Enrich Online Classes with Live Voice and Video Conferencing (Synchronous Learning)

Addressing the different learning styles of multiple students is one of the greatest challenges that online instructors face. Without provisions for each style of learning, an online course can leave some students behind. For course success, each student should feel completely engaged.

Studies of online pedagogy demonstrate that synchronous learning tools, such as live chat or conferencing, accommodate learners of differing styles. To fully engage online students and help build an instructor-led environment, Pearson eCollege offers two synchronous learning tools, ClassLive™ and ClassLive Pro™- both powered by Elluminate®, a leading provider of synchronous learning applications,

ClassLive, The Pearson eCollege Whiteboard

Pearson eCollege’s synchronous learning whiteboard tool, ClassLive, is a fully integrated version of Elluminate’s powerful, live Web conferencing tool for education. ClassLive’s whiteboard allows instructors to moderate live demonstrations, including realtime chat, shown to an entire online class.

Loaded with features that enable rich classroom interaction, such as slideshows, graphing and polling, this robust whiteboard tool helps instructors engage online learners. Using the ClassLive tool is like having an online chat session that includes a whiteboard. As the lesson unfolds, students can ask the instructor real-time questions using the live chat and hand raising features.

ClassLive Pro, Education VoIP in Pearson eCollege

ClassLive Pro is an enhanced version of Pearson eCollege’s whiteboard tool. This synchronous learning communication tool supports two-way voice over the Internet protocol (VoIP) and live video for dynamic class discussions online.

ClassLive Pro allows instructors and students to see and hear each other using standard multimedia hardware. In this way, instructors can engage an entire online class. This interactive synchronous learning tool also supports full application sharing for hands-on training and demonstrations.

ClassLivePro
Beyond  Synchronous VoIP capabilities, the ClassLive Pro conferencing tool offers richer and
more interactive features than any other whiteboard tool.
