Abstract: Systems and methods for displaying a large number of participants in videoconference are described. The participant's video feeds are presented in a continuous scrolling manner, such that each participant's video feed is visible for a part of the time. The participants may select the number of videos displayed at one time on a grid. The system and method monitor which video feeds are being, or about to be displayed, and streams the feeds accordingly. The system and method also provide for classroom-like settings by allowing students to “raise their hand” and be “called on” by an instructor. By scrolling though all of the videos in a meeting, people that are running a session can monitor the other participants, permitting them to select someone to focus on, and allows the other participants to see each other, producing a “sense of belonging.

Abstract: Systems and methods for online classroom instruction are described that facilitate the learning and application of course information in an active and synchronous learning environment. Data obtained from monitoring or testing students is used to guide the learning process by providing student-specific questions in quizzes and exams and for forming and conducting breakout groups. The instructor can monitor the breakout groups using a visual display and can rearrange the groups during class. Students and teachers may view all of the students in class using a scrolling display of the student's video feeds.

Abstract: Systems and methods for online classroom instruction are described that facilitate the learning and application of course information in an active and synchronous learning environment. The system monitors the activity of the students in each breakout group, and the teacher is provided with a graphical indication, for each breakout group, of the amount of activity. The teacher may also use the graphical interface to either view a particular breakout group, or become n active member of a particular breakout group. The teacher may also move students from one breakout group to another.
