A method and system for interactive case and video-based teacher training is
provided.
The invention includes a server portion 200 and a client portion 202.
A media database 100, a video assignment or video assessment database 102,
an administration database 104, and a user database 106 interact
with a computer system 108 and with a lesson-builder program 114 and
a lesson viewer program 116 in order to allow for the development of time-indexed
video case-centric lessons and courses, which are stored in a lesson database 110.
The computer system 108 communicates with a plurality of client computers
206 via a browser program 208, allowing teacher-users or general
users to interact with the lesson-builder program 114 and the lesson viewer
program 116 for the creation and use of lessons. The lessons generated and
used in the present invention are video-centric, and the present invention provides
for the use of time-coded or time-indexed references to relevant portions of the video.
