We haven't used it specifically in the library, but tutoring uses it a bit. Below is what my colleague, Eve Walker, wrote.
We had looked at moving to Navigate as our scheduling platform. However, it would mean using Zoom as the platform for the actual sessions. We decided to stick with Brainfuse as scheduling and the sessions are all located within the one platform. Brainfuse added video and screen sharing a few months ago. Brainfuse also has a better whiteboard and better equation editing - we see a lot of math!
We have been using Navigate for tutoring early alerts though, and that's been working well. If a professor flags a student in need of tutoring, I can reach out to them directly by phone/email and get them set up with a tutor pretty quickly.
I'd still like to consider Navigate for scheduling in-person Peer tutoring when we return to campus. It would be a replacement for WCONLINE. It doesn't have exactly the same features, but I do think it could be a good move when the time is right.
