A NEW STEP IN LEARNING - A NEW INTERACTION EXPERIENCE
About us
Our vision: to create one world by bringing together the real and virtual dimensions
Our mission: to bring people together in the online world, by easing interaction and collaboration from different locations, in a natural and intuitive way
Our goal: to develop an online platform that offers face-to-face, synchronous and collaborative communication between remote contributors, working in the same virtual room, using touch technologies
The Motivation
The challenges of modern education and learning (public, private, corporate): economic, demographic, geographic, etc.
The contemporary challenges of people interactions, knowledge and information flow
The use of modern technologies to facilitate learning, interaction, knowledge exchange
Efficient and cost-effective environment, with global reach
Concepts in Learning – Interaction and Content
“Classical”Learning
(Trainer-Led)
e-Learning
Massive Open Online
Courses(MOOC)
Online Live
Learning(OLL)
The Idea
Defining a platform that supports a live, online, synchronous and interactive collaboration space for users
In a nutshell
Interactive platform that facilitates synchronous interaction between participants from remote locations in a mutual workspace
As participants interact in real time (audio/video), their actions are replicated on all connected devices
The Interface
FLIPBOARD• Editing, saving and restoring
the session• Accessing documents and
external files from Dropbox• Accessing the Internet• Work with external application• Changing the layout of the
workspace• Using clips directly from
YouTube• Import PowerPoint
presentations
CLIPBOARD• Notes and Comments• Instant access from
any page• Drag and drop
WORKBOARD• Interaction /
Contribution• Writing• Drawing• Object handling• Working with and on
multimedia files
COMMAND DECK• Multiple writing tools /
eraser• Multiple pages• Text recognition
Usage Contexts / Applicability
Education Virtual classroom for live sessions from multiple locations All the participants can work together on the same virtual blackboard All the participants can interact with the professor or with each other Storing the entire lecture for future reference
Tutoring Real time interaction using fixed or mobile devices The participants can work together on the same virtual notebook and on
individual virtual notebooks Save, Replay, Resume and Edit functions for the existing tutoring session
Training Performing remote trainings with participants from different locations Working simultaneously together on the same virtual device All the participants can read, write and draw on the same electronic notebook
Business Virtual meeting room for live sessions from multiple locations Simultaneous collaboration on the same virtual flipchart or whiteboard Storing the entire session for future reference
