Abstract

Putting technology to work to improve teaching and learning is the goal of the "Intelligent Classroom" project at McGill University. A hardware and software installation allows for the automated capture of audio, video, slides, and handwritten annotations during a live lecture, with subsequent access by students. The development process, a collaborative effort of computer engineers, educational specialists, professors and students, is described, as well as usage by students in four different classes following the initial deployment of the system. Students were found to access the systems as a review tool, and appreciated the changes to the in-class presentation as well as the opportunity for later access. Students' and professors' reactions are described, as well as suggestions for future developments.
