How to Comment on Uvii's Mobile App

Updated: Aug 25, 2021


Comments are broken down into three categories: Text, Video, and Audio. After an instructor creates a post via the asking a question feature, creates a video, uploads a photo, or uploads a document to the home feed, a student can respond to the posted content through any of the three means detailed above or by how the instructor specified he/she wants a student to respond.


Uses for Commenting Via Text


There are several ways to incorporate "Commenting Via Text" into your course (and we have sample ideas below to help you begin!)


Synchronous Course: Uploading is an easy way for instructors to collect and grade assignments during online instruction. For example, an instructor can make students type a text response to a prompt in the home feed as an in-course assignment and submit it to the attached feed, which can be graded later by that instructor.


Asynchronous Course: If your course is not live, having students submit their assignments is crucial to keep track of their grades and comprehension of the material. As an instructor, you can set a date and time to have an assignment due by telling students to upload their answers via text to a specific question on the home feed for further grading. You will be able to see the time and date a student uploads their work, allowing for easy tracking of when assignments have been submitted


Post Course: After a student submits a response to a question or assignment the instructor posted in a thread on the course home feed, an instructor can reply to each individual comment giving the student feedback on their response.

Uses for Commenting Via Video


There are several ways to incorporate "Commenting Via Video" into your course (and we have sample ideas below to help you begin!)


Synchronous Course: During course, video interaction is a great way to initiate participation allowing all students to have a say on a particular question or topic at hand. In the middle of course, an instructor can pose a question to their students and tell them to record a 20-second video of themselves responding to a particular prompt/feed. After all students have submitted their video responses, the instructor can select certain videos and play them to the course-leading to further discussion about different answers.


Asynchronous Course: One of the lagging features in asynchronous courses is the lack of personalization. Video is a great way to make the course feel more surreal when in reality the course is pre-recorded and can be done at the student’s discretion. As an instructor, assigning students to send a video of themselves giving background information and putting a face to a name will allow the asynchronous instructor to feel more connected with the “course” they are teaching.


Post Course: Video is a good way to reflect and see what students took away from each course. As an instructor, assigning students to upload a video of themselves explaining what they took away from the previous course increases engagement levels outside the classroom and forces students to think analytically about what they learned in course increasing retention of information.


Steps for Commenting Via Video


Follow these steps below to comment on a post via video:

Uses for Commenting Via Audio


There are several ways to incorporate "Commenting Via Audio" into your course (and we have sample ideas below to help you begin!)


Synchronous Course: In a language course, post a question for students to respond to and have them submit their responses using the audio commenting feature on the Uvii interface. Once all students have submitted their responses, as the instructor, you can play students answers for the course to listen to and discuss each answer as well


Asynchronous Course: In a music course that is asynchronous, have students record themselves signing based on the type of style and keys the instructor taught through the pre-recorded records in that given week. Instructors can then listen to all the voices of the course along with the students to better sense the voices that are a part of the course.


Post Course: As a way to help students retain the content they learned from the prior week, have students record an audio comment to a reflection post in the home feed having them freely speak about this week of courses on what they liked, what they didn’t like, and what could be improved for the upcoming week. As the instructor, you can easily listen to each audio comment in the audio comment section taking feedback on what is working in course and any potential changes you may make.


Steps for Commenting Via Audio


Follow these steps below to comment on a post via text:



Video: Comment via Video and Audio

After tapping the “>”, Uvii will ask you if you want to “post” or “re-record” and select the appropriate choice


If there are multiple questions or parts posted within one thread, be sure to create an audio response for each part

Hello, I am also blogging on this site, but I have a problem. I can't upload a video to the article because the video format is not satisfactory. I searched the internet for information on this, but only found video conversion software. It talks about several of them, but I don't know which one to choose. If you also faced this problem, please give your advice on choosing a converter.
