The scalable, customizable platform gives users the creative freedom to develop any video interaction, from one-to-one chats to large-scale multiparty broadcasts.
Driven by technology platforms such as OpenTok, education -- both in and outside of the classroom -- is entering a whole new era. As education institutions and service providers increasingly recognize different learning patterns, they are embracing new technologies and applications that support individualized learning paths, including live video tutorials, remote classrooms, collaborative screen sharing and more.
The OpenTok platform is powering a growing number of education applications built by both startups and established institutions. Where e-learning platforms have traditionally relied on the digitization of content and third party applications, OpenTok allows companies to directly embed real-time communications, creating a seamless learning experience where students and teachers can connect and collaborate in the context of their learning space.
At OLC 2015, TokBox will demonstrate -- a connected online learning platform; -- a suite of web and mobile apps that allow students to take monitored exams remotely; and -- an interactive robot and application for engaging remote learning.
TokBox CTO Badri Rajasekar commented: "There is a revolution happening in education where real-time communications are transforming e-learning from the once passive consumption of digital content, to rich dynamic multi-party environments. Companies are creating whole new contextual and meaningful experiences that are driving enhanced teaching and learning outcomes. With the rise of WebRTC, it''s now possible to bring the interactive experience of a classroom to every smart user. TokBox is proud to be part of this new era in learning and excited to attend an event that champions innovation in education."
