Students can do this anonymously or you can choose to identify them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Q and A boards are still underused a little here at AU, but there will be the option to tag questions and comments. Will be useful for those of you who are co-delivering a presentation and want to allocate specific questions to a presenter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Further information on new Vevox functionality can be found on their <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vevox.com\/blog\/vevox-product-update-march-2022\"><strong>update blogpost.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have regular contact with our Vevox account managers.
