 In the initial phase, the Interactive Learning Toolkit will be integrated with BQ, forming a new software package called LT3 (Learning Together Through Technology).  At the moment, the

 ILT functionality is kept on a server and the Interactive Classroom component is running off a computer in the classroom. After initial tests, option (c) has been
 found to be the most optimal solution for a large classroom environment. In this solution, instructors continue to prepare the content for the class by browsing
 the CT data base and integrate CTs into a given lecture. The CTs are then uploaded to the computer running the Interactive Classroom portion of the LT3. After each
