124: Innovating Education: Nectir's Trailblazing Approach with CEO Kavitta Ghai

1
00:00:02,720 --> 00:00:08,520
Hello everyone and welcome to Ed
Up Ed Tech and Demos.

2
00:00:08,520 --> 00:00:11,920
We are super pumped for this
afternoon session.

3
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:16,280
We have a great thing about to
happen and I'm really excited

4
00:00:16,280 --> 00:00:19,280
for all of you and myself to see
this demo.

5
00:00:19,640 --> 00:00:22,960
So we have Kavita and from
Nectar, she's the CEO and

6
00:00:22,960 --> 00:00:26,160
Founder and she has a friend
with her, Vicki as well, who

7
00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,680
she's going to introduce and
we're super pumped today to

8
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:33,080
share this tool with you.
It is one that I just recently

9
00:00:33,080 --> 00:00:37,880
ran into, you know, and I'm
excited to learn more about it.

10
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:41,000
So I'm gonna turn it over and
you can take it away.

11
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:43,960
Awesome.
Thank you so much, Holly.

12
00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:45,600
Thank you everyone for joining
us.

13
00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:48,720
My name is Kavita.
I am the cofounder and CEO here

14
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,960
at Nectar and here with me today
I have.

15
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,920
Vicki, our director.
Of community she manages.

16
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:57,960
All of our active schools.
And has a depth of experience

17
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,120
working in the resident
departments at UC Santa Barbara.

18
00:01:01,520 --> 00:01:04,920
And so she's going to help me
out today with once we go

19
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:07,640
through the demo, actually
getting all of you guys into our

20
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:09,400
nectar sandbox so you can try it
out.

21
00:01:10,360 --> 00:01:12,400
So I'm going to go ahead and
start.

22
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,560
Off with the story.
Of Nectar.

23
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:18,800
I think that the founder fit
here and why we actually built

24
00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:21,840
this as students ourselves is
one of the most important parts

25
00:01:21,840 --> 00:01:24,800
of the product.
And when we do our onboarding

26
00:01:24,800 --> 00:01:27,840
for schools and we go through
our training workshops, we

27
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:31,080
always let the instructors know
to tell your students that this

28
00:01:31,080 --> 00:01:33,960
was built by students who
experienced the exact same

29
00:01:33,960 --> 00:01:36,840
problems that they did.
And we're really building this

30
00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,800
in order to help them get the
educational experience that.

31
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:43,640
We felt we deserved, so to take.
It back to the beginning.

32
00:01:44,200 --> 00:01:46,600
Nectar was never supposed to be
a company.

33
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:50,040
It was simply something that my
Co founder Jordan and I made

34
00:01:50,040 --> 00:01:52,080
while we were undergrad students
at UC Santa.

35
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:54,960
Barbara because.
We needed it in our own classes

36
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,160
and we couldn't find it.
So for me coming into this, I am

37
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:03,560
autistic and I have ADHD, so no
classroom that I've ever been in

38
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:07,240
before has felt comfortable or
safe for my brain to be in.

39
00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:10,680
And then I got to college and I
started paying $40,000 to be

40
00:02:10,680 --> 00:02:13,280
really uncomfortable.
And that's when it became enough

41
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,280
of a pain point for me.
That I said, OK, I've either got

42
00:02:16,280 --> 00:02:19,240
a drop out or I've got.
To do something about it, but I

43
00:02:19,240 --> 00:02:22,880
had no idea what that something
was until I took a class that

44
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:25,200
showed me what a modern
education could really look

45
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:27,040
like.
So the summer between my

46
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,760
sophomore and junior year, I
ended up taking a class that was

47
00:02:29,760 --> 00:02:31,440
taught by a grad student
instructor.

48
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:34,560
So he was a little bit younger
and more tech savvy, but most

49
00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:36,720
importantly he was a student
himself.

50
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:40,080
So similar to us creating
nectar, he understood the

51
00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,240
problems that students were
having and wanted to solve for

52
00:02:42,240 --> 00:02:44,720
that upfront.
So we walk in on the first day

53
00:02:44,720 --> 00:02:47,440
of class and Spencer sits us
down and before.

54
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:49,840
He says a word.
He turns around and he writes

55
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:53,360
the link to a Slack workspace on
the board and he turns back to

56
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:56,000
us and he says we're going to do
this Class A little differently

57
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,400
and I need you to trust me, he
said.

58
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,240
I don't want you to raise your
hand in class.

59
00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:03,160
I don't want you to send me or
the TAA single e-mail.

60
00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,240
I don't even want you to come
into office hours, he said.

61
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:08,600
If you have any issues, and then
whether it's in the middle.

62
00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:10,680
Of lecture or it's?
3:00 in the morning before the

63
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,440
midterm, your first line of
action is going to be to put

64
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,400
your question in the Slack chat,
because I guarantee that one of

65
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:20,000
the 149 people around you will
have a better and faster answer

66
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:23,840
for you than you or the TA will.
And he said on top of that, if

67
00:03:23,840 --> 00:03:25,960
you answer someone's question
really well.

68
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:27,560
I'll give you extra credit for
it.

69
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:30,680
Because that lets me know that
you understand the material so

70
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:33,520
well, you can then turn around
and teach to the person next to

71
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,040
you.
Which is actually the highest.

72
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:36,520
Level of mastery that you can
achieve.

73
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,120
And he said, even beyond that,
this is my instant feedback loop

74
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,640
into your brain.
So based on how you're asking

75
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:45,480
and answering each other's
questions, I as the teacher will

76
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:47,720
know whether I've done a good
job at teaching you that

77
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:50,600
concept.
It was the first class I've

78
00:03:50,600 --> 00:03:52,840
ever.
Taken where I didn't have to

79
00:03:52,840 --> 00:03:56,080
speak up and say I didn't
understand something, Spencer

80
00:03:56,080 --> 00:03:58,480
would immediately catch it in
the conversation.

81
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:02,560
And if I still did need help, I
always had the answer accessible

82
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,520
to me within 5 minutes.
I wasn't waiting two days to get

83
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,520
a response.
I had somebody there that could

84
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:09,920
always answer it in a language
that I would understand.

