Industry: Education

Press Release Summary: Over the next few years, virtually everyone will adopt a
technology that allows them to interact with people, no matter how far away, as if
they were in the same room. The technology is called telepresence, and a number of
offshore tutoring organizations already use it, reporting both satisfaction and a
strong acceptance from the users. Tutorbene.com makes the technology available at
your click to unleash the world of knowledge for your kid.

Press Release Body: Telepresence refers to a set of technologies which allow a
person to feel as if they were present, to give the appearance that they were
present, or to have an effect, at a location other than their true location.
Telepresence requires that the senses of the user, or users, are provided with such
stimuli as to give the feeling of being in that other location. Additionally, the
user(s) may be given the ability to affect the remote location. Therefore
information may be travelling in both directions between the user and the remote
location.
Telephony allowed us to hear and interact with people far away; television brought
us pictures from a distance. By combining the interactivity of telephones, the
visual environments of television, the virtual environments of cyber world, and new
kinds of information systems, it is now feasible to develop telepresence systems.
The ongoing revolution in computing infrastructure is having a profound effect on
the entire process of education. Not only is technology being used to extend
educational opportunities to populations and communities previously underserved, but
it is also transforming the way and form in which learners are absorbing knowledge.
Some fundamental aspects and motivations remain unchanged, however. The
technological innovations are rapidly revolutionizing our traditional methods of
education, transforming and enhancing these basic notions of classrooms,
laboratories, discussion groups and books.
It is well-known that the effectiveness of classroom teaching diminishes in
proportion to the number of students in a class. Once a class size reaches more than
about 25 students, several deteriorations occur. The interactivity in class
decreases dramatically and the instructor loses any personal touch with the class.
Not every teacher or professor possesses the talent to explain the material well.
And with other pressures mounting, many instructors are either not experts in their
class material or are not good performers in class, or are not interested in
teaching.
The Multiple Perspective Interactive system allows interactive viewing of the
classroom, and works both in live and archival modes. The live mode allows any
person anywhere to be telepresent in the class and participate in it.
A student can be observing reactions of other students physically present in the
classroom while the instructor is explaining some complex concepts. A remote student
can electronically copy the contents of the classroom material, including what is
displayed on the board. In fact, a student may give instructions to automatically
store everything that is displayed on the board, and concentrate fully on
understanding the material being presented. A remote student can ask questions in
class at any time
Another interesting implication of using MPI video technology may be that classes
given by an excellent instructor on the topic will become timeless. Thus, lectures
by an excellent instructor will be available to students to review even after the
lecturer is no longer alive. In present scenario very few websites are providing
this facility. http://www.tutorbene.com is one of them. You can take a tour of this
website. It is providing free demo for few minutes to help you understand the
concept better and make you aware of the ongoing advancements in today's education
scenario.
