Abstract

A system and method for interactive web based learning may include providing at least one teaching node accessible by at least one teacher, and providing at least one student node accessible by at least one student. A bidirectional live interface may be provided between the at least one teaching node and the at least one student node. The bidirectional live interface may enable the student node to receive at least one of an audio, a video or a text based communication from the at least one teaching node. The bidirectional live interface may also enable the at least one teaching node to receive at least one of an audio, a video or a text based communication from the at least one student node.

Claims

1. A method comprising:

providing at least one teaching node accessible by at least one teacher;

providing at least one student node accessible by at least one student; and

providing a bidirectional live interface between the at least one teaching node and the at least one student node, the bidirectional live interface enabling the student node to receive at least one of an audio, a video or a text based communication from the at least one teaching node, and enabling the at least one teaching node to receive at least one of an audio, a video or a text based communication from the at least one student node.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the teaching node resides in a live classroom environment including live students.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the student node is remotely located from the teaching node.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the at least one teaching node includes a signal configured to indicate that at least one student node is waiting to communicate over the bidirectional live interface.

5. A computer program product residing on a computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

providing at least one teaching node accessible by at least one teacher;

providing at least one student node accessible by at least one student; and

providing a bidirectional live interface between the at least one teaching node and the at least one student node, the bidirectional live interface enabling the student node to receive at least one of an audio, a video or a text based communication from the at least one teaching node, and enabling the at least one teaching node to receive at least one of an audio, a video or a text based communication from the at least one student node.

6. The computer program product of claim 5, wherein the teaching node resides in a live classroom environment including live students.

7. The computer program product of claim 5, wherein the student node is remotely located from the teaching node.

8. The computer program product of claim 5, wherein the at least one teaching node includes a signal configured to indicate that at least one student node is waiting to communicate over the bidirectional live interface.

9. An interactive learning system comprising:

at least one teaching node accessible by at least one teacher;

at least one student node accessible by at least one student; and

a bidirectional live interface between the at least one teaching node and the at least one student node, the bidirectional live interface enabling the student node to receive at least one of an audio, a video or a text based communication from the at least one teaching node, and enabling the at least one teaching node to receive at least one of an audio, a video or a text based communication from the at least one student node.

10. The interactive learning system of claim 9, wherein the teaching node resides in a live classroom environment including live students.

11. The interactive learning system of claim 9, wherein the student node is remotely located from the teaching node.

12. The interactive learning system of claim 9, wherein the at least one teaching node includes a signal configured to indicate that at least one student node is waiting to communicate over the bidirectional live interface.