85
00:04:10,320 --> 00:04:12,800
And every time someone did
answer a question, it was an

86
00:04:12,800 --> 00:04:14,280
opportunity to make a new
friend.

87
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:18,720
So what Spencer did was almost
bring this Trojan horse into

88
00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,400
class, where he put community at
the center of the learning

89
00:04:22,400 --> 00:04:26,920
experience and incentivized us
to learn with the thing that we

90
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:29,280
were most excited about in
college, which was making

91
00:04:29,280 --> 00:04:32,320
friends and building our network
in our community in order.

92
00:04:32,320 --> 00:04:34,320
To be part of that.
Classroom community.

93
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:37,040
You had to understand the
material enough that you could

94
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:40,480
engage with the students around
you and answer their questions.

95
00:04:41,240 --> 00:04:42,800
I left that class with the
highest.

96
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,400
Grade that I got in college and
more friends than I had ever

97
00:04:45,400 --> 00:04:48,000
made before, and I was like a
dog with a bone.

98
00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,800
I said that was it.
Put Slack in all of my classes

99
00:04:50,800 --> 00:04:54,680
and it solves our issues.
So I approached UCSB and I said

100
00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,560
somebody explained to me, if me
and 26,000 other people are

101
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:02,040
paying you $40,000 a year, why
can't you put Slack in all of

102
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:02,840
our?
Classes.

103
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,120
And UCSB was kind enough to sit
me down with their instructional

104
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,120
design department and walk me
through.

105
00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:11,800
The logistical hell of.
Putting a separate Slack

106
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,760
workspace in 1500.
Classes every quarter.

107
00:05:15,160 --> 00:05:17,880
Teaching professors who are on
average. 55 How to?

108
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:21,160
Use an enterprise level tool and
then paying an enterprise level

109
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,240
cost for 26,000 students.
Every year, they said.

110
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,880
It sounds good in theory, and
maybe you have one or two

111
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,080
instructors.
Use the free.

112
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:29,520
Version the way that you just
saw.

113
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,160
But this will never work across
an entire campus because Slack

114
00:05:33,160 --> 00:05:36,240
isn't built for schools.
And I think in that moment you

115
00:05:36,240 --> 00:05:38,160
could see a.
Literal light bulb appear.

116
00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,360
Above my head.
Because, I said.

117
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:43,320
Well, if Slack isn't built for
schools, then I'm going to go.

118
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:46,400
Build it.
I will spare you the bloody gory

119
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:49,160
details, but.
Jordan, my Co founder and I

120
00:05:49,160 --> 00:05:53,080
spent the next year in that same
office with UCS BS instructional

121
00:05:53,080 --> 00:05:56,520
Design department and said.
Tell us exactly what you would

122
00:05:56,520 --> 00:05:59,040
buy.
What would SLAC have to do?

123
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:00,240
In order.
For you to be able.

124
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,040
To bring this to the entire
campus down to how much should

125
00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:07,840
it cost and how should it
integrate with the LMS, and we

126
00:06:07,840 --> 00:06:10,360
built exactly that and a year.
Later we got.

127
00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:14,480
All 26,000 students at UCSB
using Nectar in almost every

128
00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:17,200
single one of their classes,
with the instructors being the

129
00:06:17,200 --> 00:06:18,960
champion of it.
And we got.

130
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:21,400
UCSB to pay us five figures a
year for it.

131
00:06:21,400 --> 00:06:23,400
So we got our tuition back,
which was awesome.

132
00:06:24,280 --> 00:06:27,880
After that, we went on to raise
$2,000,000 to build out the team

133
00:06:28,040 --> 00:06:30,760
and we've now been able to put
Nectar in over 40 campuses

134
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,440
around the world, both K12 and
higher Ed.

135
00:06:33,880 --> 00:06:37,120
So we are really excited.
To not only have been able to

136
00:06:37,120 --> 00:06:38,720
solve.
That issue for ourselves.

137
00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:41,120
While we were in school and for
all of our peers.

138
00:06:41,440 --> 00:06:42,960
But now to.
Be able to go deliver.

139
00:06:42,960 --> 00:06:46,160
This modern learning experience
to students around the world.

140
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,240
Because we really do believe
that this is what the classroom

141
00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:51,720
of the future will look like.
It will look like.

142
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,760
Students teaching each other and
learning how to be part of a

143
00:06:54,760 --> 00:06:58,200
community and finding the
answers amongst themselves so

144
00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:00,960
that they can take agency over
their own learning experience.

145
00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:04,440
And we've seen some.
Incredible results so far so.

146
00:07:04,440 --> 00:07:05,840
I'm going to go.
Through these slides pretty

147
00:07:05,840 --> 00:07:07,280
quickly.
Because I know we want to see

148
00:07:07,280 --> 00:07:10,960
the actual product itself and
jump into it, but really what I

149
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:13,440
want to share.
With you is the fact that.

150
00:07:13,480 --> 00:07:16,640
What we're doing here is we're
on a mission to democratize

151
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:20,960
access to educational resources.
Sounds fluffy, but what that

152
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,680
really means is every student
should have the accessibility in

153
00:07:24,680 --> 00:07:27,800
every classroom to get the
information they need right

154
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,000
away.
The modern classroom.

155
00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:31,880
Should be a place where.
Students feel.

156
00:07:31,880 --> 00:07:34,560
Safe.
To be themselves around each

157
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:36,200
other and their instructor in
TA.

158
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:39,720
So we're really trying to put
everyone on the same level so

159
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:43,120
that you can have these candid
conversations about the material

160
00:07:43,440 --> 00:07:45,920
and that's where you see that
authentic engagement start to

161
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:48,640
happen as a student.
Myself, I felt like I.

162
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:51,960
Was being given all of these
tools like the LMS forum that

163
00:07:51,960 --> 00:07:55,040
were outdated and felt like they
weren't really made for me to

164
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:59,000
learn, but rather for me to just
get participation points but

165
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:00,800
when you meet students?
Where they are with.

