With support from:

1. The Simulcast Computer accepts video output from a presenter’s laptop and then displays the output on a touch screen.

2. The presenter is allowed to make pen annotations onto the screen, which are then sent to the projector.

3. The slides from the presenter, the annotations and the audio are recorded as a video and can be uploaded to our web system.

4. Students can access the recorded lectures on our web system and add their own notes to that lecture.

OverviewCurrent Projects

The student web interface allows collaborative note-taking, in which information is pulled from the combined set of notes from all students to highlight the most important parts of the lecture, as well as the most common terms and key words.
