Invention:
This invention is a system designed to allow a single faculty member to teach a course from an originating location but have full interactivity with students participating from one or more locations. This technology includes high fidelity audio and video, content sharing, and live gradable participation. This system can be an add-on tool for video conferencing programs to provide organization-specific enhancements.
Background:
Popular videoconferencing programs such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and WebEx are used in a variety of environments, but have limited audio and video control, limited interactivity, and participation tracking. The Eller PeaPod Virtual Alternative addresses these limitations and allows for a better educational experience with hybrid, remote, and virtual learning.
Applications:
- Videoconferencing
- Remote teaching/learning
- Online interactivity
- Hybrid teaching/instruction
Advantages:
- Participation tracking
- Better interactivity
- Enhanced audio/video control
