Investing in technology that can be monitored and measured is the best way to ensure accountability among users.
For this reason, Vivi provides a metrics dashboard and reporting that enables administrators to review how often teachers and students are presenting to the screen, who the most active users are, which classrooms are seeing the most Vivi usage and how often specific Vivi features are being used.
These insights enable administrators to better understand how the system is being used, and to provide support and training to help all users get maximum benefit from the technology in their classroom.
