FluentKey Live has many advanced features for our Pro users. Let’s first talk about “Add 15 Seconds” and “Finish Questions Early”. By default, all questions last 30 seconds during Live, so what if all of your students haven’t been able to answer the question in that time? With FluentKey Pro, you can increase the time in 15 second increments to allow all students to answer a question. Did you add too much time, or did all your students answer the question within a few seconds? No problem! By clicking “Finish Question Early”, you don’t have to waste any of your precious class time waiting for the timer to run down.
These features can be incredibly useful, especially when you want your students to practice writing a response to something they’ve heard in the video. When you get to the short answer question, you can increase the time as much as you want, and once all students have answered, you can end that question.
FluentKey Live has more advanced features too! Want students to have the video on their own devices? What about audio? As a Pro user, you can control whether or not all students watch the videos on their individual devices or together on a projector. These advanced features are perfect if you want your students to in teams to answer the questions!
Finally, you can require your students to log in to play FluentKey Live. With the Pro version, you have access to advanced student tracking, so requiring your students to log in to their profile will help you keep track of how your students are doing as a class and also individually.
