Beekast Pros and Cons

J'apprécie la facilité d'utilisation avec un système proche du PowerPoint et une liste d'activité assez riche.

Aussi, l'intégration du QRCode permet aux participants de se connecter facilement.

Enfin, le site Beekast Inspiration avec des modèles prêts à l'emploi est souvent mon meilleur ami dans la conception d'une session de formation à distance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Je trouve que l'intégration du PowerPoint dans la session Beekast n'est pas encore optimal, car elle prend un peu de temps et l'Organizer ne permet pas de déplacer les diapositives entre les activités Beekast facilement.

Aussi, le nom des activités n'est pas clair, surtout "Sondage" et "QCM" qui me permettent de mettre qu'une affirmation à la fois, à la différence de "Formulaire" et "Challenge". Cela est la principale source de confusion chez nos intervenants.

Enfin, les CR ne sont pas délivrés rapidement et demandent beaucoup de manipulations : c'est envoyé sur l'adresse mail, puis Beekast, puis télécharger. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Possible integration into Zoom Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The inability, when using a quiz, to indicate just the score without showing what the correct answers are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that I can use this tool to assign at-home assignments students can complete on their own. With Beekast, I can check up on student progress and track their level of engagement throughout the session. I really enjoy getting student feedback in real-time thanks to the rating activity and some of the templates offered by Beekast: so efficient and user-friendly!

I wish there was more built-in academic content for various subjects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have access to it via my academic institution

It does some simple jobs Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I cannot embed the beekast into my powerpoint deck, so I have to switch from ppt to beekast

I cannot customize the size of columns (in board) or the size of font, resulting in mediocre readability on the projection screen in the classroom.

As a matter of fact, I don't understand how to report my role in the question below. I am a teacher, I create beekasts for my students. So am I a user or an administrator? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

la facilité d'appréhender l'outil

L'outil suit l'assiduité des étudiants, le nombre de fois où ils répondent et de quelle manière

c'est facile en tant que formateur de bouger nos présentations même en plein cours (intervertir un slide avec une activité ou autre)

on peut y intégrer du scorm (genialy) sans que nos participant aient la sensation de changer d'appli Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

le tableau blanc qui est moins évident et moins fun que certains concurrents Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main advantage of Beekast is that it brings together in one place all the features one might need (presentation, chat, file sharing, interactive activities, ...). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Hyperlinks are no longer clickable when exporting to PDF.

The inability to play sound.

Challenge-type activities lack fun (Kahoot style).

Importing PWP or PDF slides removes HTML links, hence the need to create Beekast slides. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Interactivity and fun when having meeting with colleagues worldwide. It is easy to configurate and to import into Teams meeting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Report downloaded after could be much better. And sometimes, answers do not appear online when presenting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

tools that allow online interaction Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

often we want to find more game models Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As someone that works with multiple teams, I needed a versatile tool that could help me train employees, host meetings and track projects. With Beekast, I can do all of this. It’s super easy to use and is integrated with Microsoft Teams, Google Drive and Zoom, which is handy. If you’re looking for an “all-in-one” kind of solution, I highly suggest you try Beekast.

Some advanced features come with a bit of a learning curve. I usually stick to the basics but it would be nice to have some tutorials in order to use more advanced features in the tool. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like to use Beekast to gather feedback during meetings. There are many survey-type activities (standard survey, ranking survey, pin on image survey…) that are easy to set up. I particularly like the anonymous mode, which helps boost participation since people usually feel more comfortable sharing their true thoughts when they’re anonymous.

I’ve only been using Beekast for a short amount of time but it’s quickly become a habit during my meetings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Right now, the solution seems to lack survey templates. I wish there were some ready-made surveys and polls I could use to save time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
