The percentage of various answers are displayed on the instructor's screen, providing a completely anonymous method to verify student progress. LearnLinc incorporates a shared whiteboard to address this issue. The instructor or student with floor control can drop in images from any software running on their computer, edit graphics with annotation tools, or add text. When students log into a session, the software authenticates the enrollment and then loads a student profile. The student can easily browse through the sessions that are being offered and register for them.
Students can also preview the multimedia materials available for sessions.
This preview capability is an improvement on both traditional classroom and distance learning structures where materials are only seen during the class session. Students may also gain access to multimedia assignments between class sessions. Since students may review content at any time after a session, instructors can design their courses with a mixture of synchronous and asynchronous learning. The more difficult content can be utilized while the instructor is leading the class. Less complicated content or homework problems can be completed by students between sessions.
