Tagging
Pull students into the conversation by tagging them directly. Students and instructors have the ability to tag anybody in the class.
Notifications
Keep students on task and help them meet deadlines with notifications. Add a custom notification for the whole class or individual students.
Chat
Using Harmonize Chat, instructors and students can communicate in real time. It’s easy for students to see which classmates are online and begin a new chat.
Polls
Use polls to gauge understanding, assess students, or review content. You can even use a poll to take attendance. Run a poll on its own or add it to any discussion.
Reactions
Students can use emojis to respond to their classmates. Reactions lower the barrier to responding to peers and help more students contribute.
