Eddi: Your personal interactive teaching assistant for engaging webinars

Eddi is more than just an assistant—it’s your personal coach for creating lively and interactive online training sessions. As a digital didactic assistant, Eddi supports you in real-time to optimally engage your participants, reinforce learning content, and sustainably increase learning success.

During your webinar, Eddi proactively provides you with suggestions and practical tips to capture attention and optimize the learning process. You can follow these suggestions directly or take the initiative yourself at any time.

Accessing the Eddi Game Selection

To access all interactive features, simply click on the “Assistant” icon in the bottom right of the toolbar (next to “Settings”). The Eddi menu will open with the game selection.

Here, you can choose the category that best fits the current stage of your webinar:

  • Activation: For starting a session or as an icebreaker.
  • Repetition: For reinforcing learning content.
  • Conclusion: For summarizing and wrapping up successfully.
  • Break: For a structured intermission.

The Interactive Games in Detail

The Word Carousel is ideal for sparking creativity and introducing participants to a new topic. Each participant gets to spin the wheel and receives random terms or sentence fragments to form a topic-related sentence.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Select the “Activation” category and then “Word Carousel”.
  2. Set a topic for the game.
  3. Let Eddi’s intelligence do the work! Click on “Generate answers automatically” (the button to the right of the input field), and Eddi will automatically generate relevant terms for your topic. Of course, you can edit the suggestions or add your own terms.
  4. Start the game.

Tip: Save and reuse anytime! You can easily save a Word Carousel you’ve created or one generated by the AI. It will be stored in the materials folder, allowing any moderator to access and launch it directly in future webinars. This saves valuable preparation time! To do this, check the box for “Save as material” in the bottom right.

Repetition: The Image Mosaic

With the Image Mosaic, you can reinforce learning content in a visual and playful way. Participants roll a die and receive images, which they use to form a sentence or a story related to the previously discussed topic.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Select the “Repetition” category and then “Image Mosaic”.
  2. Set the topic and the number of dice (and thus the number of images).
  3. Start the game and let the participants roll the dice.

Conclusion: Step-by-Step

This method is perfect for concluding a topic or collectively recapping a procedure. Participants take turns completing a sentence or the steps of a guide.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Select the “Conclusion” category and then “Step-by-Step”.
  2. Choose the participants and provide the topic or the incomplete sentence.
  3. Start the round. Participants will be called upon one after another.

Taking a Break

Ensure a planned moment of rest. With Eddi, you can start a break timer that is visible to everyone.

Here’s how it works:

  1. Select the “Break” category.
  2. Choose one of the suggested durations or enter a custom length for the break.
  3. Start the timer.
