About this app

Visible Classroom is an app that empowers teachers to improve their teaching by providing talk time and talk speed metrics to see their impact in the classroom.

Reducing teacher talk time is critical for presenting students with opportunities for deep learning, while talk speed impacts the amount of information a student can process. Until now, direct teaching metrics have not been available to teachers. With Visible Classroom, teachers can easily reflect on their teaching practice and track progress over time.

Using the Visible Classroom app, you can record your lessons and request to have them professionally transcribed to unlock analytics and personalized feedback reports from teaching experts at the University of Melbourne who review your lesson content. You’ll receive real insights into your teaching style and be provided with recommended teaching strategies to improve the outcome for your learners.

KEY FEATURES
• Simple one-step process for recording and uploading your lessons for analysis
• Receive important metrics on your talk time and talk speed in simple, clear charts
• View video tips from Professor John Hattie tailored to your individual results
• Gain further insights through lesson transcripts and personalized feedback reports

ABOUT VISIBLE CLASSROOM
Visible Classroom draws on the principles of Visible Learning established by Professor John Hattie. In Visible Learning, Hattie notes that teaching and learning is too often hidden and characterized by high levels of teacher talk with little reflection on the impact of teaching on students. The focus of the Visible Classroom program is the notion of embedded evaluation within the technology, to encourage teachers to critically assess what they have done and what their students have learned.
