Improveo is indispensable if your live interaction with students is limited, but it will bring great value also if you meet your students regularly.
Without Improveo you:
have to collect & correct home assignments on your own. Improveo lets your students post online (answers to your questions, their questions or their favorite excerpts from the reading list) in order to interact, learn from one other and correct one another. Outside class, but it can be helpful even in the classroom.
can write down conclusions of group debates, but if your students write them into Improveo, the knowledge won't be forgotten in old dusty notepads. The information will remain accessible to your students during their studies, for exam preparation and even after they graduate.
and your group will stay on your own. On Improveo, your students' work can be exposed to the general public (as practical textbooks) or be debated online with students at other universities worldwide. Improveo brings new acquaintances, opportunities, expert reputation, and excitement: the things we need, especially when we're about to start our careers.
can't significantly help your university. Everything your students do on Improveo will promote not only them and you as an education leader, but also your university. Improveo should attract new brainy students and perhaps even funding.
Last but not least, Improveo is an alternative to costly conferences and exchange programs. Test new cooperations quickly and for free. If you are happy, develop cooperation afterwards offline.
Improveo doesn't replace live interaction. Improveo makes live interaction more effective and interesting.
