Dr. Tibor Gyires, a professor at Illinois State University, is conducting his usual course for the Spring Semester 2007.  However, he is doing things a bit differently this time. Utilizing the inSORS Grid software, Dr. Gyires is testing the feasability of delivering his course to remote students rather than have them all attending in person. 

 

Dr. Gyires has integrated inSORS software in his networking courses for several semesters, but this is his first attempt at using the inSORS software for lectures. Dr. Gyires also plans to utilize the IG Recorder feature to record his lectures so students can review throughout the semester.

 

A more detailed report including analysis of student evaluations will be forthcoming in the next few weeks after interviews are conducted.
