In this episode of Illuminate Higher Education, N2N Services’ CEO Kiran Kodithala speaks with Dr. Narine Hall, co-founder and CEO at InSpace Proximity.
When Dr. Hall initially began teaching virtually, the biggest problem was feeling like she wasn't a part of the learning experience. For example, when students would split into separate Zoom rooms, she lost the overall awareness of what was happening among the students.
She asked herself, "How do we build an environment where learning happens, where we can put students and teachers at the center, then evolve the platform around that instead of trying to fit them into the technology that exists?" This was the foundation of InSpace Proximity.
From there, she eventually learned that being able to see everybody who is in the classroom is important from a social perspective, not just for the teachers, but for the students as well. On the other hand, those small group discussions are necessary because it gives every student an individual opportunity to contribute, instead of just one person talking and everybody listening.
What is the best way to go about combining these things?
Her "aha" moment was taking all the concepts that were happening in real classrooms and bringing them to virtual classrooms.