166
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:02,960
Technology, they actually
understand.

167
00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:06,560
That is when you start to see
that authentic engagement and So

168
00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:08,000
what nectar.
Allows you to do is.

169
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:11,520
Create an AI enabled classroom
back channel that integrates

170
00:08:11,520 --> 00:08:13,880
directly with your LMS and so
I'm sure.

171
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:16,400
You've heard of the LTI?
Integration we.

172
00:08:16,400 --> 00:08:19,760
Actually take that a step.
Further and we integrate Nectar

173
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:23,280
and I frame it right within your
LMS so that you don't have to

174
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,560
pop out to a different window.
It's one seamless experience

175
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,200
right inside of your class page
and it'll auto create a channel

176
00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:33,360
for every class on campus and
then auto add your students,

177
00:08:33,360 --> 00:08:35,480
your TA, and your instructor
into it.

178
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:38,320
Because we want to remove that
human onboarding aspect

179
00:08:38,320 --> 00:08:41,080
completely, we should
automatically be able to onboard

180
00:08:41,080 --> 00:08:44,840
an entire campus at once if we
want to, or even just start

181
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:47,600
department by department or.
Class by class, so we've.

182
00:08:47,600 --> 00:08:50,600
Built it to be incredibly
customizable to any campus of

183
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:53,360
any size and again I give.
All of the credit to.

184
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,840
UCSB for teaching us.
Exactly what to build that other

185
00:08:56,840 --> 00:08:58,960
edtech tools?
Haven't been able to accomplish

186
00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,360
and that's why we've been able
to see the engagement be so

187
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:03,440
high.
So this should give.

188
00:09:03,440 --> 00:09:05,960
You a quick idea of.
What Nectar looks like really

189
00:09:05,960 --> 00:09:09,600
what we're trying to do is take
aspects like Slack and Discord

190
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:12,440
tools that students and.
Teachers are already used to.

191
00:09:12,440 --> 00:09:15,480
Using and bring that into the
classroom so that they

192
00:09:15,480 --> 00:09:18,720
intuitively know how to use it
and you don't have that huge

193
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:20,760
learning curve of what am I
supposed to be doing.

194
00:09:20,760 --> 00:09:23,840
Here for most students.
They already have unofficial

195
00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,840
group.
Chats outside of the classroom.

196
00:09:25,840 --> 00:09:27,680
That they're using but when you
look.

197
00:09:27,680 --> 00:09:30,560
At research, it shows.
That back channel technology

198
00:09:30,560 --> 00:09:34,440
only becomes a pedagogical tool
once the instructor is present

199
00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,440
in those spaces.
That is how you.

200
00:09:36,440 --> 00:09:39,120
See consistent engagement all
the way through the term.

201
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:40,520
Otherwise, the conversation,
usually.

202
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:44,680
Drops off.
And so, like I said, what Nectar

203
00:09:44,680 --> 00:09:48,920
truly is, is a back channel, and
that is a conversation that

204
00:09:48,920 --> 00:09:52,520
happens alongside the primary
instruction, so as a.

205
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:55,560
Teacher, you get to decide.
Whether nectar is used after

206
00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:58,120
hours when students get home,
and that's when they're asking

207
00:09:58,120 --> 00:10:01,680
questions to each other.
Or if this is a tool that helps

208
00:10:01,680 --> 00:10:03,440
you do.
Synchronous discussion during

209
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:04,600
lecture.
Itself, so that.

210
00:10:04,600 --> 00:10:07,280
You don't have this turn taking
issue and everyone can actually

211
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,680
put their opinion in at once.
So it's really up to you how.

212
00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:13,560
You want to set up your
classroom community and you

213
00:10:13,560 --> 00:10:16,280
really want to give that agency
or to your students by letting

214
00:10:16,280 --> 00:10:18,760
them know.
Here's how I plan for us to

215
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,880
build this community, and here's
how I want you to participate in

216
00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,520
it.
And I think the most exciting

217
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,840
part, and what people have
really wanted to know for a

218
00:10:26,840 --> 00:10:30,440
while, is about SOMA.
So eight months ago we released

219
00:10:30,440 --> 00:10:32,800
Soma.
She is our AI teaching assistant

220
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,040
and everyone's favorite feature
within Nectar.

221
00:10:35,480 --> 00:10:37,720
Essentially what we want it to.
Do is allow you?

222
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:41,800
In a FERPA and COPPA compliant
way to bring in technology like

223
00:10:41,800 --> 00:10:44,560
ChatGPT into the classroom but
ensure.

224
00:10:44,560 --> 00:10:46,280
That you have visibility over
how your.

225
00:10:46,280 --> 00:10:49,120
Students are using AI and the
content that the.

226
00:10:49,240 --> 00:10:51,200
AI is able to.
Give back to your students.

227
00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:53,720
So we did.
About 1000 user interviews

228
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:57,200
before we even started building
SOMA and we asked teachers from

229
00:10:57,200 --> 00:10:58,680
around the world.
What?

230
00:10:58,680 --> 00:11:02,680
Scares you the most about AI and
if you had a magic wand, what

231
00:11:02,680 --> 00:11:04,960
would you never want to do again
in the classroom?

232
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,920
And what we heard from them was
I'm so scared that my students

233
00:11:08,920 --> 00:11:11,960
are going to go to ChatGPT and
get information that isn't

234
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:15,240
correct and I won't know and I
won't be able to correct it in

235
00:11:15,240 --> 00:11:17,320
time.
And then once it's in their

236
00:11:17,320 --> 00:11:21,160
brain, it's there for good.
And the other part of if you had

237
00:11:21,160 --> 00:11:24,160
a magic wand and you never had
to do something again, they

238
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:26,000
said.
I want to stop answering the

239
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:28,480
same questions that are on the.
Syllabus.

240
00:11:28,560 --> 00:11:30,600
A dozen.
Times in my e-mail inbox.

