Product Overview
Star Lesson offers schools, universities and colleges a true plug-and-play lesson observation solution.
Summary
Star Lesson enables teachers to record, review, tag, archive, share and publish video footage of their lessons for future CPD, teaching and training. Because the system comes in a portable version it can be located within any classroom, the only limitation is the requirement for a power supply.
The system uses and is controlled via the school's network thus facilitating remote observation. The quality of the audio combined with the ability of the remote observer to pan and tilt the camera means that lessons can be remotely observed and tagged in adherence with the Ofsted or TDA Professional Standards criteria. An integrated dibba reader and LCD viewing screens also enables teachers to control the process of filming their own lessons.
- Teacher-Centric
- Teachers are totally in control of the process, it is their tool, they decide whether to record a lesson with their dibba or not.
- New Learning Channel
- Schools build-up a networked 'lesson bank' of hundreds of their most successful lessons, providing a valuable learning resource for teachers and pupils alike.
- New CPD Tool
- Teachers can observe, tag and learn from their own teaching, allowing them to hone and perfect their skills over time.
- Cost Saving & Less Disruption
- Star Lesson makes obsolete the need for expensive and often disruptive third party lesson observation.
