Paper Abstract:
|
Modern information technologies are transforming the way people learn.
E-learning provides new possibilities for personalized learning at home or in the workplace, reduces the need for costly classroom training, and enables an optimal balance between traditional and innovative forms of knowledge transfer. But facts have proven that content creation for online courses is time-consuming and costly. Also most of them are not easy to call up. A simple and efficient solution of content creation for online courses is strongly required. Our new system, tele-TASK [1]- Teleteaching Anywhere Solution Kit, paves the way for these requirements. With the help of the new developed system tele-TASK a new, drastically simplified entrance technology for on-line lectures has been reached. Not only contents of teaching, which are presented to the students in the lecture-room by either a whiteboard or a video beamer are delivered but also video and audio of the lecturer. For
tele-TASK a special hardware
(T-Cube) is now available, which permits the creation of Real or Mpeg4 streams in different bandwidth ranges on the fly. Thus a
pre-installed standard player can be used. |
