IMTC has developed
a unique way to provide the teaching ability of a Master Teacher
and the computational power of a high-end graphics workstation
at low cost to schools. Georgia Tech, in conjunction with the University
of Georgia's College of Education, is developing a low cost student
response unit, and the courseware for use on it. The initial system
is designed to distribute the geometrical modeling power of a workstation
to an entire classroom through the use of low cost units. The units
contain a small color LCD TV, a black and white character display
and a series of buttons and dials for feedback to the Computer
and teacher. Students can interact with the system, adjusting
parameters in equations and seeing the results displayed as a three-dimensional
model instantly. The TV allows for distribution of images from
the computer, educational materials from a central video library,
or live lessons from a Master Teacher at a remote site.
