Immerge Technologies Releases Debut Product
OmniLab Removes the Challenges Present in the Electronic Classroom
Harrisonburg, VA November 1, 2005 - Immerge Technologies, Inc. has announced the release of their first product, OmniLab. OmniLab is an instructional tool that helps teachers conduct more productive classes by providing three types of features: observe, present, and communicate. Teachers can monitor student screens from his or her workstation or blank students' screens to capture student attention. With the click of a button, the teacher's screen can be broadcast to all of the student screens, providing an alternative for presentations, which is especially useful if the room is not equipped with a projector. Via a text-messaging system students can direct private questions to the teacher without the fear of embarrassment.
OmniLab was designed using the latest human-computer interaction research in computer science to provide teachers with an easy-to-use lab-monitoring solution. OmniLab empowers teachers to efficiently manage their students, resulting in more time for teaching and more student time on task.
"OmniLab is easy to use and install. We consulted with several local teachers during the design process and incorporated their feedback," says Joshua Blake, CEO of Immerge Technologies. "We are confident that all teachers will be able to learn OmniLab quicker and use it more than other similar programs. It is simple and only has the features that teachers actually need and use while in the classroom." The interface is intuitive and the program is self-teaching, which makes it an attractive option for both teachers and administrators. The program is priced to be affordable, which makes it an attractive option for the customer's budget.
OmniLab counters the challenges associated with using computer labs as a part of traditional education and was designed to better meet the needs of today's teachers. For further information, the company's website is available at http://www.ImmergeTech.com/OmniLab.
