Hi, everyone!
We hope you had a tremendous week! With session volume continuing to decrease due to schools closing for the summer, we thank you so much for using your shift time to complete the How to Engage Young Learners training! We hope that it provided an opportunity to think about the importance of altering vocabulary and solution strategies based on the age of the student that you are working with. We will provide additional training throughout the summer months. As always, thank you for all that you do to empower our students to learn!
Speech to Text on the Student App
There have been many updates to the tutor experience over the last few weeks. One change that students have requested has been deployed! Students can now speak into their microphone (on their mobile device or computer/laptop) and the speech will be converted to text. This will help students who are not confident or fast typers. The speech-to-text feature is quite robust but there may still be some occurrences where the translation is not perfect so keep that in mind when reading student messages. Thank you to the engineers for your work in developing and deploying this feature!