241
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,080
I wish that students knew how to
go find that information in the

242
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,600
syllabus themselves, and so
those are the exact things that

243
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:40,960
we fixed with Soma.
She is an AI teaching assistant

244
00:11:40,960 --> 00:11:44,080
that sits inside of every Nectar
class channel and the teacher

245
00:11:44,080 --> 00:11:47,600
can toggle her on or off at any
time they choose and then the

246
00:11:47,600 --> 00:11:50,360
teacher decides which
information they upload to Soma.

247
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:53,160
Such as the syllabus.
Or their lecture materials.

248
00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,640
And that will set the parameters
for what soma is able to answer

249
00:11:56,640 --> 00:12:00,040
for the students in that class.
So if you have not uploaded a

250
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:03,080
document about the material,
soma cannot answer it for the

251
00:12:03,080 --> 00:12:04,880
students.
She will not be pulling that

252
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:08,720
information from GPT. 4.
And giving them any random old

253
00:12:08,720 --> 00:12:11,360
answer.
And on top of that, every answer

254
00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:15,200
that Soma gives is tracked.
It can be seen by the instructor

255
00:12:15,640 --> 00:12:17,720
and on top of that it.
Shows you the source of.

256
00:12:17,720 --> 00:12:20,520
Where that information came
from, So it'll actually link

257
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:22,320
your students.
Directly to the syllabus.

258
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,760
Or the lecture material that
that piece of information is

259
00:12:24,760 --> 00:12:27,040
coming from.
So we'll show you how to use.

260
00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,200
This and we'll give you an
opportunity to test out Soma

261
00:12:29,200 --> 00:12:32,480
yourself and even create your
own channel and upload your own

262
00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:36,240
information to Soma, which again
completely FERPA and COPPA

263
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,000
compliant.
We're keeping your proprietary

264
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,520
information safe.
We don't even get to see it on

265
00:12:40,520 --> 00:12:42,240
our end.
So you have no worries about

266
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:45,240
using it within your class with
your proprietary information.

267
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:50,160
So I think one of the most
exciting parts is that we have

268
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,720
finally been able.
To see the pedagogical effects.

269
00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,040
Of Nectar on a campus, We knew
that this was going to affect

270
00:12:56,040 --> 00:12:58,800
the student's sense of belonging
and give them a place to

271
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:00,880
authentically engage.
But that is.

272
00:13:00,880 --> 00:13:04,440
Already translated into us being
able to see that in classes that

273
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,600
use nectar we're able to
increase.

274
00:13:06,600 --> 00:13:09,360
The class average.
By an entire letter grade.

275
00:13:09,600 --> 00:13:11,400
It's incredible to see that
happen.

276
00:13:11,800 --> 00:13:14,640
And really when you ask and
survey the students on why is

277
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,920
this happening, it's because the
information they need is

278
00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:20,120
accessible to them right when
they need it.

279
00:13:20,400 --> 00:13:22,960
They're not waiting for an
e-mail response from the TA or

280
00:13:22,960 --> 00:13:25,240
the instructor.
They're able to go find that

281
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,160
information themselves and
continue their learning journey

282
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:30,800
on their own.
So again, it's giving them that

283
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:35,040
agency over their learning
experience and So what we found

284
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:38,440
for best practices from the
over. 45. 1000 users that we

285
00:13:38,440 --> 00:13:41,280
have on actor to date.
Is that the real recipe for?

286
00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:43,920
Building your classroom
community involves these three

287
00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:46,720
main components.
It's building that trust in

288
00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,880
relationships amongst the
students in your class and with

289
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:53,720
the instructor and TA as well,
and then putting everyone in

290
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:57,720
this collaborative environment
where they know we are going to

291
00:13:57,720 --> 00:13:59,760
learn together.
It's our collective

292
00:13:59,760 --> 00:14:02,360
responsibility to make sure
everyone gets to the finish

293
00:14:02,360 --> 00:14:05,360
line, and that's really where
you see a boost in that, in

294
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,160
course persistence.
So once students feel like they

295
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:11,240
are part of the community, they
actually want to show up every

296
00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:14,040
single day because they know
they have a role in that

297
00:14:14,040 --> 00:14:16,840
community and that people will
notice if they're not present

298
00:14:17,560 --> 00:14:19,040
the last.
Part is the shared.

299
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:21,040
Values and norms.
I think this is the most

300
00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:23,520
important aspect of building any
community.

301
00:14:23,840 --> 00:14:25,960
It's sort of setting the
guidelines in the structure for

302
00:14:25,960 --> 00:14:27,720
how are we going to use this
community.

303
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,680
So again, we tell instructors on
day one, you.

304
00:14:30,680 --> 00:14:33,520
Get to decide exactly how.
You want your students to use

305
00:14:33,520 --> 00:14:36,040
this space, and you want to
relay that to them.

306
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,120
Right, here is exactly how.
We are going to use nectar.

307
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:42,560
Doesn't matter if you use it
differently in another class.

308
00:14:42,880 --> 00:14:46,320
In this class I want you to not
use it during lecture.

309
00:14:46,320 --> 00:14:48,160
You're only going to use.
It after hours.

310
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:51,040
Or some instructors say here's
where I'm going to do my.

311
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,920
Office hours, I actually.
Do want you to only come talk to

312
00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:58,040
me on here and not in person.
So very customizable to what

313
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:00,160
your campus and your classroom
looks like.

314
00:15:02,120 --> 00:15:04,920
And again, we've seen an
incredible response from the.

315
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,400
Teachers, the staff, the.
Admin and the students that have

316
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:11,080
been using this at over 40
campuses around the nation and.

317
00:15:11,080 --> 00:15:14,600
Also like I said before.
We're seeing this in both K12

318
00:15:14,600 --> 00:15:17,840
and higher Ed, so the youngest
students that we have using

319
00:15:17,840 --> 00:15:19,400
nectar.
Today are 8 years old.

320
00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:23,600
And it's awesome because they
actually know how to use nectar

321
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,000
better than anyone else does.
These are iPad babies Who?

322
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:28,840
Have been using discord and
tools.

323
00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:31,640
Like that for years.
So they get in there and they

324
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,560
take off with it and it's.
Really, really cool to see.

