049
00:56:09,720 --> 00:56:11,560
different problem for us.
So we are kind of looking at

1050
00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:15,000
that as a functionality.
We're also adding you know like

1051
00:56:15,320 --> 00:56:19,560
we we just launched the the
video transcription which was a

1052
00:56:19,800 --> 00:56:23,280
request for us where you can we
love accessibility so.

1053
00:56:23,280 --> 00:56:25,040
Thank you.
Yeah.

1054
00:56:26,040 --> 00:56:27,320
It's wonderful that that's a
big.

1055
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:29,760
That's a that was a big one that
came out.

1056
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:33,480
We also are kind of also we just
launched another functionality

1057
00:56:33,480 --> 00:56:36,640
where we are going to show like
roster management where students

1058
00:56:36,640 --> 00:56:40,680
are, let's say you are in a
class of 100 students and like 5

1059
00:56:40,680 --> 00:56:42,680
students drop out because of our
part.

1060
00:56:43,000 --> 00:56:45,520
You need to make sure those five
students lose access in yellow

1061
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:48,680
dig that used to be a manual
process, but now we're actually

1062
00:56:48,680 --> 00:56:51,280
showing in the platform which
five students are actually have

1063
00:56:51,280 --> 00:56:55,800
dropped off from LMS.
So that data is easily

1064
00:56:55,800 --> 00:56:57,440
available.
So yeah, there's a lot of those

1065
00:56:57,440 --> 00:57:00,400
things, a lot of in the details.
We're going to leverage the AI

1066
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:04,880
but cautiously I would say that
has been the plan for us.

1067
00:57:05,800 --> 00:57:09,600
So I love the I train, but we
want to be cautious how we are

1068
00:57:09,600 --> 00:57:11,680
implementing that.
Yes, yes, we all do.

1069
00:57:12,120 --> 00:57:14,040
We're.
All like we wanna be the first

1070
00:57:14,040 --> 00:57:17,320
thing, introduce this or
introduce that.

1071
00:57:17,320 --> 00:57:19,920
But again, you do have to
rethink that caution and also be

1072
00:57:19,920 --> 00:57:22,000
intentional when your approach
would you do.

1073
00:57:22,560 --> 00:57:26,200
Well I can't thank you enough
for coming on live and showing

1074
00:57:26,200 --> 00:57:27,280
us all the things.
Yellow Dig.

1075
00:57:27,360 --> 00:57:29,880
I learned new stuff this time
that I I'm not teaching this

1076
00:57:29,880 --> 00:57:31,440
semester but I'm teaching next
semester.

1077
00:57:31,440 --> 00:57:34,280
So I'm definitely going to
implement some new things and

1078
00:57:34,280 --> 00:57:37,680
we're going to have everything
in the show notes about where to

1079
00:57:37,680 --> 00:57:40,600
find yellow dig.
The pricing plans were to

1080
00:57:40,600 --> 00:57:43,240
connect with your team and and
talk to everybody.

1081
00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:45,960
And I know you've been around
that some conferences recently

1082
00:57:45,960 --> 00:57:47,800
because the fall conferences
that are happening.

1083
00:57:47,800 --> 00:57:50,720
So you know, if you see Yellow
Dig, go up and have a

1084
00:57:50,720 --> 00:57:53,840
conversation.
Awesome.

1085
00:57:53,840 --> 00:57:54,920
Yeah.
Thanks so much, Holly.

1086
00:57:54,920 --> 00:57:57,800
Thanks for always.
It's a fun experience to work,

1087
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:00,680
be with you and great to be
here.

1088
00:58:00,680 --> 00:58:03,240
And if anybody has more
questions, you can definitely

1089
00:58:03,240 --> 00:58:06,360
find us out.
Awesome.

1090
00:58:06,360 --> 00:58:09,360
Well, thank you.
Thank you.
