S.A.V.E. Solution:
This Small Business Innovation Research Phase I project chooses to aid learning at the higher education level. This project specifically targets the problem modern colleges have with successfully educating students in entry level mathematics. In a sampling of colleges, more than half of the students attempting College Algebra failed to pass it (Miami-Dade Community College)(Austin Community#). This project will improve the learning process by specifically improving the students personal study time.. It was determined that teachers communicate at over 180 words per minute, whereas students are able to record notes only at approximately 20 words per minute (##). Furthermore, these incomplete notes suffer from their static nature, and cannot repeat the step-by-step processes fundamental to mathematics. The objective of this project is to develop an integrated multimedia recording and distribution system based around COTS digital whiteboard technology. The entirety of the instructor’s oral lecture and written notes will be stored in a compact, real-time format that will be distributed to students. Phase I of this project seeks to prove the viability of recording and synchronizing the audio and graphical data. It is anticipated this exploratory research will prove the feasibility of gathering the data, synchronizing it, and storing it in a readily distributable format.
