A multi-person synchronous remote virtual reality teaching system and a method thereof, wherein the teacher downloads a virtual reality teaching course files through a teaching information device first, then shares the virtual reality teaching course files with each student to their learning information device. In the way, the student can pre-download the virtual reality teaching course files at the same time. Through the teaching information device, teachers may realize the place where each student's current sight is focused. In addition, the various virtual reality scenes in the above-mentioned devices not only let teachers actively switch or work on for teaching purposes, but also let students browse or study with a certain degree of freedom. Also, multiple hyperlinks are provided in the virtual reality scene for students to click for easy learning.

An educational apparatus has a controller linked with student devices, and a teacher device. Each student device is in the form of a desk with a board, a touch sensor array in the board, a display physically separate from the array, and permanent indicia. The apparatus recognises touch by a student on the board, and this is mapped to content of an overlay sheet of paper placed on the board. Moreover, multiple devices may be juxtaposed, and events may be recognised based on all of the group of devices together. An example is a paper sheet covering four devices together and having a map printed on it, in which the software recognised a particular location of touch on a particular device as being a specific region on the map.

An on-line course system involves an On-Line Course Content Serving Web Server (OCCSWS). The OCCSWS serves, or otherwise enables the providing of, on-line course materials such as textual materials and/or a video to a large number of remotely located students. The students view the course materials and take part in the classes remotely via the internet. The OCCSWS performs volunteered user data collection, thereby obtaining for each student items of first classification information. The OCCSWS performs behavioral user data collection, thereby obtaining for each student items of second classification information. The items of first and second classification information are used to group the students into groups. The OCCSWS then communicates, to each student, an indication of the group to which the student has been assigned. The OCCSWS facilitates the students engaging in group activities, monitors the students, and if necessary prompts the students to perform certain group activity tasks.

Disclosed herein are system and method for generative assessment item development, encoding & analysis, wherein the generative assessment item includes a question and a plurality of possible responses to the question, the plurality of possible responses comprising at least two responses that are not independent, and wherein the plurality of responses are non-dichotomous.

An image associated with a poll may be acquired via a camera. One or more symbols indicating responses may be found by analyzing the image. The responses specified by the symbols may be determined and saved. The responses may also be displayed to the operator and/or to the respondents.
