eSchool media has announced a webinar titled: Tegrity and the Flipped Classroom: Smarter use of Technology for Improving Learning.

The webinar is to address:
       What a flipped classroom should and should not look like
       How to develop implementation strategies
       Best practice to create content for the flipped classroom
      Tips for most efficient use of classroom time for the flipped classroom model


This is a joint vetur between Tegrity, a cloud based lecture capture solution, and McGraw Hill.   Tegrity has trade maked the acronym AAIRS.  I tried to find what it stands for.  I found Airport/Air carrier information reporting system.  This definition was not on their webpage.  Yet, This is the acronym for their user cloud based interface and storage method they private. I went to their web page
www.tegrity.com and watched their videos demonstrating the product.  The first thing I noticed is that it was quick.  It did not pause to download.  It did not begin playing until it was downloaded.  It did not have moving video.  It had still frames and sound.  The different tabs offer information for various levels of interest that include technicians, institutions, instructors, and students.

I did see were you can create an account for a free trial use.  I did not try it because I am going to save my opportunity for a later data, so I do not know how long a free trial will last.  The pricing tab states that price is determined by the number of students using it.  Tegrity seems to be targeting higher education.  I signed up for the webinar to get their development strategies.
