Brisk Next - BIG Updates!

Recently, Brisk added a few new features. You can follow all of the newly released updates on the What's New page. This article discusses some updates to the Brisk Button and to Brisk Next.

Brisk Button—Now with Next Level and Bundles

Looking for next-level teaching ideas? The Brisk extension just got a refresh! Now you can chat with Brisk to brainstorm and refine ideas from the content on any web page with Next Level. In this example, I clicked the Brisk Button and selected Next Level from a student essay in Google Docs.

Brisk Next Level analyzed the document and created options for what I might do next including create a slideshow, a 5-minute podcast, or engage in a brainstorming Student Boost.

You can learn more about Next Level in this video.

Bundles are a way to turn one resources into a full set of learning materials from the Brisk Button. Choose up to three materials to create such as guided notes, a slideshow, or a podcast, and Brisk creates all three at once. Using the same essay as above, I selected three materials to be created in the Brisk Button.

For each, I shared a prompt, grade level, standards, and more details.

Brisk created all of the materials at once in short order.

Brisk Next—Next Ideas, Library, and Batch Feedback

You can now create Brisk materials directly from the Brisk Teaching website with Brisk Next Ideas. All of the same functions as the Brisk Button, but now without needed to start with a document or website.

In My Library, you can quickly access all of your Brisk-created materials. Pro tip: check out the search bar for an even easier way to find what you're looking for.

And, a feature that will save you time, the all-new Batch Feedback, where you are mass upload documents for the same feedback. You still have the option of giving the OK for each piece of feedback, but now without the need to repeatedly select the Brisk Button on every student document.

Those are some really exciting updates from Brisk. We hope you're making learning and teaching better for students and staff.