325
00:15:34,920 --> 00:15:37,520
Because what we're doing with
nectar is also teaching them

326
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:38,880
these.
Career skills that.

327
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,720
They're going to need to take
with them into the.

328
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:41,840
Workforce.
Right.

329
00:15:41,840 --> 00:15:44,960
They're going to use tools like
Slack and Teens, and we want

330
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:48,080
them to experience that early on
so that they know and they're.

331
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,720
Prepared for How do I have a
virtual?

332
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:52,760
Team where?
We work together to solve.

333
00:15:52,760 --> 00:15:56,680
These questions and these
problems together, so I'm

334
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:58,120
finally at the end of the
slides.

335
00:15:58,120 --> 00:16:00,160
I promise we'll jump right into
nectar.

336
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:02,640
I just want to save this screen
really quick and I'll also.

337
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,360
Have Vicki upload?
It to the channel for everyone.

338
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:07,960
But if you'd like to see a.
Live demo.

339
00:16:07,960 --> 00:16:10,000
Talk about how this might fit
into your.

340
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,680
School.
Or even just brainstorm with me.

341
00:16:12,680 --> 00:16:16,000
How do I bring AI safely into my
classroom or campus?

342
00:16:16,040 --> 00:16:19,080
I would love to meet with you.
Please send me an e-mail book

343
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:22,240
some time on my calendar.
We are always here for you to

344
00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:24,720
help you set this.
Up on your campus, because we

345
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,960
know how difficult it is to
introduce new technology to a

346
00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,920
campus.
So I'm going to go ahead and out

347
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:35,800
of this screen now and take you
into nectar.

348
00:16:35,960 --> 00:16:39,640
I just want to pop in here and
say that I really love your

349
00:16:39,640 --> 00:16:40,560
story.
Thank you.

350
00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:45,000
And what you've done with this
and the evolution and also too I

351
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:46,960
want to say in the video that
the LinkedIn live had some

352
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:49,680
technical difficulties.
So we're going to have a revamp

353
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:54,360
of Nectar in the coming weeks
cuz LinkedIn wouldn't go live,

354
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,880
so a lot of people might be
jumping into the Riverside or

355
00:16:57,880 --> 00:16:59,920
just to let you know to ask
questions.

356
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:02,680
Gotcha.
But yeah, I really love this

357
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:04,839
story and this is great that
you're sharing.

358
00:17:04,839 --> 00:17:07,599
Thank you.
This tool and everything that

359
00:17:07,599 --> 00:17:10,040
you've done this is.
This is why we have this

360
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,680
podcast, so thank you.
Now thank you Holly for giving

361
00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:14,560
us this platform to.
Do this because you're.

362
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:17,079
Exactly right.
I think that if we want to see

363
00:17:17,079 --> 00:17:20,640
real innovation happen with an
education, it has to be from the

364
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,640
people who are experiencing that
problem themselves, right?

365
00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,119
We innately know how we need to
solve that and I think the.

366
00:17:27,119 --> 00:17:30,200
Key here is that rather.
Than just building this for

367
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,200
students or just for
instructors.

368
00:17:32,200 --> 00:17:35,640
We really sat down with UCSB and
said how do we make sure that

369
00:17:35,640 --> 00:17:38,680
Nectar has an equal value
proposition for the student the.

370
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,400
TA.
The teacher, The staff.

371
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:43,760
And the administrator We want
everyone to be able to be part

372
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:46,720
of this campus community.
And really, the whole purpose of

373
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,600
Nectar is to build a network
across the entire campus.

374
00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,160
So now that we're in the tool.
Itself, I think one of the key

375
00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:55,920
factors.
Of you know how is this

376
00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:57,480
different than something like
Slack?

377
00:17:57,880 --> 00:18:00,120
Where slack is a separate
workspace.

378
00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:02,280
That you would put in every
single class.

379
00:18:02,600 --> 00:18:07,240
Nectar is 1 workspace for the
entire campus and each class is

380
00:18:07,240 --> 00:18:10,000
going to be a channel.
Like you see right here.

381
00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,360
On the left hand side and so
I'll actually show you this is

382
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:16,680
nectar in just the web app and
you can always download.

383
00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:18,240
The desktop.
Or the mobile app.

384
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:23,200
But where we see. 79% of our
usage happen is right here

385
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:26,840
inside of the LMS.
So like I said Nectar, we wanted

386
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:30,760
it to be no human onboarding
whatsoever and So what that

387
00:18:30,760 --> 00:18:35,960
means is once it's integrated
with your LMS via LTI, it can

388
00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,160
auto create your class channel
for you.

389
00:18:38,160 --> 00:18:41,200
All the teacher has to.
Do is come and press that nectar

390
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,760
button on the left hand side.
We're showing canvas right now,

391
00:18:43,760 --> 00:18:45,600
but it works with any LMS at
all.

392
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:47,400
And what?
Will happen is it'll

393
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,240
automatically create a channel
for that course and it'll Add

394
00:18:51,240 --> 00:18:53,120
all the students from the
registration.

395
00:18:53,120 --> 00:18:56,320
Of that course page.
And it refreshes every 24 hours.

396
00:18:56,320 --> 00:18:58,960
So if you have students add or
drop the class, it'll constantly

397
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:00,640
refresh that registration for
you.

398
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:05,080
And So what we wanted to do was
not just have that registration

399
00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,760
be done so that we could auto
create the channels, but

400
00:19:07,760 --> 00:19:11,080
actually embed it right inside
of the LMS so that students and

401
00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,760
teachers didn't have to pop out
to a new window in order to use

402
00:19:14,760 --> 00:19:15,880
nectar.
They could do it.

403
00:19:15,880 --> 00:19:19,200
Right inside of the LMS where
they already were and that's

404
00:19:19,200 --> 00:19:21,560
really why we see the engagement
be so high.

405
00:19:21,800 --> 00:19:23,200
Because it's incredibly easy
for.

406
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:25,800
Students to use it.
And then like I said, they can

407
00:19:25,800 --> 00:19:28,040
always download the Nectar
mobile app and that's how

408
00:19:28,040 --> 00:19:30,160
they're getting their
notifications delivered to them

409
00:19:30,160 --> 00:19:33,120
where they are right now.
So we hear this a lot of.

