Abstract

A method to provide a remote classroom experience is provided. The method includes providing, to a first client device, a video feed of a virtual classroom, the video feed including a first breakout group with at least one student, receiving, from the first client device, a selection of a first breakout group and a teaching material, providing, to a second client device with the at least one student, a partial video feed of the virtual classroom including other student members of the first breakout group, providing the teaching material to the second client device based on the selection, receiving a feedback from the second client device, responsive to the teaching material, and providing the feedback from the second client device to the first client device. A system and a non-transitory, computer-readable medium storing instructions to perform the above method are also provided.

Claims (40)

1 . A computer-implemented method, comprising:

providing, to a first client device, a video feed of a virtual classroom, the video feed including a first breakout group with at least one student;

receiving, from the first client device, a selection of a first breakout group and a teaching material;

providing, to a second client device with the at least one student, a partial video feed of the virtual classroom including other student members of the first breakout group;

providing the teaching material to the second client device based on the selection;

receiving a feedback from the second client device, responsive to the teaching material; and

providing the feedback from the second client device to the first client device.

2 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising providing, to a display in the first client device, a panel indicative of a student activity in the first breakout group, and updating the student activity in the panel based on the feedback.

3 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein the video feed further includes a classroom view, further providing to the first client device a video feed of at least one student that is not part of a breakout group in the classroom view.

4 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein providing a video feed of a virtual classroom comprises including a view from a class camera with at least one student in a real classroom in the video feed.

5 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein providing a video feed of a virtual classroom comprises including a view of an instructor camera illustrating an instructor notes, in the video feed.

6 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein providing a video feed of a virtual classroom comprises including a video of a sign language translation of an instructor lecture, in the video feed.

7 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein providing a video feed of a virtual classroom comprises sorting in a display of the first client device, an indicator of a student activity.

8 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , wherein providing a partial video feed of the virtual classroom comprises indicating, in the video feed for each of one or more participants in the virtual classroom, an indicator of a chat message directed to the second client device by the one or more participants.

9 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, from the second client device, a request for a privacy view from the at least one student, and removing a video capture of the at least one student from the video feed.

10 . The computer-implemented method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, from a participant in the virtual classroom, an location feedback indicative of whether the first client device or the second client device is remotely connected to a server providing the video feed, and adjusting the video feed to the second client device based on the location feedback.

11 . A system, comprising:

one or more processors; and

a memory storing instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to:

provide, to a first client device, a video feed of a virtual classroom, the video feed including a first breakout group with at least one student;

receive, from the first client device, a selection of a first breakout group and a teaching material;

provide, to a second client device with the at least one student, a partial video feed of the virtual classroom including other student members of the first breakout group;

provide the teaching material to the second client device;

receive a feedback from the second client device, responsive to the teaching material; and

provide the feedback from the second client device to the first client device.

12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the one or more processors further execute instructions to provide, to a display in the first client device, a panel indicative of a student activity in the first breakout group, and to update the student activity in the panel based on the feedback.

13 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the video feed further includes a classroom view, and the one or more processors further execute instructions to provide, to the first client device, a video feed of at least one student that is not part of a breakout group in the classroom view.

14 . The system of claim 11 , wherein to provide a video feed of a virtual classroom the one or more processors execute instructions to include a view from a class camera with at least one student in a real classroom in the video feed.

15 . The system of claim 11 , wherein to provide a video feed of a virtual classroom the one or more processors execute instructions to include a view of an instructor camera illustrating an instructor notes, in the video feed.

16 . A computer-implemented method, comprising:

separating multiple students in a virtual class feed into one or more breakout groups;

accessing a tab for one of the breakout groups on a display that includes each of the one or more breakout groups, the tab including the students in each of the one or more breakout groups;

providing a teaching assignment to a first breakout group;

identifying an activity of a student in the first breakout group;

accessing the virtual class feed for the first breakout group for an intervention, based on the activity of the student; and

interacting with the student in the first breakout group based on the teaching assignment and the activity of the student.

17 . The computer-implemented method of claim 16 , further comprising selecting a student from the one or more breakout groups with a filter and interfacing with the student via the virtual class feed.

18 . The computer-implemented method of claim 16 , further comprising setting a privacy mode for the students in the virtual class feed.

19 . The computer-implemented method of claim 16 , further comprising sorting the students in the virtual class feed according to an alphabetical listing or an action such as raising a hand, providing a feedback, or sending a chat message.

20 . The computer-implemented method of claim 16 , further comprising providing a poll to the students in a second breakout group and interacting with the students in the second breakout group based on a result of the poll.
