Virtual classroom
Live streaming web-platform
Softdevice has been developing a live broadcasting platform as a new business product. This new product can be deployed as a platform to deliver lectures, classes or workshops and connect physically remote spaces with each other by the press of a button. We hope the system encourages new styles of teaching, connecting teachers and students, creating a sense of unity. The platform consists of original software and hardware equipment, installed at each connected campus location.
During the initial phase of the project, we prepared simulated, remote learning environments and conducted workshop-style idea generation sessions, in order to explore what new forms of remote education are currently missing from typical online classes. Following a thorough field test at live events, implementations of prototypes of the proposed system were build to put the prior research to the test. While projectors create a window to other campuses, we hope that enabling quick switches between lecture materials, live props, or student questions at connected locations, can create are more flexible interconnected virtual learning environment.
