Lessonbank streaming, recording, and archiving agents help Catholic schools offer a full schedule of teacher-led classes that can be attended in person, synchronously online, or asynchronously online--making Catholic school more accessible than public school could ever be.
Not only does Lessonbank help students attend classes online that they would otherwise miss in person, it gives students a complete video history of their classroom education in a searchable, YouTube style class video archive--making it possible to fill in the gaps from missed classes and confusing lectures for the first time ever.
Lessonbank streaming agents leverage Google Meet to engage remote students and to make lecture capture a friction-free experience
As a One Roster certified autonomous solution, Lessonbank syncs with your school's master schedule to automatically schedule, generate and share Meet links for every class on the schedule.
When students cannot attend in person, they can attend virtually by clicking the'Launch Class' link in Lessonbank at the start time.
If students can't attend virtually for whatever reason, they can still get credit for attending by watching the video of the missed class in its entirety--as Lessonbank can track progress and report back the result to your student information system to update attendance records
Lessonbank makes lecture capture as simple as hitting the record button. But before you do, you have the option of including two valuable features:
First, you can include live captions in multiple languages to assist students during the live stream.
Second, you can auto-generate a text transcript of the lecture for students. Combining a transcript with the lecture video offers a powerful form of multi-sensory learning that can drastically improve learning and comprehension. Then simply click 'Start Recording', and teach your in-person class as usual.
While teachers can share classroom video, we recommend only sharing smartboard content and lecture audio for the best online learning experience. Because learners can control the pace—pausing, rewinding, or speeding up content—this format generally yields a better review experience than "stand-and-deliver" teaching
When class is over, Lessonbank agents automatically archive a video for teachers, students, and parents in their own personal, YouTube-style archive.
Teachers can search their archive of past classes to find videos that are helpful in remediating truant and struggling students.
Teachers can also use their classroom lecture videos to deliver flipped classroom learning experiences.
The best part about using Lessonbank to generate content for flipped learning is that it's relevant--and delivered by the student's actual teacher.
Lessonbank also transcribes the audio into a lecture document that students can use for notes and to read along with the lecture.
Lessonbank then shares the video and document with students and parents for review and remediation in their own personal archives.
And of course, if something goes wrong, teachers can edit or delete any recording before it goes public.
With Lessonbank, teachers control the entire recording process--from starting and stopping--to editing, deleting and replacing videos.
Teachers can create polls for students to vote on during class. These polls can be useful for making checks on comprehension, facilitating discussions, and collecting anonymous responses to questions. They're also great gamifying class quizzes
Regardless if you're teaching in-person, online, or a combination of both, it's important to leave space for questions. With a couple clicks, teachers can run interactive Q&A sessions to assess student comprehension and gain valuable feedback
Teachers can use breakout rooms to give remote students an opportunity to collaborate in smaller groups--and all while remaining in the online class being live streamed on Google Meet. Breakout rooms are an important feature for online learners
Reduce pressure for students to participate by enabling students to make emoji reactions to classroom instruction. Reactions appear in the teacher's tile, and at the bottom left of the screen. It's important to give modern students modern ways to engage
