TRAVIS GO

Principal function(s): Image and video editingQuiz/exercise makersIndividual workListeningTeacherStudentYou Supply

TRAVIS GO is a privacy-friendly tool used for annotating audio and video materials. Users import URLs of audio and video files to the platform and can then mark video sequences by frame, attach comments, set hashtags, add filters, and more. TRAVIS GO also supports collaborative working. It is completely free and does not require having an account for use. TRAVIS GO was developed by an international team based at the Seminar for Media Science (University of Basel) and is funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation (SNF). Evaluation: TRAVIS GO is a handy tool for creating digital lessons with audio and video materials. For teachers, it can help break down video content by adding explanations, together with helping gauge students’ knowledge by adding questions, and more. TRAVIS GO is not the only tool that has similar functionalities but is the most privacy-friendly one. Another great advantage of TRAVIS GO is that it allows simultaneous collaboration, being useful for teamwork.

Cost: Free.
