Immersive Virtual Classroom in Synchronous Remote Learning
Immersive virtual classroom (IVC) is a streaming platform that incorporates an augmented reality component into the materials used in synchronous learning and allows the production of engaging audiovisual educational resources as instructional videos. It requires no post-production time and was developed during the COVID-19 pandemic at the University of Cauca. IVC performs a live composition of audiovisual material (type slides) with video of the instructor, allowing an online interaction between the instructor and their slides while the interlocutors watch in a live transmission in full HD quality (1920 × 1080 pixels) and interact with the instructor via audio using a conventional videoconferencing platform.
