Description: Educators and students typically see improved results when they apply deep learning rather than the repetition of memorized concepts.  Students are more satisfied when they engage in the learning process, are challenged at a higher level, and are prepared for the competitive marketplace. Active learning at a distance and in an asynchronous environment is a reality with YouSeeU™ Student Capture. In YouSeeU™, educators engage students in a safe and secure, feedback-rich digital environment that facilitates skills acquisition and effective learning. With streamlined tasks and workflows, dynamic video interactions among educators and students are not only posted, but critiqued with synchronized comments and time stamps.  A patent is pending on YouSeeU™.
