MARK BEILBY A FREEMAN AND CO FOUNDER AND CHAIRMAN OF VEVOX, A LEADING EDUCATIONAL TECHNOLOGY COMPANY TELLS OF THEIR EXPANSION IN THE US

Vevox   https://www.vevox.com stands for "Value Every Voice". It is downloadable onto any smartphone or accessible via the web. Vevox is a simple, intuitive platform with the potential to transform virtual and remote meetings, Microsoft Team or Zoom sessions, and in the room lectures into compelling interactive events. It enables lecturers and training managers to create live polls in seconds, the audience to vote immediately and then watch the results arrive in real-time. This means lecturers, trainers and teachers can test students’ understanding.

Respondents can answer anonymously to enable inclusive involvement and accurate insight into understanding and views. Question and answer sessions can also be pushed out to the floor and audiences can share ideas, add ‘likes’ and give feedback – all overseen by the presenter or a moderator, whether "in the room" or remote, who can manage the proceedings. It gives the voiceless a voice. It informs decision making with genuine, honest opinion.

Vevox is deployed for internal communication by large corporations such as GSK, Barclays and Nestle and by lecturers, by means of an enterprise-wide sale, in 40% of UK and Ireland universities and colleges. It is currently gaining considerable commercial traction amongst US universities and colleges. A Vevox US operation was established in early 2024.