410
00:19:33,120 --> 00:19:34,920
Students aren't opening their
e-mail.

411
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:38,200
I can't get the messages to them
and that's exactly what Nectar

412
00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,280
is for.
It's meeting them where they are

413
00:19:40,280 --> 00:19:42,680
with technology that is very
similar to the social.

414
00:19:42,680 --> 00:19:46,280
Tools that they're already.
Using today and so you can see

415
00:19:46,280 --> 00:19:48,960
once we're inside of an actor
channel, it's pretty intuitive

416
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,400
and.
Simple to figure out exactly how

417
00:19:50,400 --> 00:19:52,560
to use it.
So on your left hand side,

418
00:19:52,560 --> 00:19:54,520
you're going to have your
navigation for all of the

419
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:57,280
channels that you're in.
So you can see I even have this

420
00:19:57,400 --> 00:20:00,280
private faculty channel, so you
can have channels that are.

421
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,360
Just for staff, just for
faculty.

422
00:20:02,880 --> 00:20:04,920
And all of the channels within
your campus.

423
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:06,680
Workspace will be available
right?

424
00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,480
Here on the Discover page.
And so here's where.

425
00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:11,640
You'll be able to see.
All of the channels that.

426
00:20:11,640 --> 00:20:13,920
Have been made on campus.
I can see even.

427
00:20:13,920 --> 00:20:16,680
The private ones that I'm.
Part of but this is where you'll

428
00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:17,720
see all.
Of the publicly.

429
00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:20,800
Made channels.
So one of my favorite ones is

430
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,920
during the pandemic.
We had a school.

431
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:25,440
Create a Pandemic Book Club.
Channel.

432
00:20:25,880 --> 00:20:28,960
And so they invited.
Staff faculty.

433
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,560
Students to join.
There was over 500 people.

434
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:35,560
It was awesome.
And every week they would pick a

435
00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:38,600
new book and people would just
go into the channel and chat

436
00:20:38,600 --> 00:20:41,600
about it and it created this
incredible community across the

437
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:43,440
campus.
So really, what Nectar is?

438
00:20:43,440 --> 00:20:47,080
For is wherever those.
Spaces can't exist outside of

439
00:20:47,080 --> 00:20:50,040
the LMS, or you don't have a
virtual community for them, such

440
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,840
as all of the majors on campus
or the dorms.

441
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:55,520
You can have all of that
information and communication

442
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:58,160
flow through Nectar and it also
has.

443
00:20:58,160 --> 00:21:01,080
The ability for direct messages
like you see here.

444
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:05,040
So if I want it to contact my
instructor or my advisor, anyone

445
00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:08,120
on campus.
Again, all of my classroom and

446
00:21:08,120 --> 00:21:12,120
campus communication can flow
right through Nectar, and so now

447
00:21:12,120 --> 00:21:14,160
we'll.
Show you right up here.

448
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:17,480
Soma.
So as the instructor, as the

449
00:21:17,480 --> 00:21:20,080
owner of the channel, I'm the
only one who's going to be able

450
00:21:20,080 --> 00:21:23,280
to see these two icons right
here, Soma and our analytics

451
00:21:23,280 --> 00:21:26,200
page.
So SOMA can be added to the room

452
00:21:26,200 --> 00:21:29,120
or turned off at any time.
And this is where I'll go ahead

453
00:21:29,120 --> 00:21:32,400
and upload any files.
And so I'm actually going to add

454
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:36,360
another file.
I'm going to go ahead and put in

455
00:21:36,360 --> 00:21:40,320
my Python loops lecture and
you'll see it'll go from not

456
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:43,280
trained in about 10 seconds.
It'll train Soma on that

457
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:46,800
information and now I've
expanded her knowledge base and

458
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:49,240
so she has a little bit more
information that she can share

459
00:21:49,240 --> 00:21:52,480
with my students.
So while this is getting

460
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:57,120
trained, Vicki, if you don't
mind putting in the chat the

461
00:21:57,120 --> 00:21:59,560
actual link to join this space,
so.

462
00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:02,120
We will get all.
Of you guys in the actual nectar

463
00:22:02,120 --> 00:22:04,640
sandbox, you can test.
This out with us.

464
00:22:05,200 --> 00:22:09,320
And go ahead and save that.
I'll put it in, I'll put it in

465
00:22:09,320 --> 00:22:10,280
the other chat.
Perfect.

466
00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,640
Thank you so much.
And then what I'm going to do is

467
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:15,880
I can come down here and I'm
going to tag soma.

468
00:22:15,880 --> 00:22:19,640
You can even just type at soma
like that and I'm going to ask

469
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:20,560
her.
What?

470
00:22:20,560 --> 00:22:26,560
Are Python loops and how are
they used in the second

471
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:31,280
assignment?
And you can see Soma starts

472
00:22:31,280 --> 00:22:33,920
typing and she's parsing that
information to be able to give

473
00:22:33,920 --> 00:22:38,240
my students a quick answer.
And once that pops up, we'll go

474
00:22:38,240 --> 00:22:40,440
ahead and show you.
And so again once you get into

475
00:22:40,440 --> 00:22:42,080
this.
Space feel free to tag.

476
00:22:42,080 --> 00:22:43,960
Soma to go ahead and respond to
the.

477
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:46,840
Poll right here.
You can even send a GIF down

478
00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:50,680
here.
So I'm gonna say hi, There we

479
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,720
go.
And I'm gonna throw that GIF

480
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:58,320
right in here.
All right, let me see.

481
00:22:58,320 --> 00:22:59,720
Are we getting some people in
here?

482
00:22:59,720 --> 00:23:03,280
All right, let's wait and get
everyone in there.

483
00:23:03,280 --> 00:23:06,360
And then while that's happening
again, I want to pop back.

484
00:23:06,360 --> 00:23:09,320
Out to the full web.
View so you can see it like this

485
00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:11,360
one of our.
Other favorite tools is right up

486
00:23:11,360 --> 00:23:13,120
here you'll be.
Able to see the analytics.

