Developed by a team organized at Baruch College, Vocat is a full-featured platform for professors and students to share and interact with video, audio, and images.
Ideal Use: Creating a collaborative, private space for a group to upload and interact with media and each other.
Pros:
Cons:
Users have different roles (student, evaluator, etc.) and can manage their courses and permitted management options within their role.
A user-friendly uploading interface allows the ingestion of photos, audio, and video for use within different courses and projects, organized by the user uploading the file.
Similar to other platforms, annotations can be made alongside the media (time-stamped for video) and attributed to different users. Vocat offers another level of functionality with highlighting and drawing capability.
There are many ways to grade and track students across different skills.
The grading interface allows an evaluator to sort and observe student performance at a glance.
