Vdvoyom

(вдвоём in Russian means "together in pairs")

Overview

Vdvyom is Meteor app for language teachers to play interactive games online with students. It is principally designed to be used on a smartphone, but it will work in any browser. It does not provide any video or audio chat features; you can use a social media app at the same time.

First-time visitors will be asked to:

  1. Choose their native language
  2. Enter a username
  3. Choose a language teacher, or a language to learn on their own
  4. Choose an activity.

No registration or password is currently required.

Activities

Currently, Vdvoyom provides a single drag-and-drop vocabulary game, which can be played in 3 different languages.

Working with a teacher

If you select a teacher, your teacher will be able to see your interactions, and to manipulate the activities on your screen.

Menu

A slide-out menu allows you to change activity, language, teacher or username.

Road Map

Waiting Room

In future versions, your teacher will receive a request to join the group. While you are waiting for the teacher to accept your request, you will join a Waiting Room group, where you can chat and form pairs with other students who are waiting.

Community Room

In future versions, students will also be able to join a Community group with other people who are learning the same language without a teacher. The features will be the same as those in the Waiting Room.

Chat

In future versions, you will be able to chat with your teacher, with other students in your group (class or Waiting Room) both publicly and privately.

Additional Activities

Future versions will include other activities, such as:

Fill-in-the-gap exercises

Conversation games
