Has anyone hosted live events with their students (i.e trivia quizzes for socialisation purposes)?

I'm exploring the idea of hosting live events on our Virtual Learning Environment (VLE) to enhance social interaction and engagement rather than focusing solely on assessing course content knowledge. I’m curious if others have experience with this or are implementing something similar. What platform or video conferencing software do you use? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hi @Emily.O.2225,

Thanks for reaching out to Brightspace Community — what a great question!

We'd recommend trying the https://community.d2l.com/brightspace/kb/articles/17047-virtual-classroom for live sessions. It integrates with Brightspace and allows for real-time interaction, use of whiteboards, and breakout rooms. Here's a quick overview video of the feature: https://youtu.be/mvuhQoGU3_o?si=9G826SZMNiKd7scp

We'd also love to hear from other instructors in the Community! Feel free to jump in and share your ideas an experiences 😊
