eBeam Connect, a New Web-based Software to Enhance e-Learning

By Mandira Srivastava, TMCnet Contributor


eBeam Connect, a new web-based software, has been introduced by Luidia, Inc., creator of the interactive eBeam technology. It allows teachers and students to interact from web-enabled devices, like iPads and other tablets.


According to a press release, eBeam Connect and other upcoming products will kick off the company’s new beta program, eBeamLabs.com. The program’s mission is to give teachers and students early access to new and unreleased products so that they can provide direct feedback to Luidia’s product development team.

“Until recently, a classroom generally had just one computing device, which was usually a single desktop computer for the teacher,” said Jody Forehand, VP of Product Planning, Luidia. “As the use of Internet-enabled mobile devices skyrockets, and as teachers and parents recognize the importance of technology for increasing student engagement in this generation of ‘digital natives,’ we’re seeing an explosion of devices in the classroom, including laptops, iPads, and a variety of other Windows and Android (News - Alert) tablets.”

She added, “eBeam Connect allows users of all these devices to collaborate in the same virtual space, whether they are in the same physical classroom or connecting from home or the field.”

According to a press release, eBeam Connect offers a browser-to-browser experience, where any number of teachers and students can start or join interactive sessions to create, capture, and share content in real time

This software will allow teachers and students to utilize touch technology to share notes and diagrams, brainstorm, and more with each other. A teacher can also look in the student work’s progress through his or her computer by clicking through each of the user pages.

eBeam Connect can be connected with Luidia’s hardware products (eBeam Edge or eBeam Engage). In addition, remote students can also join in the class for long-distance learning and collaboration over the cloud.

In other news from December 2011, Luidia Inc. announced a record year propelled by major partnerships with leading technology companies and continued rapid adoption of its eBeam interactive whiteboard technology.
