Peaqs is a system made for higher learning that allows teachers and faculty to create blended or hybrid learning experiences for their students. Peaqs is highly customizable and built to secure high levels of student engagement via elements of gamification, peer feedback and learning progress transparency.
Peaqs is highly customizable where you can upload learning resources, choose engagement interactions as comments or stock market, customize headlines, set time boxes and inviting participants.
You can invite participants to act as Entrepreneurs and/or Investors. Entrepreneurs develop a project and upload text, images and videos to make the project look its very best. Investors trade on a virtual stock market. Participants can act as a combination of Entrepreneur and Investor at the same time. Teachers/academic instructors usually engage as Admin to setup a session and students usually engage as Entrepreneurs and Investors.
Entrepreneurs – to develop a project in groups or individually through a 4 staged process. They upload text, images, videos and other rich media to make the project look it’s very best.
Investor – invest or divest virtual credits in other projects on the virtual marketplace as individual.
Entrepreneur and Investor – develop a project and trade on the virtual stock market at the same time.
