Challenge – “natural classroom” collaboration

Multipoint to Multipoint ‘crowd’ collaboration —• ‘iSee’ used in an immersive learning platform• Natural classroom communication• Active collaboration rather than consumption of online content• Students immersed with high definition spatial audio and live

webcam video instead of avatars• Equity of access — anywhere, anytime• Live, rather than summative data • Everything can be saved and

replayed from any perspective
