These are some screenshots from a Zoom meeting with Professor Ryan Buell from Harvard University, who was one of the experts we consulted to formulate the solution.
Shows the various components that go into the setup.
Also demonstrates how the teacher can speak directly into the camera (thanks to the teleprompter), while still looking at their content/notes or the online students.
Bird's eye view of the setup - which also highlights a flying camera to give an extra dimension when demonstrating something physical during an online class.
This shot highlights the integration of shared screen/notes/content along with the teacher, student and a view that the teacher is directly interacting with the student. Gives a personal touch that is missed during an online session.
Also, setting up of such various frames would be possible thanks to the software that takes the feed from Zoom, Cameras and any other sources.
Having the teacher and the classroom in one screen brings a newsroom style discussion to classes. This is especially useful when discussing case studies which have a constant back and forth between students and needs to be closely facilitated by the teacher. Students can see others as they try to catch non-verbal cues for pauses and other nuances that are missed in an online setting.
Also seen is the potential of using graphical prompts (bottom of the screen) to keep the discussion focused - going beyond what's possbile in a classroom setting!
