Paper Abstract:	Virtual & Real Face to Face teaching (Teneqexhi, & Kuneshka, 2016) infrastructure, presented in 10Th international conference of e-learning organized by IADIS, Madeira 2016, is improved now very much. We have baptized this new infrastructure “transparent interactive Screen-board (tiSb-Albania). Transparent interactive Screen-board is now easy implementable in traditional classrooms. The new feature of ex Screen-board is the interactivity. The interaction is done by using e-beam edge tool which comes with very interesting software for organizing lecture materials. We use e-beam tool in a very special way making lessons much more interesting. The teacher never shows his back to the students because the transparent board is between him and the students. We can write on Screen-board with normal markers (and erase by eraser) or with electronic ones (and erase electronically). Using our system it is possible to add new notes on board images (written by normal markers) even if they are already erased with the eraser. Thanks to e-beam software1 it is not necessary for the students to kip notes. Everything written by the teacher on the screen-board or showed in prepared slides are automatically saved in student’s smart phone. So student can have forever “in his/her pocket” all the lectures in video form (stored in YouTube or somewhere else) and notes in slides form. The lessons organized with tiSb-Albania which are recorded can be transmitted live stream on the internet. So the number of students is not limited by the size of the classroom. Every student can follow live lessons being in the classroom or from home having the possibility to ask question and write on the screen-board if the teacher “gives” him the “chalk” to write on the screen-board. This is the idea of a “Mix Classroom”. So mix classroom is a combination between traditional face to face teaching and e-learning. We have successfully experimented this kind of classroom teaching “Basic Circuit Theory” subject in Polytechnic University of Tirana. We also have experimented doing video based on real lecture’s notices without using video camera. Every teacher can do it using nowadays smart phones. For the near future Polytechnic University of Tirana is planning to have common classes with Pristina University in Kosovo. In this way twin classes in different universities can have common lessons (even exams) in the same time with the same teacher. Virtual classroom of Google platform2 is perfect for organizing mix classrooms. Among other teaching materials for students used during lectures, we upload all recorded lessons in Google platform and every student can see real recorded lessons whenever he wants.
