LectureLounge - experience education beyond the borders of the classroom

摘要

Capturing presentations (lectures, seminars, etc.) on video is on the brink of becoming a normal event in educational environments. However, a breakthrough has yet to occur. Why is this so? First, it seems that capturing purely video is not enough to capture the whole educational experience. Second, while equipment is relatively cheap, the amount and quality of manual work needed to operate capturing and publication systems is very high, and thus so are the costs: Third, systems that support the capturing process by including additional metadata tend to be intrusive on the presenter's way of working. We would like to introduce LectureLounge, a presentation capturing, management, and publication system that shows that it does not have to be this way.
