Choice and Flexibility
- Choose between a mobile system, a fixed system or a budget fixed system with no dibba control
- Each system will enable teacher view, pupil view or both
- Mobile unit can be wall, stand or table mounted
- Have a single room system or a completely integrated full school system
Designed around the teacher
- Teachers have complete control over the system by the use of the dibba, the hand-held smart device
- The dibba enables teachers to decide whether or not to film and archive their lesson
- Once recorded, the lessons are then automatically archived in the respective teacher's password protected section of Lesson Land
- From Lesson Land teachers are able to easily review, tag, archive, edit, share and publish their lessons
- Star Lesson requires no technical knowledge to use, lessons are filmed and archived by simply swiping their dibba past the dibba reader
Powerful observation software
- Star Lesson's patented tagging software and hardware enables teachers and observers to tag video (live or pre-recorded) in accordance with either Ofsted or the TDA Standards criteria
- Lessons can be easily exported onto any learning platform
- Once tagged, lessons can be easily reviewed by enabling users to fast forward instantly to the tagged sections
- Focus points can be set-up on screen allowing users to look at a number of groups at the same time when watching the lesson live or pre-recorded
- Lesson Land's archive of lessons lends itself well to benchmarking, and facilitates the ability for ITT, NQTs and experienced teachers to take control of their own CPD
High resolution picture quality
- High resolution IP cameras produce exceptionally clear picture quality
- Powerful Star Lesson processors provide real-time video (30 frames per second) with lip-synched audio
High fidelity audio
- Each system has multiple audio channels and numerous fixed and wireless microphones which results in teacher and pupil dialogue being clearly audible when listening live or watching a pre-recorded lesson
- A mobile table-top microphone system is integrated to enable group discussions to be captured
- The comprehensive audio pack means that perfect audio is recorded no matter what shape or size the classroom is.
Easy publication of lessons onto learning platforms
- Once a lesson has been archived in Lesson Land teachers are able to, with the simple click of their mouse, publish their lessons onto any web based platform (VLE, school website, school intranet, etc)
- Star Lesson's software automatically converts into windows media player format to facilitate the publishing process
Cost
- Star Lesson permanently strives to keep the cost of its solutions as low as is possible within a commercial environment
- Schools can either capital purchase or choose our Future Proof Plan which allows for a quarterly lease to be paid and for the incumbent system to be replaced with the latest version every year and a half
