Multimedia Presentation in the Computer Lab
InterCLASS Live Video makes it easy for teachers to broadcast
video materials directly to a student's monitor. Using
a simple USB capture device connected to both the teacher machine
and to a DVD, VCR or Document Camera, the teacher can present materials
in smaller classrooms that do not have the space for a projector.
This works on existing computer networks and there is no need for
extra wires to install. This technology is great for students with
sight disabilities or those that have trouble viewing a projector
screen.
Making the Computer Lab more Versatile
Wanting to use the lab for more than just computer classes? Look
no further than InterCLASS Live Video! With Live Video, the computer
lab can become host to any discipline imaginable. Let squimish students
learn the biology of a frog via document camera data delivered in
real time to their Desktops. Or have students feel what it was like
to travel with the wagon trains of the Old West through videos via
a DVD player or from those downloaded from subscription sites, like
United Streaming™ or Safari Montage™. From VOD Servers,
you can simply download the stream and play it through InterCLASS,
saving valuable network bandwith.
Teacher Training is also a breeze with InterCLASS, giving trainers
the ability to easily teach newly acquired software to teachers
or to give refresher courses on programs frequently used on campus.
Last, but certainly not least, Librarians and Media Specialists
appreciate how Live Video can allow their students to access multimedia
reference material for class projects, which has become
an integral part of school curriculum and of learning about the
world around us!.
Create a Multimedia Portfolio
Teachers and Librarians can also record snippets of already purchased
materials as MPEG4 files and create a Multimedia Portfolio for future
use, saving much-needed time for lesson planning
or reference materials! InterCLASS also can broadcast the video
file playback to the entire classroom. |
