Interactive whiteboard software technology is the ideal modern solution for education. With college and university expenses sky-rocketing, more students than ever are looking into the less expensive alternative of attending classes via the Internet, cutting out the expenses of room and board, and of commuting.
But this can be troublesome because it can diminish the powerful impact that we know is made through interaction between student and teacher in a live setting. Many ideas that the teacher could put up on the blackboard or upon a whiteboard in the classroom can be lost or miscommunicated, or their intended impact can simply be lost on the student. Interactive whiteboard software changes all that.
Now as a teacher, your students who are engaged in distance learning do not miss out on anything that you want them to comprehend. Every part of your lesson is dynamic and interactive and you can make it collaborative at any time you want. Dynamic interaction of course enhances memory and retention, plus it provides the student with a deeper understanding of the subject matter which lasts far beyond the mere rote memorisation of material for the sake of passing a test.
As an educator in the classroom you are forever attempting to make text come to life. This has always been, needless to say, much more difficult within the distance learning setting for the most obvious of reasons. Now, the biggest obstacle to successful distance learning via the Internet is removed.
You and the student, and students can interact with each other and manipulate objects on the screen. You can all collaborate at once to highlight passages, make notations on photographs or graphics, alter images, chat, launch videos and more. All is done in real time. Subject matter comes to life and gets intuitively grasped. Nothing is lost from the live classroom setting. You can still personalise your approach to educating. To reiterate, there is nothing of any essential importance or impact that is lost despite the distance.
Furthermore, if you are not a school or college educator but you give education or training to a business team or employees, interactive whiteboard technology is perfect for your purposes. If you must educate or train employees who operate from different and widespread offices, the software makes this far easier than it's ever been before.
No more need to commute or book flights. No more need to provide food! It's easy for everyone to attend and if you work for a large company this means that people don't need to be cut out of important meetings and you don't have to host multiple seminars to teach the same thing over and over again.
No matter what your education or distance training objective or needs, interactive whiteboard software is your most powerful educational tool.
