Classroom observation software

I saw some interesting software called StudioCode while I was at the Congress yesterday (the one computer program in a room full of vendors selling boks - I thought I was in the 1980s). It bills itself as "video performance tagging software to assess training effectiveness and best practice competency." It's an elegant product, used by a number of NHL teams (and a wide variety of other clients) and though the price made me gasp I could see how something like this is a real step forward in assessment (and more importantly, improvement). I shared some memories of Roger Nielsen with Simon Reynolds, the booth-jockey. Anyhow, today along comes a post on classroom observation software. "The two are ecove and observe4success. Both require download of specialised software to assist with the archiving and analysis of classroom observations." Of course, the end-point for this sort of software is an algorithm that does the tagging automatically. But this sort of AI is as yet well beyond anyone's capability.
