With StudyGroup, students see and interact with the learning materials presented on their PCs while listening and responding to the instructor and other students over a high-quality audio conferencing connection. StudyGroup is the only application that provides a truly-synchronized rich media presentation on every attendee's PC, regardless of his or her quality of Internet connection or the total number of users. The result is a uniquely immersive and effective learning environment.

The StudyGroup application technology, developed by SpotMagic, is time tested, robust and scaleable. It has been in use since mid-2000 in extremely demanding commercial broadcast applications. A few of its superior features for distance learning are:

• With the simple click of the mouse, StudyGroup takes instructors “live” to bring distant students into a class with analog and voip audio conferencing and synchronous media-rich interactive onscreen presentations.
  
• Instructors have total creative freedom to spontaneously bring any media resource into a live lecture; images, animations, video, web content, components from other lectures even guest lecturers from anywhere in the world.
  
• StudyGroup lets instructors capture lectures to create courseware in a naturally intuitive way – not by filling in forms or templates. Captured lectures can be used immediately for asynchronous access, incorporated into future classes, syndicated, or used as personal or student reference materials.

StudyGroup is the only application that provides a truly-synchronized rich media presentation on every attendee's PC, regardless of his or her speed of Internet connection or the total number of users on line.
