BlueJeans has launched a bundle of remote learning functionality for education customers.

The BlueJeans Remote Learning features lets teachers build “custom teaching experiences” within the BlueJeans platform.

Features include breakout sessions, intelligent highlights, whiteboards and floating chat windows.

Amy Jefferson, Head of Americas Revenue and Growth, BlueJeans by Verizon, said: “Teachers are telling us they’re lost, and they’re struggling to keep students engaged in today’s live virtual setting.

“Having to spend time playing administrator and technical support expert is minimizing their ability to think through compelling, interactive ways to deliver the curriculum virtually.

“By bringing together our comprehensive education, collaboration and training features into one consolidated experience, we’re making it easy for teachers to operationalize their learning environment so they can go back to focusing on what matters most—educating students.”

Users can activate the features by turning on the Teach Dashboard within BlueJeans.

The full list of features highlighted by BlueJeans can be found below:

  • Customizable Layouts: See your entire classroom in one view along with all the tools needed to effectively run and manage your session
  • Flexible Views: View the entire class in gallery view or the way you like. Sort the video layout on participation level, alphabetical or in priority of raised hand first
  • Student Rosters: Know your audience. Keep track of who is joining the session and who is in the waiting room (if activated)
  • Floating Chats: Never miss a beat or simply multi-task with the new floating chat wizard. Continue messaging while sharing content, whiteboarding or annotating
  • Teaching Apps: Elevate the effectiveness of remote learning sessions with quick access to all the essential teaching applications, such as Collab Board, Breakout Sessions, Polling/Q&A and Smart Meeting highlights

The learning features are the latest in a run of recent announcements from BlueJeans.

The firm recently announced the launch of its virtual office, alongside upcoming compatibility with Google Glass.
