Testing and using "tiSb-Albania" (Transparent interactive screen-board) during COVID19

Abstract

Due to the coronavirus, almost all teachers around the world are teaching through the Internet from their homes, sitting in chairs, in most cases even without showing their faces to the students. Most of the students do not like this. They want the teacher to stand on his feet and to explain by pointing on his notes on the blackboard and making gestures with his hands according to the lesson, like they have historically done. Using the "tiSb-Albania" system, everyone can teach the right way. Moreover, you never turn your back to the students even when you write on the blackboard (which is transparent in this case) during the lecture. You will be, during the whole lecture, face to face with the students watching them in real time. This makes them more focused on the lesson despite the fact that they are following it from their homes. Learning in this form "shortens" the distance between the students and the teacher. "tiSb-Albania" is an implant where several hardware devices and software have been assembled, which serves for making and recording the lectures in real-time in a very special form. "tiSb-Albania" is the acronym for Transparent Interactive Screen-Board. The beginnings of this system were presented at the 10th e-Learning conference organized by IADIS in Madeira 2016 (Teneqexhi and Kuneshka, 2016). The system was presented with many new features at the 13th e-Learning conference organized by IADIS in Porto 2019 (Teneqexhi and Kuneshka, 2019), in which we announced that work was underway to build the prototype for ordinary users. The COVID19 created an appropriate ground for further experimentation and completion with other necessary features of the system for such situations. The use of "tiSb-Albania" during the pandemic period as well as other developments in Albanian schools and universities make us draw some conclusions and give some recommendations, we believe it is useful for achieving the teaching process in extraordinary situations, so why not implement it even for normal situations.
