As of today, across the district, students have access to a new tutoring and e-learning platform developed by Brainfuse called TutorMatch. TutorMatch allows students to schedule their own tutoring appointments through Canvas. Tutors and students can communicate via a chat function or with audio. The program enables tutors and students to exchange files and share their screen while they work.
Students will simply need to enter a class in Canvas, scroll down and click on the blue tutoring link on the bottom left of the screen. Students can choose the time and subject when scheduling a tutoring session. Then, when it is time for the session, they will go back into Brainfuse the same way, hover over their username in the top right corner, and under the dropdown menu choose My Calendar to enter the tutoring session. For further assistance with accessing tutoring sessions on TutorMatch, this brief video tutorial walks through how to access the platform: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9ejPKEi540.
Along with TutorMatch students will have access to several other learning tools through the Brainfuse platform, such as SkillSurfer, a comprehensive library of captioned video lessons and practice tests prepared by the Brainfuse Academic Team in a variety of core academic skills, and Flashbulb, a versatile, comprehensive learning tool that features an extensive library of flashcards and easy tools for students to create their own flashcards and games.
Brainfuse also has two unique collaborative tools: MEET and Brainwave. With MEET, students use an online classroom as a personal virtual study session to work together with peers. Students use Brainwave to record their activity on the Brainfuse whiteboard for later playback. Brainwave is an ideal note-taking tool for recording solutions to math or science problems, class projects, or any other concept involving motion, sequence, or animation. For more information about Brainwave and the many tools the platform offers, visit www.brainfuse.com.
The implementation of this platform and all of its tools is part of Wabash Valley College’s ongoing mission to deliver exceptional education and services to improve the lives of our students and to strengthen our communities. The employment of the Brainfuse platform is one way WVC is reaching out to empower students during these uncertain times.
