CLASSROOM EDUCATION LEARNS A FEW NEW TRICKS.

With synchronous learning and real-time lectures, Flipick will usher in a new age of interactive learning.

Dubai, UAE:  Flipick is an education platform provider whose mission is to create a self-paced ecosystem for learning that uses cutting-edge technology to deliver interactive lessons. Today, Flipick launched its Synchronous Learning module that supports a collaborative classroom environment where teachers and students can interact in real-time. With this latest module, Flipick aims to redefine the traditional means of education that till now have been unidirectional, thus opening up a whole world of possibilities in interactive learning.

“There’s so much going on in the world today that keeping updated is a challenge for teachers as much as it is for the students.” said Mr. Ravi Dugal, Founder and President of Flipick. He added, “Traditional mediums of education like books and other reading materials are increasingly getting out-dated and the only way to keep up with this barrage of updates is to help the content developers (and teachers) connect personally with the students.”

The Synchronous Learning module works towards this effectively as it creates a learning ecosystem using various technological tools.

Video conferencing: At a prearranged date and a designated time, the instructors can log in at their end and commence the lecture. At the same time, the students who have subscribed to the class, can log in and start attending the lecture.

Whiteboard broadcast with annotations: The module uses cloud-based HTML5 platform to turn digital devices like Laptops, Desktops, iPads, Android Tabs or even mobile phones into recordable whiteboards. So the instructors can now use voice recording, annotations, photos and text to broadcast fully interactive lessons from anywhere in the world.

Low bandwidth: All lectures are streamed using a propriety compression tool that makes it light enough for slow internet connections, while maintaining the richness of the lesson.

Student management: From scheduling classroom sessions and conducting regular tests to managing student batches and reviewing their progress, the module gives institutes and instructors full control over their virtual classrooms.

Real-time assessments and analytics: The Synchronous Learning platform also allows instructors to create interactive practice tests as well as ones based on custom exam patterns. Since the results are published instantaneously, the instructors can use real-time performance data of their students and tailor their instructions. The students also can use the in-built analytics tool to identify their strengths and weaknesses and target the areas that need work.

With each passing day, the trend of smartphones and tabs is posing new problems to the traditional mediums of education. But with Flipick’s Synchronous Learning platform, institutes, instructors and the students can mutually benefit from each other using the diverse opportunities that the module provides.
