"The Presentria tool pushes polls and questions to the student’s device to encourage group discussion with innovative questioning techniques, which get more students involved in class participation. In addition, there are advanced features such as team competitions, speed challenges, peer review, peer feedback and experiential learning."

A journey to inclusive teaching and learning.
There are always students who are confused, shy, tired, and distracted. As educators who share a passion for inclusive teaching and learning, Professor Ken Wong and Professor Margaret Osborne are determined to find better ways to engage these students, no matter they are studying on-campus, online, or in the field. Through collaboration with Professor Paul Lam of CUHK and his Edvant team, these two Canadian professors intend to empower other educators and professionals around the world with the Presentria project.
