While there are many other resources one can use to back-channel in the classroom, I love Cover-it-Live because it can be embedded on any website, you can moderate content, and you can set up questions, polls, images, etc. for students to respond to ahead of time. All of these great features make Cover-it-Live far superior to other back channeling methods in my opinion.
Luckily, one of my teachers who has been using back-channeling effectively in her History in Film course discovered that Cover-it-Live has not abandoned those teachers who have been using this tool in the classroom. If you go to the bottom of the pricing page you will find a link to click on to request a free teacher account!!!
Thank you so much Cover-it-Live for continuing to support education professionals.
