City of Wolverhampton College, located in the heart of England's West Midlands, has established itself as a beacon of further education. Founded through the amalgamation of Wulfrun College and Bilston Community College in September 1999, it adopted its current name following Wolverhampton's elevation to city status in 2000.
The institution proudly serves students from Wolverhampton and its surroundings, offering a broad spectrum of courses including T-Levels, Apprenticeships, NVQs, GCSEs, BTECs, A Levels, and higher education courses in partnership with the University of Wolverhampton.
One of Wolverhampton College's strategic pillars is its commitment to delivering high-quality feedback to students. Recognizing the importance of effective communication in the educational process, as well as the workload that feedback can create for educators, the college has embraced Mote for delivering voice feedback within the Google Workspace apps used throughout the College.
Dr. Adam Dwight, a noted advocate of Mote within the institution, praises its ability to facilitate nuanced and personalised communication:
“By enabling every teacher to use verbal feedback, Mote transcends the limitations of written text, incorporating the tone, pace, and emotional inflections of the speaker's voice. This not only enhances the engagement and comprehension of feedback for students but also ensures inclusivity through its transcription feature.”
Illustrating Mote's growing influence, the college introduced the "Mote 100 Club," an initiative that recognizes and celebrates educators who have embraced this technology, by creating over 100 Motes. With over 25 members and counting, this club signifies the widespread adoption and success of Mote among the faculty.
City of Wolverhampton College's adoption of Mote exemplifies its forward-thinking approach to education. By integrating 21st century technologies into its practices, the college not only enhances the quality of its educational offerings but also prepares its students for success in an increasingly digital world.
