CONNECTING PEOPLE WHO WANT TO LEARN WITH PEOPLE WHO TEACH, GLOBALLY

I believe that TeachStreet can enhance the quality of its services by making use "Live" Communicator's cutting edge technology.  "Live" Communicator provides communication solutions to business leaders, educational institutions and entrepreneurs. The already established software is licensable for individual purposes and allows synchronous voice communication and live video streaming through the Internet, as long as essential collaborative tools.  Making use of this technology will allow TeachStreet to maintain its current services, but enhance them by increasing interaction between students and instructors.  Furthermore, with this technology, TeachStreet can open its services to a worldwide market, connecting learners and teachers across the globe. 

"Live" Communicator features:
  • Full duplex voice communication (VoIP)
  • Peer to Peer synchronous video communication (VVIP) 
  • Instant text messaging
  • Fast file sharing capability
  • Whiteboard and PowerPoint interfaces

Benefits of adding a live communication tool on TeachStreet:
  • Instructors can market and offer their courses to individuals around the world.
  • Instructors can keep contact with students outside of schedule class time.
  • Students have better opportunities at finding the exact course and exact type of instructor they were looking for.
  • Students can benefit of increased interaction with their instructors with no time spent on commuting.
