The help should be accessible from any page, not just tucked under a dropdown menu on a few screens.
Help – the materials are all but hidden.Pricing – options need to be transparent (you have to dig to find them) and there should be a free account in the “Schools” section.If students are in different places while collaborating, though, they will want to communicate through the chat box to avoid stepping on each other’s toes. I tried this successfully, using separate accounts and different browsers, and I like the way it works. Teammates can edit different panels at one time, but will not see another person’s changes until they save. One person at a time can edit an individual panel others see a “lock” icon. Shared comics appear under “My Comics / In Progress.” Click to edit one, and accept the offer to “Join this Team.” Under a comic’s title, click “Make this a Team Comic.” Under the Teammates tab in the window that appears, start typing a screen name and choose from the drop-down list. Pixton is beta-testing a feature called Team Comics. After they complete and submit, you are able to see their work under “Student Gallery.” Collaboration When students log in, they see the assignment you posted. Add students - have them create accounts using the activation code Pixton provides.Post an assignment - make a new one or modify something another instructor shared.The educational pricing is reasonable, too - around $1 per student for two months’ access. To begin with, you can upload images, increase text size in a bubble, and print or download finished comics. Pixton does a great job of providing useful features with free “Fun” accounts, but a “Schools” account unlocks advanced possibilities. The more I use this tool, the more I like it! I was asked to provide a tutorial for language instructors and decided to dig deeper into Pixton. I have written about the comic-creation tool Pixton a few times, but had not tried their educational account setup until this week.
