What is Swivl?
The Swivl Robot is an innovative video capture system that allows
teachers to record video of lessons, teaching materials for a flipped
classroom, and teacher or student observations.
You can also connect with remote students during hybrid and distance learning.
The robot tracks the teacher and captures the teacher’s voice during a live streaming session.
The teacher can hear remote students through a variety of audio setups.
