CONNECTED CLASSROOM

A system for providing a collaborative teaching experience in a classroom environment having a defined layout, the system including: presenter interface circuitry; participant interface circuitry; and a controller coupled between the presenter interface circuitry and the participant interface circuitry, where the controller is configured to receive presentation mode inputs from, and control operation of, one or more input devices via the presenter interface circuitry, and where the controller is configured to direct media stream outputs to, and control operation of, one or more output devices via the participant interface circuitry, the controller having a plurality of presentation modes, each presentation mode defining an operating configuration for coordinated control of the one or more input devices and output devices, where the controller is operable to switch between a first presentation mode of the plurality of presentation modes and a second presentation mode of the plurality of presentation modes responsive to presentation mode inputs received via the presenter interface circuitry.
