Ideals and Virtual Realities
This work addresses the need for reliable and simple tools in online education, particularly for traditional didactic methods, but it is incremental as it focuses on a specific application for video distribution.
The paper tackles the challenge of reproducing chalkboard classes for online education by developing OpenEyA-YT to accurately share Physics and Maths lectures on YouTube, expanding audience reach across continents to mitigate physical isolation effects.
A main step for world progress is to keep sharing ever-present Ideals for science and education within today Virtual Realities. On-line education is transforming human society to new levels in the way people teach and learn during the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. There is an increasing interest in having more and more reliable, fast and simple apps to communicate and also to record, assemble and distribute videos and lectures in the fields of Physics & Maths still using traditional didactic methods. We describe here how to accurately reproduce chalkboard classes for the popular YouTube video platform using OpenEyA-YT. The audience can thus be expanded over continents to help mitigate the effects of physical isolation.
