CONTENT
TV
Classroom tv is a social and educational
platform that helps institutions to improve
and expand their online instruction.
At Classroom tv, we strongly believe in a world where education
can be delivered to millions in a personalized manner, since we are
all unique individuals with various interests, skills, and a desire to
learn at our own pace and time. We are working hard to develop the
technology that will deliver scalable and personalized high-quality
education to our audience.
We work hand-in-hand with academic and corporate institutions,
guiding them throughout the process of defining what type of content
would suit best for their needs.
OUR VISIONABOUT CLASSROOM TV

Easy creation and organization of knowledgeWith our technology, institutions can easily orga-
nize their content and guide their users effectively
throughout the learning process. We have designed
tools for institution administrators to structure con-
tent from simple video concepts to more complete
video lectures synchronized with slides and full-
digital learning maps.
Social interaction among peersWe understand that it is important for students
to collaborate with his or her peers. Classroom tv
facilitates the communication among students so
that they can interact, cooperate, or simply connect
with other peers who share similar interests.
Continuous and instant feedbackWe provide a powerful assessment tool,
where instructors can create traditional multiple-
choice tests and dynamic adaptive tests,
providing instant and continuous feedback to
the student. Institutions can also have access to
a robust analytics tool for instructors to inspect
multiple statistics about usage, participation and
performance.
OUR CORNERSTONESABOUT CLASSROOM TV
We help institutions create and organize educational
content to produce a user-friendly, social and
personalized learning experience. We will not only provide
them with the technology, but also our team’s experience
to support the successful execution of their projects.

The central element in every class at Classroom tv is
a video-lecture.
InstitutionThe “institution” is the landing page that is assigned to every institution within
Classroom tv. Each institution can manage its landing page and
organize educational content that can be discovered by other users
(e.g.: www.classroomtv.com/stanford)
DegreesThe degree is a collection of courses that represents an area of study. Each
degree is associated to a specific institution and can contain multiple courses.
CoursesWithin each degree, an administrator can add courses. Each course can be
structured into a collection of classes and tests.
ClassesEach class is associated to a specific course, consisting of a video lectures and
metadata associated to the class. Such metadata includes video concepts,
presentations, tests, complementary material that can be easily downloaded.
OVERALL STRUCTUREPLATFORM
Our Synchromanager also makes it really easy for an admin to synchronize different slides to
different time-points in a video. Similarly, admins can easily create and sync in-video quizzes,
embedded within a video-lecture.

OUR CLIENTSWHY CLASSROOM TV?
Alejandra ÁvilaUNIVERSIDAD DE CHILE
Classroom tv has broken the barriers that our school previously
had to massify the delivery of our courses to every student
interested on learned about our courses
Martín ChuaquiUNIVERSIDAD CATÓLICA
Today, a student who attends an offline class understands
on average half of the material. To be able to have access to
an online course gives them a chance to review concepts that
were hard to understand or to gain training solving practical
problems. Eventually, instructors can adapt their teaching in
response to the data given by Classroom tv.

SERVICES AND ASSOCIATED COSTSSPECS
Free serviceInstitutions can organize classes into courses and degrees, create test, and engage
users to interact with each other and benefit from most of the platform’s attributes.
Institutional administrators have access to analytics about the usage of the platform
(popu-larity of different classes, statistics about the test-solving performance of
users, etc).
The main difference between between the free service and the premium service is
that the content (classes, courses, etc) are openly accessible by everyone.
Institutional administrators can upload up to one hour of content to the platform for
free. The video content is not only stored in our cloud infrastructure but we also
perform automated transcoding and cover the associated (bandwidth) cost of delive-
ring the content.
Premium serviceInstitutions can deliver courses with restricted-access to a selected number of users.
Institutions can also gain access to a more detailed report about the performance
of each student. The pricing model is based on a monthly fee per user and this fee
starts decreasing as the total number of users purchased goes beyond 500 users.
Additionally, we charge a monthly fee for the video content uploaded to our servers
(fee per hour of video-content). This fee also includes a video transcoding service
delivered as soon as the video-content has been uploaded.
