SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTERACTIVE, REAL-TIME TABLET-BASED TUTORING

摘要

A peer-to-peer tutoring system is provided for use between touch screen portable electronic devices. The system provides a dynamic, real-time interactive session between a tutor and a student using a virtual whiteboard, real-time messaging and voice communications. The system also provides a full capture and review of sessions for future review by students and parents. The portable electronic devices exchange data in near real-time via a connection with a central server that acts as both an exchange mechanism to push, pull and manage session data, both current and historical. A tutor selection application allows students and parents to review tutors, review and create tutor ratings and create and manage appointments with tutors.
