US 2014/0004496 A1 · DYNAMIC EVOLVING VIRTUAL CLASSROOM

Abstract

According to an aspect of an embodiment, a method of providing a virtual class includes providing access to temporally-dimensioned educational material to participants of the virtual class in a social network. The method may also include capturing supplemental material generated by the participants interacting with each other in real-time in the social network. The method may also include associating the supplemental material with a range of relative time within the temporally-dimensioned educational material. The method may also include providing the temporally-dimensioned educational material to a client device associated with a participant of the virtual class. The method may also include providing the supplemental material to the client device for presentation at the client device during the range of relative time within the temporally-dimensioned educational material.

Dependent claims

A system of providing a virtual class, comprising:

a social network configured to allow participants of a virtual class to interact with each other in real-time and generate supplemental material related to temporally-dimensioned educational material;
and
a server communicatively coupled to the social network, the server configured to:
provide access to the temporally-dimensioned educational material;
capture the supplemental material;
associate the supplemental material with a range of relative time within the temporally-dimensioned educational material;
provide the temporally-dimensioned educational material to a client device associated with a participant of the virtual class;
and
provide the supplemental material to the client device for presentation at the client device during the range of relative time within the temporally dimensioned educational material.
