Overall Satisfaction with Whova
Whova was the app that was used for the 2024 COABE Conference which is the National Adult Education Conference. This app had the schedule and the class descriptions available to review and choose so that you were ready to attend the class on time. The Whova app was also used as a central location to pass along any information to attendees. It gave a board for people to communicate with each other. It had other features so that you could create polls (and have some fun).
- Notifies you of messages
- Keeps you organized
- Allows you to interact with others in a safe manner
- I would like to be able to hide or reorder the community boards so that I can keep what I am interested in on top.
- I would like to see it not allow the same topic be created on the community board but rather notify you that a board has already been created and ask you if you would like to join that conversation.
- I would like to be able to color code the agenda so that I can mark the classes I'm interested in, but won't have time to attend (but and go back to if they are virtual later). Then when I am at the conference, I can see the class I am supposed to go to, and not have to keep reviewing the agenda at a later time.
- I would like to have had a quick how to guide on how to use the Whova app. Actually, I just found it. I think it should be on the home page as a thumbnail so its in your face for those that didn't venture around the app.
- I would like to be able to mass download all the documents at the end of the conference.
- 3000 people were in attendance and 500 were virtual only so I would say it was a positive way to keep everyone together.
- The virtual classes will be available to attendees for a year so that is great for those who could not attend everything they were interested in.