487
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:16,600
Tab, so there's a live.
Analytics page inside of every

488
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:17,840
channel.
That will show you the

489
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,200
engagement from least engaged
student to most engaged and then

490
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:23,120
you can export any of these to
your.

491
00:23:23,120 --> 00:23:26,080
Grade book for participation.
Points or even to your.

492
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:28,440
SAS or your CRM?
If you want to be tracking

493
00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:31,440
nectar for student retention, so
this is.

494
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:34,000
Great for teachers to have a
early alert.

495
00:23:34,000 --> 00:23:38,240
System to be able to pull
students back into the community

496
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:44,360
as they notice they disengage.
So I'm going to go ahead and

497
00:23:44,360 --> 00:23:47,080
wait for any questions and you
can go ahead and drop your

498
00:23:47,080 --> 00:23:50,080
questions into the actor actual
Nectar channel and we'll be

499
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,480
happy to answer them.
And so I'll pop this up and show

500
00:23:53,480 --> 00:23:55,160
you.
There you go.

501
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:57,680
There is.
Soma's answer So she lets me

502
00:23:57,680 --> 00:24:01,080
know what Python loops are and
how they're used in the second

503
00:24:01,080 --> 00:24:03,920
assignment, and I can even pull
up the sources.

504
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:07,000
To see exactly where.
Soma found that information from

505
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:10,520
and the character in that PDF
and then it'll link me.

506
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,640
Directly to that PDF.
So students can always find the

507
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:20,320
information that it's coming
from all right.

508
00:24:20,360 --> 00:24:24,160
Shut the, Shut the.
Someone got excited.

509
00:24:26,680 --> 00:24:29,520
And then also what I'm going to
have Vicki do since we're coming

510
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:33,600
up on time soon is she's going
to put in the links to the

511
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,120
pricing page so that you can
know a little bit more about

512
00:24:36,120 --> 00:24:38,800
what nectar costs and that.
Is a dollar per.

513
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:41,360
Student per month.
So $12.00 per.

514
00:24:41,360 --> 00:24:46,040
Student per year and we are
billing either by department or

515
00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:48,640
by your entire campus.
So we're very customizable to

516
00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:51,440
how you want to start using it.
We can even put it in individual

517
00:24:51,440 --> 00:24:54,920
classroom 1st and there you go.
Vicki's got our pricing page.

518
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:56,320
Right there for you to check
out.

519
00:24:56,720 --> 00:25:00,520
And then she's also going to
throw in our nectar learning

520
00:25:00,520 --> 00:25:04,280
library and so.
This is a great page where.

521
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,720
You can go through and see.
A quick walkthrough.

522
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,240
And all of the different.
Features that we.

523
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:12,360
Have and the best practices for
fostering inclusive classrooms,

524
00:25:12,360 --> 00:25:14,640
enhancing student engagement,
and you can.

525
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,640
Even see some of the.
Case studies that we have.

526
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,440
From previous schools.
And check out how we've been

527
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,920
able to increase that.
Class average, like I said.

528
00:25:22,560 --> 00:25:23,840
So.
There we go.

529
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:25,720
We've got.
The learning library in there.

530
00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,000
Thank you.
Vicki, I'm going to come right

531
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:28,960
back.
Over here.

532
00:25:31,320 --> 00:25:33,280
Any questions SO?
Far anything that you.

533
00:25:33,280 --> 00:25:35,600
Guys would like a deeper.
Look at anything that you're

534
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:37,680
curious about whether it's on
our road map.

535
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:39,160
Would love to hear some
feedback.

536
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,080
I just want to ask, is the demo
going to stay open for a bit so

537
00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:50,480
if people after the fact want to
explore, they can still go in

538
00:25:50,680 --> 00:25:52,800
and absolutely love it.
It'll be in the show.

539
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:55,000
Notes Exactly.
And so while you're in this

540
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,080
space, you can go ahead and come
right.

541
00:25:57,080 --> 00:25:59,120
Up here to the top.
Left corner and here's.

542
00:25:59,120 --> 00:26:00,880
Where you'll be able to.
Create your own.

543
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:03,200
Public or private?
Channel within this space, so

544
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:04,400
I'm.
Just going to create.

545
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,320
The channel and you can see I
can toggle it between public

546
00:26:07,320 --> 00:26:08,120
and.
Private.

547
00:26:08,600 --> 00:26:11,840
And then I'm gonna make.
Test space. 101.

548
00:26:12,560 --> 00:26:15,200
And I can create it.
And there you go.

549
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,120
I've got a brand new channel and
I can come right up here since

550
00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:20,400
I'm the owner of it.
And set up my Soma.

551
00:26:20,960 --> 00:26:24,840
And I can say hello world and so
please feel free to go and make

552
00:26:24,840 --> 00:26:25,640
your own.
Channel.

553
00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:29,000
Try out SOMA yourself.
Upload your documents to it and

554
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:30,800
pretend that this is your little
class space.

555
00:26:30,800 --> 00:26:33,000
And again, you can keep that
private if you'd like to.

556
00:26:33,400 --> 00:26:35,880
We're going to go ahead and keep
this space open for a full week.

557
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:39,040
After this and so.
You can always go in here and

558
00:26:39,040 --> 00:26:41,920
let us know your feedback in the
general channel as well.

559
00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:43,720
So you can come right in here
and just let us know what you

560
00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:47,560
think about it, if you have any
feedback on features and oh,

561
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,000
there we go, Thanks Holly.
Perfect.

562
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:54,080
So I do see a question right
here.

563
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:57,640
I saw the pull box was included.
Is there a way to remove that

564
00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:03,960
automatically in the data for
OK, Alexander, your question, I

565
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,320
saw that the poll box was
included in the data for

566
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:09,160
participating students.
Is there a way to remove that

567
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:11,040
automatically for the
instructor?

568
00:27:11,360 --> 00:27:15,440
Yeah, so you can decide exactly
where you want that data to come

569
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:16,880
from.
If you don't want to create any

570
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,440
polls in your channel, you
absolutely don't have to.

