Abstract:
The present disclosure generally relates to systems and methods for providing with real-time feedback from one user, referred to herein as an “advisor,” to another. In one exemplary embodiment, a real-time feedback system enables an advisor to remotely monitor an instructor, such as a school teacher, while the instructor is instructing attendees, such as attendees, in a classroom or other setting. While the advisor is monitoring the instructor, the advisor provides real-time feedback that is discreetly communicated to the instructor in an unobtrusive manner that does not significantly disturb the presentation or teaching environment. In this regard, the attendees are unable to hear or see the feedback and may even be unaware that the instructor is receiving feedback from an advisor during the presentation, although it is possible for the attendees to hear and/or see the feedback in other embodiments. The feedback provided to the instructor can be useful for assisting the instructor in various ways, including constructive criticism and suggestions for various teaching techniques.
