NameCoach

NameCoach is a new easy to use, accessible, tool we are implementing in Canvas. Its a simple way Canvas users can record the proper pronunciation of their name and share it with other in Canvas.

Why is a product like NameCoach important for PCC?

When people you interact with pronounce your name correctly, you feel more valued and included. This tool helps to create an online learning space where students feel connected, supported and understood. NameCoach is an equity minded tool that can help increase a student's sense of belonging. It also helps online instructors humanize their presence by having their voice literally "heard" by the student.
