Adding extra resources helps educators to serve teaching in better ways. Since students should have an authority and ownership over their learning, a balance of students’ ownership and educators’ guidelines must be there.

Get a feel of the platform from the video below:
RooClick technology allows educators to provide content within a video by creating clickable events, or hotspots, within the video itself. These events can provide additional information within the video, or take the student to a website that offers additional information, or actually embed teacher produced quizzes within videos to test students’ comprehension of the material presented. This provides another method for connecting with students, and has the added benefit of being able to track a student’s activity within the video. There is access to a library of videos on a variety of subjects, or you may create your own content within videos – and optionally share that content with other educators.