571
00:27:20,080 --> 00:27:22,440
That's just one of the tools
that we like using in there to

572
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,680
increase that engagement up
front because it's easy for

573
00:27:24,680 --> 00:27:27,280
students to interact with.
But when you're looking at the

574
00:27:27,280 --> 00:27:30,800
actual analytics class page,
that will not be pulling from

575
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:34,320
the polling information, That's
looking at the actual messages

576
00:27:34,320 --> 00:27:36,560
sent by the students.
And that's what we're tracking

577
00:27:36,560 --> 00:27:41,440
engagement on.
Any other questions?

578
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:51,040
Yeah, Gotcha.
Yeah.

579
00:27:51,040 --> 00:27:53,400
Let me go ahead and pull that up
one more time.

580
00:27:55,200 --> 00:27:56,680
That's a good question.
Yeah, so.

581
00:27:57,040 --> 00:27:58,640
Everything that you're seeing
here.

582
00:27:58,640 --> 00:28:01,360
This is actually just.
Coming from the messages that

583
00:28:01,360 --> 00:28:11,750
are sent in that Channel I.
Guess my question here is if

584
00:28:11,750 --> 00:28:15,710
you're the professor and you're
using the poll to track, you

585
00:28:15,710 --> 00:28:19,830
know, engagement like at least
for me, I I would imagine that I

586
00:28:19,990 --> 00:28:23,000
wouldn't want to see the poll by
as a part of the number of

587
00:28:23,040 --> 00:28:24,160
messages.
Oh.

588
00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:25,520
Gotcha.
You're saying this one?

589
00:28:25,760 --> 00:28:28,040
Also envision that that could be
a lot of messages.

590
00:28:28,040 --> 00:28:28,640
Gotcha that.
Could make up.

591
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:30,600
A Non.
Gotcha.

592
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:32,360
OK, that's actually really good
feedback.

593
00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:34,960
I will.
Totally let the engineers know

594
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:36,560
to take off the poll bot from
it.

595
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:39,560
It's just because the poll.
Is one of the users technically

596
00:28:39,560 --> 00:28:42,560
in the channel now, but that's
something we can very easily

597
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,080
remove, so thank you for calling
that out.

598
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:46,240
We have not had anyone mention
that to us before.

599
00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:50,320
That is a really good call out.
Thank you.

600
00:28:50,920 --> 00:28:54,080
Perfect.
Any other questions?

601
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:58,720
Awesome.
Thank you Vicki.

602
00:28:58,720 --> 00:29:01,480
She already noted it and sent it
to our engineering team and that

603
00:29:01,480 --> 00:29:02,280
is.
Exactly why we?

604
00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,480
Have a community manager in the
workspace so that any time that

605
00:29:05,480 --> 00:29:07,680
you need help, somebody is
accessible to you.

606
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:11,200
So in every workspace you can
always come down here to the

607
00:29:11,200 --> 00:29:13,400
Lifesaver icon, and this is
where.

608
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:15,040
You'll be able to get live
support.

609
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:17,240
And so Vicki actually lives
right inside of this little

610
00:29:17,240 --> 00:29:18,960
spot.
You'll be able to send her a

611
00:29:18,960 --> 00:29:21,520
message and any student.
Staff, faculty or.

612
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,800
Admin can use this Monday
through Friday 9:00 to 5:00 and

613
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:26,360
so you don't actually.
Have to put your IT.

614
00:29:26,360 --> 00:29:29,520
Support in there to help post
nectar we will do that.

615
00:29:29,520 --> 00:29:31,920
For you.
So we want this to be a managed

616
00:29:31,920 --> 00:29:34,920
workspace and that comes with
your campus wide contract.

617
00:29:41,920 --> 00:29:43,080
Cool.
Well, right.

618
00:29:43,360 --> 00:29:48,840
On the awesome good timing.
So, so thank you both so much

619
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:50,640
for telling.
Now I want to try it in my

620
00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:52,560
classes.
I'm starting to teach next week,

621
00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:56,080
so I definitely want to talk to
you and maybe try to get this

622
00:29:56,080 --> 00:30:01,160
incorporated because I just find
like, you know, like like what

623
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:02,880
you're saying, like discussion
boards and all those different

624
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,680
things that it can definitely
get chaotic and trying to find

625
00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:09,360
the different things.
And this is a tool that is real

626
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,920
world applicable and people
already know like you know, this

627
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:13,440
is what we're doing in our
everyday life.

628
00:30:13,440 --> 00:30:18,400
So I love it and I will say we
are gonna do a follow up and

629
00:30:18,400 --> 00:30:21,960
have like a rerun of Nectar and
the demo.

630
00:30:21,960 --> 00:30:24,920
So I wanna invite you back
totally so that we can get the

631
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:27,920
live working.
I'm sorry about that, but it's

632
00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:32,600
all gonna, it's all gonna, it's
all gonna Sorry I turned my mic

633
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,680
off.
So it's all going to everything

634
00:30:34,680 --> 00:30:36,520
you share is going to be in the
show notes and this is going to

635
00:30:36,520 --> 00:30:39,560
be shared as a video episode in
the upcoming week.

636
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:42,040
So thank you absolutely.
Thank you so much for having us,

637
00:30:42,040 --> 00:30:43,720
Holly, and we will be.
Very happy to get.

638
00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:45,760
You set up next.
Week for your classes.

639
00:30:45,760 --> 00:30:47,560
Super excited to see how those
go.

640
00:30:47,960 --> 00:30:50,000
And thank you everyone for
joining us for this.

641
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,680
We had a great time with you
all.

642
00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,840
Again if you have any.
Feedback for us or you want to

643
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:56,640
meet with us and chat and give
us your thoughts on what we've

644
00:30:56,640 --> 00:30:57,080
built.
So.

645
00:30:57,080 --> 00:30:58,880
Far always.
Always.

646
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:01,960
Open to hearing it and very
happy to meet you all, so thank

647
00:31:01,960 --> 00:31:04,760
you for having us.
Of course.

648
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:06,360
Perfect.
All right.
