Bramble live online tuition platform marks million hours milestone with major innovations

@Bramble_io, the live online tuition platform, has marked a major milestone with the launch of two new features.

As usage of the platform sailed past a million hours Bramble has unveiled its Birds Eye View and Smart Subtopic functions.

Birds Eye View is designed to make small group tutoring on the platform more effective and engaging, allowing a tutor to work with up to four students at their own pace at the same time.

The feature also allows students to split up to work separately while the tutor has an overview of what each student is working on, making it easy for them to help students when needed.

“Birds Eye View adds an additional, flexible dynamic to tuition sessions that goes beyond the real-life experience of small group tutoring, where the tutor or teacher can ‘peer over the shoulder’ of individual students and offer support whenever they need it,” says Bramble co-founder Will Chambers (pictured). 

Smart Subtopic detection builds on Bramble’s Smart Subject detection technology, which uses AI to analyse audio recordings, whiteboard notes and resources from a learner’s live online tutoring session, and then automatically label and sort the content into precise subject, topic and now subtopic areas. “The feature amplifies the benefits of Bramble lesson recordings, providing even more accurate insights and further enhancing their value as a powerful revision resource,” Will Chambers adds.

User hours on the Bramble platform surged from 100,000 hours in April 2020 to more than 1 million today as tutors, tuition organisations and schools adopted the platform to support learning throughout the pandemic disruption.

The Bramble platform is also used by a number of tuition providers in the government’s National Tutoring Programme.

The Bramble live online teaching platform was launched by London-based Bramble Technologies in 2016. It is designed to take live online tutoring in one-to-one and small group settings to the next level by making the most of the opportunities presented by the transition to online delivery.
