Electronic annotations, audio, video and even Web browser activity, are all automatically recorded and time stamped. After a lecture, the computer program automatically weaves the captured events together into a set of standard Web pages. A time line provides an index to the video, slides, and visited Web pages. While viewing a slide, students can click on the instructor's annotations to replay the audio and video at the time the note was written. Clicking on a visited URL opens a browser at that location.
Students can also replay the entire lecture without any intervention.
The computing technology allows students and instructors to summarize, then go back later to re-create and review what happened in class. It captured the notes for me, as well as the audio. I knew I could always go back to the Web, review the notes and listen to the lectures again. And, I could do that as many times as necessary. Classroom 2000 is a hit with instructors, too.
