## Reviews

### "Authentic Skills Development & Assessment" — 5.0/5

> **Denice** | *20 May 2024* | Education Management | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10
> 
> **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.
> 
> 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.

### "Bongo for languages" — 4.0/5

> **Frederique** | *15 May 2024* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 8.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: - great tool for students to record their speaking abilities in second languages&#10;- great tool to provide time stamped feedback (my favorite feature)&#10;- great tool for quizzes within a video recording (students watch a video and answer some questions throughout the video)&#10;- quick customer service respond&#10;- 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)&#10;- grading is not flexible if we want an assignment on a specific scale (it is automatically out of 100)

### "Great software for video calls or e-learning." — 4.0/5

> **Robin** | *13 February 2022* | E-Learning | Recommendation rating: 7.0/10
> 
> **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.

### "Bongo Positively Impacts Learning and Assessment in Higher Education" — 5.0/5

> **Jasmine** | *16 May 2024* | Higher Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **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.&#10;&#10;Additionally, it would be great to have a feature that lets instructors preview assignments from the student's perspective.

### "Essential tool for language classes" — 5.0/5

> **Julia** | *15 May 2024* | Primary/Secondary Education | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: \*time-stamped comments&#10;\*ability to create rubric for assessing&#10;\*different types of assessments available&#10;\*synchronized with LMS&#10;\*possibility to copy past assignments from one semester to the next
> 
> **Cons**: I wish we could set a number of tries for the Q\&amp;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.
