Why Use Explain Everything?
Explain Everything inspires learning through group activities, tutorials, and interactive experiences. Faculty can create lessons with presentations that can use video, notation, audio, animations, and more to bring the lesson to life.
It also allows faculty and students to collaborate during lessons, share thoughts, and ideas in real-time, draw or write ideas on the board, and more. [More Information]

The Hub just recently acquired a few licenses for Explain Everything. We are using this on our iPad Pros with the Apple Pencil and a lav microphone and together, make an easy-to-use tool for lecture recording, lessons, demos, screencaptures and more. Come visit us in the Hub to inquire about borrowing some of these tools to try it out for yourself. I’m also happy to meet with you for some training on how to use the app.
