Lens turns Zoom into an online teaching powerhouse that helps you keep your learners engaged, gauge the performance of your live classes, and increase retention rates.
Hey, ProductHunt community! I am super excited (and nervous) to launch my first ever product, Lens, here!
I have been a science teacher to 10,000+ students in the Kashmir valley for the past decade. I have spent all this time to perfect my teaching technique to improve the learning outcomes of my students. When I transitioned online I realized Zoom sessions could be boring for students. Not only did they get distracted easily but also it becomes difficult for me to track who is engaging and who is not. That is why I created Lens – to increase the engagement of online sessions.
Lens converts Zoom into an online teaching powerhouse. With Lens educators/teachers get
- real time participant talk time
- attentiveness tracker
- in-session quizzes with leaderboard
- collaborative browser
- lesson planner and meeting agenda
and much more
The post-session analytics is extremely helpful for educators like me who are keen on keeping a track on who among their learners is doing well and who needs additional support.
With Lens the aim is to completely transform how online sessions work. We want to empower educators, trainers and facilitators across the globe with the right set of tools to make online sessions more engaging and comprehensive!
I am a lifelong teacher and learner! Would love to hear and learn from your feedback. In case you have more ideas on how to further enhance Lens or would want a sneak peak into our roadmap please feel free to hit me up!
It sounds like a great tool for educators to increase engagement and track student progress in online sessions. Best of luck with your launch and I'm sure educators around the world will benefit from your passion and dedication to teaching. Keep up the good work!
Super cool stuff! I'm all for any solution in meeting settings that help create additional engagement from participants who would otherwise be checked out or too shy to contribute. I think that it's awesome that you're getting metrics to help you quantify who's participating and who is not. More importantly, you're providing teachers and managers a way to gamify the experience to help get more people involved.
A cool features that I often wanted as a manager on video calls where people checkout would be an AI moderator that would help nudge specific participants who have a low contribution score. This could be a simple call out in the meeting "Hey Bob, what do you think about this topic?". When you call people out to contribute it can be scary for them, but will help get them more used to contributing (especially if it occurs enough). Looking forward to seeing where this goes!
@cjries We've got this request from several of our partner companies too. We're tending towards notifications or other nudges that we can automate and are trying to fine-tune this feature. One major problem is, of course, deciding the threshold because different places have different thresholds for tolerance (it's terrible to tune out during a work meeting but, maybe permissible in a hobby-learning or a K12 setting) and that's been a bit of a problem
@uttiya_roy sounds like you all are already on top of it! I couldn't agree more on tuning different thresholds depending on the circumstance. Tuning out during a work meeting is more edge case.
@cjries I think it's always interesting to manage the balance of calling people out for lack of focus/commitment to a meeting, but also respecting the introverts in the group. I like the opportunity that this brings of acknowledging someone's focus or participation, even if it's quiet, so you don't have to put your introverted students/business partners in uncomfortable situations.
I like the notification/nudge concept mentioned by @uttiya_roy though; definitely a cool product I'll keep an eye on over time!
