Abstract
A system and method for generating and presenting a lesson plan comprising audiovisual materials to a classroom. The system enables the automatic connection of audiovisual output signals from one or more audiovisual resources to classroom monitors in accordance with a predetermined sequence called a 'lesson plan.' The lesson plan includes labels for identifying selected ones of the audiovisual resources, and control commands for controlling the selected audiovisual resources. At a scheduled date and time, the lesson plan is loaded into the system and processed to automatically connect the output signals from selected audiovisual resources to specified monitors, and also to control the playback of the resources. The system also includes a software program for generating the lesson plan and saving it for a future presentation. To assist with the generation and presentation, a database of available materials and a scheduling program are also provided.
