German software company TeamViewer has launched TeamViewer Classroom, which enables interactive collaboration in schools and universities.
TeamViewer Classroom is the first fully GDPR-compliant system from a European global player that does not use third-party providers. This means that all data protection requirements of the Ministries of Education of the European countries can be met.
A special focus is put on functionalities that go beyond simple online meetings, such as the joint editing of uploaded documents, digital boards, separate rooms for group work as well as the possibility of real-time surveys within the learning groups. Through extensive moderation rights, teachers can guide interactions among participants and document the outcomes of meetings. In addition, teachers can store their documents online so that they can be used for other learning units at any time. A connection via plugin and open API to various other learning platforms, such as Moodle, is possible.
Classroom is developed by TeamViewer end-to-end in Europe and hosted and operated on its own servers in German data centres. It complies with all the regulations of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and places a special focus on accessibility.
The web-based software only requires users to have a common browser on their PC, laptop, tablet, or smartphone and therefore also works on older devices and independent of operating systems. In addition to providing and operating the software, TeamViewer also provides technical support.
