The “Beep” Heard Around the World
Enhancing Drill Instructor Awareness
Release Date: August 16, 2024 — Version: Teach App v6.2.6
At Beepboop, we're committed to improving the learning experience. That’s why we’ve introduced a beep notification that alerts Drill Instructors whenever the first student joins a class.
Why We Implemented It:
Since our Drills run nearly continuously throughout the day, with Drill Instructors often multitasking—doing other non-teaching Beepboop work in another browser tab while waiting for students—it’s crucial that they know the moment a student arrives. This feature ensures that no student goes unnoticed or feels ignored.
How It Works:
The beep only sounds when the number of students in the class goes from zero to one, alerting the Drill Instructor that someone has joined. If a second student joins, it won’t beep again. However, if all students leave during a class—a common occurrence as some prefer shorter interactions—and then another student joins, the beep will sound again.
Better Experience for Students:
This feature helps teachers promptly acknowledge students, reducing any anxiety about speaking up and ensuring they feel supported from the moment they join the class.
In the video above, watch our Board Chairperson and AI Engineer, Devon Saliga, demo the new “Beep” feature.
