Use the link below to view a 5-minute streaming video file from a Macromedia Flash class. The demo illustrates some key points about our RCI process and technology. Here are some things that you should look for:
• Use of Video. The instructor briefly turns on the web camera as they return from break. This lets students place a "voice to a face." However, the instructor does not continue to use her video image throughout the presentation.
• Use of Whiteboard. To answer a student's question, the instructor was able to refer to a whiteboard image that was captured earlier in the day with a mimio™ whiteboard capture device. This saved the instructor the time of having to recreate whiteboard work. In addition, the instructor can print or send that file to student so they have a record of all whiteboard work from the class.
• Engaging Remote Sites. The instructor engages and acknowledges students joining the class remotely from other cities.
Also note that the demo does not accurately reflect RCI technology in a few ways because we are presenting you with a recorded demonstration. The demo is not representative of RCI in these ways:
• Live Not Recorded. There are no recorded presentations in an RCI class. Everything is driven by live, instructor-led training. This demo was pre-recorded to give you some sense of what a class would actually feel like.
• Higher Quality. To reduce the bandwidth requirements for the demo, we reduced the quality of the video images. In a real RCI class you would see high quality, full-screen images.
• Hands-on Access. The demonstration illustrates the "watching" and "listening" components of an RCI class. However, what is missing from our demonstration is the "doing" component of a class. In an actual class, you would have a second computer that you would be able to use to get hands-on practice with the software.
