Activities / UsefulUtilities
Handy little extras to make sessions better.
UsefulUtilities gives you simple single-purpose tools to put on screen or share with your learners. Create timers, QR codes, random number generators or randomise a list. Everyone watching sees the results while you stay in control.
What you get
A shared timer
Count up, count down or aim for a specific time, kept in sync for everyone watching.
QR codes in any colour
Turn a link or some text into a QR code that fills the screen, so a room can scan it and go.
Randomisers
Roll dice, draw numbers, spin a wheel or pick from a list, with everyone seeing the results.
Controls and customisations
Tweak the colours and the text with you in control. Learners just need to watch the screen.
How it works
- 1
Choose a utility and set it up.
- 2
Share the link or put it on the screen.
- 3

Ideas to get you started
- Timing group tasks and breaks
- Sharing a link or resource as a QR code
- Picking a scenario or question to tackle
Nothing for learners to install
Learners open a link and get straight on with it, and the tools are designed with phones, tablets and laptops in mind. You manage everything from one trainer hub.
Works well with
GroupCards
Learners drag words and phrases into categories on a shared board, together, on their own devices.
ExploreResourcesForCourses
A clean, tidy resource page for learners with links, files and information, plus light-touch visibility controls.
ExploreScenarioSets
Themed scenarios for groups to discuss, each with its own shared notes.
