When most people think about a classroom situation, they envision a professor standing at the front of the room, lecturing, and writing down important concepts on a blackboard. Most people also picture students sitting at their desks and taking notes on the concepts being covered. Note-taking allows students to preserve a record of their classroom experience, which gives them a basis for remembering the lecture and for studying the material. The process of note-taking is possibly the most critical factor when it comes to learning in a classroom setting. However, the seemingly simple task of recording notes is not easy for many students at the university level.
Students can have problems if everything that is being presented in class is difficult to capture.
Students are then faced with a tough challenge - trying to pay close attention to and comprehend everything that the professor says while at the same time, attempting to record detailed notes of the lecture. Classroom 2000 is an attempt to solve this problem. Classroom 2000 is a new classroom environment prototype that captures as much of the classroom experience as possible. This classroom environment records each lecture in real time, capturing everything the professor writes and says. Next, this information is automatically converted into a Webpage interface.
