e/pop Web & Video Conferencing
Powers the World’s First Learning Exchange
TutorEasy is the world’s first educational
marketplace where any individual or organization can
teach or learn any subject – live and online – using
WiredRed’s state-of-the-art web and video conferencing
technology that allows users to speak and see each
other, as well as share, create and edit documents in
real-time.
e/pop Web Conferencing provides TutorEasy with the
ability to conduct fully interactive sessions that
include multi-party video, VoIP, plus complete desktop
sharing with remote control, application/document and
dynamic presentation sharing. e/pop is compatible with
most web cameras and can be accessed via leading web
browsers and on standard Internet connections.
TutorEasy designed its web site to allow users to speak
with each other, see each other and share/create/change
documents together in real-time. The site offers a
plethora of lectures, from Chinese to Welsh, Psychology
to Russian Politics. “TutorEasy provides access to the
best tutors, wherever you are, at a time that is best
suited and tailored for your exact needs,” explained
Edward Brooks, CEO of TutorEasy. “It is the perfect tool
for anyone, whatever their education background, to
further their skills whether for business or leisure.”
“When we formed the web site we originally used
Microsoft NetMeeting, although we soon found that it was
not reliable enough and wasn’t able to work behind
firewalls,” said Brooks. “We wanted to give our users a
platform on which they could teach and learn, with
minimal training and no requirement for local technology
investment,” comments Brooks. “Through WiredRed’s e/pop
this has easily been achieved.”
Brooks discovered WiredRed’s e/pop software, which
enables users to conduct online meetings via web
conferencing. From their individual PCs, users of e/pop
can utilize built-in VoIP to communicate and
simultaneously share video, applications, documents and
web browsers in real-time. This was imperative to
TutorEasy’s business model.
Now, tutors can register on the site for $10, instantly
giving them an innovative way to expand their customer
base and earnings, without the need for traveling.
Tutors can teach as many subjects, and list as many
tutorials as they wish, and can set their own prices.
Students can then drop into the site at any time to see
what teaching is taking place. After clicking on the “Go
To Live Space” button they will be taken through a very
short, firewall-friendly, set up process, then into the
live training area to see what subjects are currently
available and a timetable of upcoming lectures.
“Through implementing e/pop, we have managed to create a
market and offer a service that would not have been
possible 12 months ago,” says Brooks. “We provide a safe
and secure environment for learning and can also save
students, their parents and tutors significant travel
time and costs. In addition, we have provided tutors
with a forum on which they can gain revenue from their
much sought after expertise.”
