This incredibly inventive, and DIY, virtual classroom setup at the University of Miami might act as a template for similar schools.
In light of the coronavirus, distancing, and the remote classroom, all of us have been scrambling to not only finish a semester but now to embark on a hybrid virtual classroom setup. If we rest our laurels on the mainstream of AV technologies, the industrial solutions get very expensive.
