Developed by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) at a cost of some $1.39 million, Engkey is a telepresence bot, controlled by teachers in the Philippines. It has two-way video and audio for interaction with students, and can move its arms around to make a point. The LED shows the teacher's face or an animated CG face.
No, they won't really replace teachers, but alternative teaching using new technology could allow individual student learning at their own pace, decreasing the need for the number or trained teachers.So your kids could learn at youtube's Khan academy, or start a curriculum taught by the best as shown in the program Jamie Oliver's Dream school...
