Market Feasability for "The Channel" technology (by Teachmania)

Teachmania是一家位于剑桥的初创公司。我们的想法是为有效收集基于互联网的教育资源（ERs）创建一个自动过程，对应于学习计划中的某个部分并支持特定的学习目标。我们称这个过程为“通道”。该频道将体现智能搜索和解析技术，并将具有巨大的适用性，特别是随着教育市场越来越多地利用计算机和互联网。例如，它可以集成到虚拟学习环境中，虚拟学习环境是用作虚拟学习室（VLEs）的计算机应用程序。在VLEs中，它可以作为一种快速有效的方式，让教师找到最相关的er（教育资源）来准备他们的课程，或者帮助学生找到额外的练习或背景，以提高他们在课堂上的成功。

Teachmania is a start-up located in Cambridge. Our idea is to create an automatic process forthe effective collection of Internet based Educational Resources (ERs), corresponding to acertain section in a study program and supporting certain learning objectives. We call thisprocess “the Channel”. The Channel will embody intelligent search and parsing technologyand will have huge applicability, especially as the education market moves into increasedutilization of computers and the Internet. For example, it could be integrated in VirtualLearning Environments, which are computer applications used as a virtual study rooms(VLEs). In VLEs, it could serve as a quick and efficient way for teachers to find the mostrelevant ERs (Educational Resources) to prepare their lessons, or help students find additionalexercises or background to improve their success in class.
