Rob says you'll take full credit for this but one of the neatest new
features is audio! Via headsets the instructor can control who hears
him, who he hears, etc – just like the video. There's also a test
generator that's pretty slick, giving students the opportunity to
punch in their answers at a new Robotel keypad at each station – the
instructor gets immediate feedback on who answered correctly etc. He
can also ask if anyone needs more help and with a simple touch of the
keypad, any student can get special attention from the instructor.
The system has gotten 100% better – unfortunately the cost went up
considerably (don't ask, I don't know the price) Rob says that once
these are in production the older "basic" system will go down in
price.
My report on this system would give it an A+ and at least some others
agree….The training department (jerry Ford's group) is moving into a
building near the Education department in San Rafael this month. The
lab will have two of the Robotel systems.
