Eduvoice
EduVoice is a web based voice application for synchronous and asynchronous communication which is used among other things for group communication or one-to-one communication. You can record texts, play them back and make them available or send them via e-mail. Here are a few examples of applications: supervising work groups, communication and co-operation in projects with other (foreign) schools.

Weblab
WebLab is designed specifically for language studies. Using scrolling text and audio, the vocabulary will be better understood. Students record their own voice and can then hear their pronunciation. Teachers can post an exercise or ask questions via Voice Boards. Students can then respond to that. Finally, Weblab has a feature to create vocal tests.

Adding voice features to e-Learning offers new possibilities:

  • Spoken interactive discussions and presentations that can take place in real-time or asynchronously
  • Practising or testing the pronunciation is now also possible from within the learning or testing environment
  • Explaining the teaching material using the spoken word.

Live Classroom
Live Classroom is designed specifically for online co-operation, demonstration and instruction. You can give online lectures, instructions, training, supervision and coaching. Live Classroom offers a wide range of communication, instruction and authorisation tools.

The facilities include:

  • Real-time oral consultation with several persons simultaneously (2-way streaming audio)
  • Voting, using buttons, for or against something
  • Interactive multiple choice questions and/or open questions, where you can present the answers given almost immediately
  • Displaying instruction material, for example PowerPoint slides, pictures or a web page to support the instructions or consultations. You can put out this material, or upload it in real-time. You can lend weight to your instruction by online drawing, pointing, marking, adding text etc.
  • Application sharing: simultaneous use of one application, or taking control of the computer screen of one of the participants. During an application training session the teacher can use the student’s application to demonstrate how things work.

You can also decide the authorisation level; establish which participation possibilities the students should have. During a session you can increase or decrease the options open to participants (also temporarily). You can also dovetail into standard programmes to support the hearing impaired and the visually handicapped.
