Engageli

What is Engageli?

Engageli is similar to Teams or Zoom, but has been developed specifically for virtual learning. Below are some of its features:

• Full integration with Aula, supporting advanced use cases including combining cohorts for team teaching.
• Tables that can be leveraged for innovative pedagogical models for teaching and learning, unlike a video conferencing system
• Two audio modes (Room Mode and Table Mode). In Room Mode everyone can hear everybody else. In Table Mode, learners can still see and hear their instructor, but otherwise can only see and communicate with others on their own table.
• Attendance and engagement metrics tracking to analyse learner participation.
• Collaboration tools in the virtual classroom such as whiteboards, polls, and quizzes for active learning
• Interactive recordings where learners can engage with the collaboration tools in the playback room

How do I get access to Engageli?

To get access to Engageli, you need to create an Engageli classroom using the Aula integration (see the next section), or be an Educator in a Aula space that has an Engageli classroom.

How do I create an Engageli classroom?

Creating your Engageli classroom

To create the Engageli classroom for your module, one member of the teaching team should follow these steps: 

1) Unhide the “Engageli guidance” section on your Aula space

New modules should now have a section on Aula which is hidden called “Engageli guidance”. If this is on your module space you simply need to unhide it.


If it is not there, go through the below steps.
A) Go to this link
B) Open the folder that applies to you
C) Download (click the three dots to the right of the filename and then ‘Download’ from the pop up menu) the .JSON file
D) Save this somewhere it will be easy to find, like your desktop.
E) Import the .JSON file into your Aula space.
Here is a video detailing the above steps

2) Create the Engageli classroom

Important: Please avoid copying the URL of the Engageli button from Aula, as it won’t function properly. The student or staff member needs to click directly on the Engageli button to enter the classroom.
