Remote teaching now a virtual reality - Akhila Seetharaman, the Hindu
In a remote engineering college in a rural area, students gather for a class. The teacher isn't present, at least not in the flesh, but the teaching is top quality and the students have no complaints. Next to cloning, virtual classrooms could be the best solution to the shortage of teachers. Recognising this, Everonn Systems India has plunged into the business in simulating real classrooms and reaching the real-time multi-way audio and visual presence of the professor to locations in towns and villages through a programme called `Zebra Kross'. "The sole aim of Zebra Kross is to take quality content to villages. We started with engineering, now we are also moving into arts and sciences," says R. Kannan, Director-Finance, Everonn Systems.
