PresentationTube

A new non-profit video sharing network, called PresentationTube [http://presentationtube.net] was lunched last month by a professor of educational technology at Sultan Qaboos University, Sultanate of Oman. PresentationTube encourages teachers and students record and share their video presentations in a new way. In a few weeks, the network has attracted thousands of teachers, virtual presenters, e-learning instructors, business professionals and students from around the world. The network has two components: a desktop recorder and sharing network. The recorder synchronizes a variety of visual aids, including presenter's audio and video, PowerPoint slides, drawing board, whiteboard and web browser to generate video presentations ready for uploading to PresentationTube network. The network allows presenters to publish their video presentations and involve the audience via scrollable slide thumbnails, comments, and quizzes. Video presentations can be used in regular classrooms, flipped classrooms, home revisions, e-learning courses, blended learning environments, distance education settings, virtual conferences, and business orientations.
