ColabYard's Live Lectures now include a timeline view available directly during upload and editing, giving trainers a clear visual layout of their lecture from start to finish. This makes it easy to see exactly where in the session to place a Quiz, Activity, Discussion, or GreenBoard, turning session planning into a simple drag-and-drop process rather than guesswork. Combined with the seamless live delivery trainers already rely on, this update makes building an interactive session as easy as running one.

Interactive Lectures - Timeline view

ColabYard's Live Lectures bring together Quizzes, Activities, Discussions, GreenBoards, and more into one seamless live session, letting trainers move naturally between teaching, checking understanding, and collaborating without switching tools or breaking momentum. Students join instantly via QR code, staying engaged as the session flows from delivery into interactive moments in real time. This makes Live Lectures the connective layer of ColabYard turning a single session into a dynamic, multi-format learning experience rather than a series of disconnected activities.

Interactive Lectures

ColabYard's new Reflection task structures post-lecture reflection around Kolb's reflective cycle, guiding students through experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualisation, and active experimentation. Reflective questions are automatically generated by AI based on the specific lecture content, ensuring each prompt is directly relevant rather than generic. This turns reflection from an optional afterthought into a structured, guided process that helps students genuinely consolidate what they've learned and identify how they'll apply it going forward.

Interactive Lectures - Reflection

Teaching a live session today often means switching between five different tools, one for slides, another for quizzes, another for group work, another for the whiteboard, and hoping nothing breaks in the transition. ColabYard brings all of that into one platform, where lectures, quizzes, discussions, whiteboards, and applied activities work together seamlessly. Learners join instantly with a QR code, no account or download needed, while AI helps trainers generate content,always with the trainer approving before anything reaches students. This is ColabYard: everything you need to teach live, in one place.

ColabYard — Introduction

Colabyard Quizzes let trainers create and launch interactive quizzes that students join instantly, with answers and results updating live as the session runs. Trainers get real-time insight into performance, with results and motivational feedback shown to students who aren't at the top, keeping the experience encouraging rather than discouraging. Built into the same gamified LMS as GreenBoard and Discussions, Quizzes give trainers a fast, low-friction way to check understanding without breaking the flow of a session.

Quizzes

ColabYard can automatically generate quizzes from a PDF upload or directly from an existing interactive lecture, saving trainers from having to write questions from scratch. The AI reads the source content and produces relevant, ready-to-launch questions that reflect what students actually covered. This turns quiz creation from a time-consuming task into a fast, content-driven process, letting trainers spend more time teaching and less time preparing.

AI Generated Quizzes

Discussions is a real-time group discussion tool where trainers create up to four timed breakout groups, each joinable by its own QR code or link, with optional AI-generated Tutor Prompts that auto-fire during the session or can be triggered on-demand for groups that finish early. Students post sticky notes, react, comment, and see typing indicators live, while trainers moderate from an Observe view with post/word counts, AI-likelihood badges, and per-group engagement tracking. The session wraps up with a cross-group contribution leaderboard, a full-screen presentation mode for debriefs, and options to refresh or clear the board for reuse with a new cohort.
