Swivl – Your Own Robotic Cameraman

The Swivl is a robotic mount for an iPad, camera, or smartphone that comes with a remote control Marker. It is designed to track and, with the video capture abilities of the other device, record videos of a moving person. It was designed to capture presentations, lectures, and much more.

With Swivl, educators are empowered to better monitor their students, improve their lectures through self-reflection, and even provide homebound or remote students long-distance learning.

And what’s more – previously, if someone wanted to record and broadcast lectures and presentations that involved movement, a simple tripod wouldn’t work. To do this they would require a cameraman, microphone, and computer. The Swivl acts as both a cameraman and computer connection while the Marker’s audio system captures their voice. This takes the capabilities of a team with recording equipment and puts it in the hands of an individual.

But Swivl also has other uses. Here are a few of our favorites:

Remote Observation

With Swivl, teachers can keep track of student groups to see who’s doing what – and who’s learning as they should. No more guessing at which group member is pulling the weight. With Swivl, you can monitor and listen in on their progress to better provide support, or, if needed, discipline. Swivl lets you bypass the guesswork and get right to the seed of the issue.

Teacher Assessment

Often, when new teachers step into the classroom, they need a little bit of assistance to get their teaching strategies nailed down. With Swivl, the assessment process becomes a breeze. Both the new teacher and their administrators can easily record, view, and discuss what about their methods are effective, and what is ineffective. And, because the administrator doesn’t need to look in on the classroom live, everyone gets a clear, honest understanding of how the classroom operates.

Classroom Audio

When connected to a speaker, Swivl also gains the ability to project classroom audio. Using the included teacher microphone, instructors can easily fill the classroom with their voice, their computer screen, or any other source of audio.
