[Educational] A new web based platform for online education

[mitiania]

Hey everyone! My name is Dmitrii.

Just wanted to tell you all about a new web based online education/distance
learning platform service invite you to beta test. Although his platform is
not strictly limited to e-learning services, it provides new opportunities
to individuals or educational institutions wishing to deliver their
educational services to a broad and expanding online audience. All responses
and/or suggestions are welcome and would be highly appreciated.

http://www.tradephoneline.com Tradephoneline.com  is launching a new video
streaming/broadcasting/conferencing service. The idea is that anyone (an
individual, a company) can broadcast anything they want online. It could be
a simple webcam home or office (or anywhere else for that matter) or it
could be a selection of prerecorded videos that could be streamed by a
customizable schedule. That makes it a personal Internet broadcasting
channel. The new and exiting thing is that it is a two way channel, meaning
that it is interactive. The viewers can interact with the broadcaster like
in a video conference.

There are two types of users in the system - providers(broadcasters) and
subscribers (receivers). Broadcasters can make their broadcasts paid for or
free for subscribers. The subscribers, on the other side, can view free
broadcasts or choose to pay for commercial broadcasts.

There are also two different interfaces. A multi-user interface which allows
an unlimited amount of viewers to connect to a single broadcast/conference
simultaneously. All of them have the ability to interact with the
broadcaster. There is also a one-on-one interface where only one viewer at a
time can connect to the broadcast.

This system can be used by educators in a variety of ways. For example, a
tutor or an instructor could use the one-on-one broadcasting interface to
teach private lessons online. In the same way a lawyer, psychologist, real
estate agent, doctor or any other consulting professional could consult
clients/patients online. As another example, a professor could read read
regular lectures in a college classroom, but ad a mic and a cam and
broadcast the lecture live to remote students through the multi-user
interface. The remote students would in such case have virtually the same
level of interactivity as the ones in class. The same thing applies for
seminars or plain video conferences.

If you are interested in helping beta testing our services or want to just
take a look, visit  http://www.tradephoneline.com Tradephoneline.com 
register, take a look at the interfaces. If you have any questions post them
here, I will attempt to respond ASAP.

Lots of times I will be online and broadcasting. There is a high possibility
that I'll be online from 4:00 AM till 4:00 PM GMT-5, US Eastern time (NY),
but also (possibly) as early as 2:00 AM and as late as 7:00 PM.

It's in beta. Many features are not available, but will be implemented
shortly. Others are being developed or awaiting development. So check back
every once in a while to take a look at the features.

If you have any questions, feel free to post therm here, I will respond
ASAP.

I will post any new major developments in this thread.
