Authentic Skills Development & Assessment

It's a great tool for soft skills assessment and development, like communication and interpersonal skills (e.g. empathy). We've also used it for demonstrating a skill or procedure like venipuncture. The implementation/customer service team is very prompt with returning emails and answering/resolving any questions/issues.

Functionality

Pros:

The use of video which makes things more engaging and authentic. The integration options - we use it in two different LMSs. The AI feedback mechanism, which provides instant FB to learners and helps relieve facilitators' time. The assessment options - you can do a star rating, rubric, percentage, auto-submit, and more. Ability to use the "practice" mode versus the "assessment" mode, where you can provide unlimited attempts versus a single hotseat attempt.

Cons:

The inability to do self-assessment only using a rubric; when using a rubric, the instructor also has to grade to mark it "complete". The processing time of the videos; it seems slower than other video platforms I've used.

Reasons for switching to Bongo

Mainly because Bongo integrated better with both Canvas and Brightspace - our two LMSs.

Vendor Response

Thanks for the review, Denise! That's great feedback and we will be sure to let our development team know.

Ease of use

Customer support

Functionality

Pros:

- great tool for students to record their speaking abilities in second languages - great tool to provide time stamped feedback (my favorite feature) - great tool for quizzes within a video recording (students watch a video and answer some questions throughout the video) - quick customer service respond - students pay just once for use, regardless of how many semesters they use it

Cons:

- can be a little tricky to set up each semester (not always instinctive) - grading is not flexible if we want an assignment on a specific scale (it is automatically out of 100)

Reasons for switching to Bongo

Go React was too expensive to maintain as each new semester a student would use it, they would be charged.

Vendor Response

Thank you Frederique! We will for sure consider your feedback about grading so we can make it more flexible for you in the future.

Pros:

Once I got used to using Bongo, it was relatively easy way to use. I thought the functionality to break up your participants into break out rooms. It is also very accessible via mobile.

Cons:

I don’t have any really big cons to mention. It took a bit to get used to the platform as I was very used to using Google Meet and GoTo Meeting. Once I have it some time, it became quite simple to use.

Thanks for your feedback, Robin!

Functionality

Pros:

The Bongo Video Assignment tool is a unique platform that has revolutionized the way students and instructors engage with video-based assignments. It is user-friendly and accessible, allowing students to upload and submit video assignments, view peer reviews, and receive instructor feedback. The tool supports experiential learning by enabling students to participate in assignments that involve video or audio recordings, helping them to develop soft skills such as communication, collaboration, and critical thinking. At McGill, Bongo is utilized in numerous language courses, providing a unique way for instructors and students to interact and converse during assessments. With four different types of video assignments available, the tool caters to various learning styles and objectives, ensuring that every student can find a format that suits their strengths and educational needs. It facilitates one-on-one interactions between students and instructors, as well as promotes peer-to-peer learning and collaborative projects within the classroom.

Cons:

I have an idea for a new assignment type that would enable students to submit video assignments and receive in-line comments from their peers. While I am aware of the peer assessment feature, I would like a different feature that would allow students to see and review everyone's work at a glance, rather than having assignments randomized through anonymous peer assessment. In-line comments would also be very helpful. Additionally, it would be great to have a feature that lets instructors preview assignments from the student's perspective.

Vendor Response

Thanks for your review Jasmine! Great idea for a new workflow and additional feature requests - we will definitely consider them for the future!

Pros:

Cons:

I wish we could set a number of tries for the Q&A assessments. I like that the camera turns on so students have to spontaneously response, with no preparation, but they sometime mess up so it would be great to have two tries for example.

Thanks for the awesome review, Julia!

Pros:

My favorite feature of Bongo is the recording of responses feature. We are able to design training and assessments that utilize this feature over our widespread footprint. This allows our SME's to review submitted answers without traveling all over the country.

Cons:

At this point in time I do not have any negative experiences with Bongo. If anything a con would be that we are unable to apply it more to our training plans.

Vendor Response

Thank you Mathew! We love that its a time saver for you and doesn't require as many people to travel. Hope you can implement it into more of your training in the near future!
