A transcription and summarization tool for hybrid classes.
The raging pandemic has taught us that the Indian classrooms need a desperate shift in their perspectives of how information and knowledge are relayed to the students. It has brought on the implementation of a hybrid system of education where some of the students attend live classes while others do the same online. We require some solution that promotes concentration and participation in the classroom along with a platform for automatic note taking.
Our solution caters to the problem of Future of learning - Hybrid Education (the second one out of the given problem statements).
Upon taking the problems listed above into consideration, we plan to solve them using our platform and make it easier for students to take notes. As soon as a class begins, the recording will start automatically through the chrome extension. After this step, text extraction will be done using symbl.ai. It will also simultaneously extract/recognize deadlines and questions from the transcript and prepare a final presentable pdf document. This will be uploaded onto the AWS cloud server and any student that logs into that specific institute cloud can access the required notes for his/her educational purposes.
Students aren’t often able to participate in the class as they are busy with note taking. Transcription of the class removes the need for writing notes during the class. This would help students focus more in the class and also participate more in the class activities and discussions. It promotes collaborative learning.
Generally, hybrid classes are recorded by the platform on which the class is held. However, during hybrid classes, if the instructor moves around the class like how they are used to during the live offline mode, the people attending the classes online often get no or very low audio in the video recording. Transcription ensures that everyone in the class has access to the same notes and same content and nobody misses out on anything.
Also, what we have observed is that instructors often do not wish to video record their classes because students tend to bunk classes and watch said recordings later. The method of transcription ‘technically’ records the class while making the students participate in the class discussions.
