Importance of this software can be understood from the fact the
Ministry of Electronics, Govt of India, has put a contest for software
development with similar features and has announced an award of One crore
rupees and a budget of about Rs 2.4 crore is allocated for this.
Life has come to standstill due to Coronavirus. Everyone is in
Circuit breaker or lockdown position in most of the world. Be it the students
in a school or employees in offices, everyone is stuck at home. While it
is important to be in lockdown, but still many parts of life still need to
remain connected.
GuruVw helps the teachers to connect to students for a class or
online sessions. Meetings can be of unlimited duration and with an unlimited
number of users.
It has a polling system to engage students to see their
responses. It also has the ability to zoom, highlight, draw and write on
presentations making your point clearer to remote students. It can record your
lectures, which they can see later or review as per needs.
GuruVw has a feature of breakout rooms, where one class can be
split into different groups to assign different projects. Students can
painlessly discuss and view with not just audio and webcam, but with documents
and videos allowing virtual markers to be used on the documents. These virtual
markers can be given to students during the class. When using the virtual
marker tool, annotations are automatically displayed back to the students in
real-time.
Students get the “Fun Factor” also by being engaged through
sharing of emoji icons, whispering or passing notes to other students, cross
presentations and voicing out during the lessons as though they were in the
class itself. Students can also be given the opportunity to present their
discussions to the class painlessly and show their worksheets to
facilitate the session like a real class.
GuruVw can also help with companies, associations, management
committee to conduct meetings or Annual General Meetings (AGM) to stream,
discuss and vote from home or any other support or discussions. One of the
important actions to be used in this is a polling facility where members can
vote by poll remotely to approve and reject a motion.
GuruVw.com can be effectively used as a counselling tool also as
many people may get mentally sick or under depression due to isolation or
confinement in homes, which they have never been in life. Staying 24 hours in
home for weeks may cause many mental issues with people. GuruVw can be
effectively used by counsellors and psychologists.
GuruVw can also be used effectively by health practitioners to
save lives by giving tele consultations or advice for the wellbeing of the
public. It will mitigate fear from doctors as well as patients, who may be
carriers of the virus unknowingly. Users can connect and login using a simple
link which is accessible on any platform.
Why was this even created, when there are few products already? “Imagine
explaining linear equations, geometrical constructions or even how to write a
language to students. It is currently not easy. Teachers end up creating
complex powerpoint presentations, which take a lot of time to create and when
there is a slight change in the equation they may not be able to show that. Our
solution allows the lesson to stay fluid and interactive by letting the
teachers and students draw, talk, stream and discuss the problems seamlessly,” said
Vikas Gupta.
GuruVw meetings are running on secure servers, using popular
security protocols like TLS, HTTPS, Checksum, secret keys, SRTP and DTLS. It
has a password system also, which is unique for each meeting. Beside that
various permissions like sharing file/ screen/ video user can be allowed/ rejected
to avoid misuse/ abuse. Moderators can be appointed to overlook meetings like
class monitors. Only pre allowed or known guests can be allowed.
