Hello, teachers! New year, new feature improvements to Lumio to share!
In this blog, we’ll take a closer look at the latest updates designed to make teaching and learning even more engaging, inclusive and easier! Whether you’re a seasoned user or just starting to explore Lumio, there’s something here for everyone.
Let’s get started!
YouTube feature update
Embedding YouTube videos directly into Lumio lessons has never been easier. The updated YouTube integration supports teachers to use links to embed videos into their lessons and assignments. Yes, even private videos! Ensuring a distraction-free viewing experience and providing a safe and streamlined way to incorporate video content into your teaching.
Export student data with Activity Dashboard
We’ve listened to your feedback! You can now export student results from Super Sort, Rank Order, and Match ‘Em Up! to a CSV file. This feature simplifies data tracking and sharing, while helping you analyze performance and check in on student understanding.
Advanced Locking
Take control of your lessons with Lumio’s advanced locking tools. These tools allow teachers to set boundaries on how objects can be moved, rotated, or resized within activities. By guiding students with clear parameters, you can reduce distractions and support skill-building in spatial reasoning and problem-solving. Making lessons more effective and accessible for all learners.
