Remind

Remind is a communication platform that helps faculty reach and engage with their students and build the relationships that lead to better learning.

As a course messaging tool, with Remind faculty can send students text messages, links to video conferences, images and files, or links to important discussions in their Blackboard Learn course(s). One of the many benefits of using Remind is that faculty and student individual cell phone numbers are kept private. For more benefits, check out 10 ways other instructors are using Remind.

With the enhanced version of Remind that Tri-C has faculty can:

• Have two-way text messaging between faculty and students without knowledge of personal phone numbers
• Include Auto-translations
• Share links, document attachments, and photos. You can attach any type of file under 10MB (PDF, .doc, .mp4, .gif, .png, .jpeg, etc) from web. Each voice clip can be up to 20 seconds. 
• Schedule messages ahead of time
• Create messages up to 600 text characters (an increase from the basic version)
• Have Voice Calls without having access to personal phone numbers
• Create student groups (up to 9 people) - students can text back and forth with faculty oversight
