See and hear
better learning and performance

I think WeVu is a really good device, especially for learning conducting. I am glad my professor decided to use this system. THANK YOU very much for designing and bringing this interface to university learning!

WeVu has made quality online violin “lessons” possible. My students upload videos to WeVu. I then leave WeVu comments. After the student has had time to look over the comments, we meet up via Zoom for 10 - 30 minutes to discuss whatever couldn’t be addressed by my WeVu comments. I was thrilled that WeVu solved the Zoom problems of terrible tone quality, a constantly-freezing stream, and sound that doesn’t align with the motion. However, my students and I have quickly discovered other advantages: having to make recordings has proven to be motivational for practice and being able to see and hear exactly what I’m talking about has helped students understand what they need to change.

I heartily recommend WeVu for people teaching online music lessons.

I actually just did the WeVu set up and think I have created the assignment myself. This program is really slick!

We enjoyed very much using WeVu last semester, in particular with the Conducting class. It was an ideal format for making comments on student-submitted videos, and we took advantage of that all the way through the semester. I also used my Wind Ensemble & Concert Band sites in WeVu on a couple of video projects and results there were also positive.

In just five minutes, I can create an original assignment that provides students with an hour’s worth of meaningful and collaborative engagement.

Five clicks, and I have turned a YouTube video into a meaningful exercise for my classroom of language learners.

I really enjoy commenting on the videos, I watch them in 1.5 time so it’s quite fast. The students are truly appreciating the process now, there is much less stress, and more time for reflection… Overall we love it! just working out our own kinks with new technology and then updating our course outlines to match the new process.

This really helped my game, and my confidence. Sometimes I think my 'real' coach doesn't understand me. My WeVu coach gave me three important things to work on and it really paid off.

At UBC-O School of Nursing, we used the system to record, share and annotate our mental health simulations amongst students and staff, and immediately recognized that this system was superior to any existing simulation recording software!

I was very impressed with the student discussion on the video. Many students told me they enjoyed that component of the course. I think that part of it was that the videos were pretty fun, but part of it was that even the shy students who have a hard time speaking in a class of 60 could contribute there.

WeVu has been a remarkable asset in my conducting classroom! The students are able to dive in deeply to assess every detail of their conducting technique and comment on it in a very specific way. As their teacher, the ability to ask direct questions and give specific feedback is invaluable!

I think the program is great and would like to give it another go.

I have successfully used WeVu in several undergraduate courses, both to promote student engagement in reviewing each other’s in-class presentations, and to provide my own feedback to students on those same presentations. Using WeVu noticeably increased not only the quantity but also the quality of commentary students gave and received, and enabled me to give more precise feedback tailored to specific moments in the presentation. I warmly recommend it.

This is a fantastic way for students to review their own playing and for professors to give highly specific feedback.

I see video as a key strategy for motivating students and helping them to be exposed to both great performances and feedback on their own playing.

It is a great tool, especially in situations when there is no time for talk.

I am really satisfied with WeVu and my students love it. It offers a lot of possibilities in the classroom. I would love to use it again next academic year.

Future teachers are asked to give mini lessons. Usually you have your peers comment during the class but you can learn much more if you have a video of what you have done. You can learn even more if you and your peers can comment on the video.

'They were happier; I was happier.' I used WeVu with a guitar class. Two tests were on WeVu.
A great deal of class time was saved for instruction instead of summative assessment.
Some students tend not to perform well in front of others. Allowing uploads removed the nervousness factor.
Students can record many takes and submit their best performances through WeVu. So I can set higher standards for their performances.
It is much easier to give detailed feedback through WeVu than during an in-class session.

I allowed students to submit videos well before deadlines. I was able to assess and give feedback on their submissions within a day, allowing them to re-record, re-submit before the deadline and obtain higher grades. They were happier; I was happier.

A great tool because it allows both recording of student speech and precise feedback through the annotation tool.

This allowed me to create a presentation that I did not have to present in front of an entire class. I could record it at home, which meant I did not have to find childcare for my son, which I would have if we had presented in office hours. I still got the practice and feedback from my prof.

I’ve always tried to use presentations in my graduate seminars as a way to develop teaching and research presentation skills. WeVu allows me to more actively mentor graduate students in their presentation and teaching skills with detailed notes and questions, leaving valuable seminar time for discussion and analysis of bigger questions.
