************************************************************
Presenter: William Garrison (University of Portsmouth)
Streaming media is a powerful collection of technologies that are likely to
have a profound effect on learning in higher and further education. These
technologies are simple to use, reliable, and provide new opportunities to
improve learning outcomes. This course introduces one of these
technologies, Windows Media, and examines the skills and facilities
necessary to deliver video streams to large numbers of students.
The course will cover server design and networking issues as well as content
preparation, encoding, and rights management. The day will be divided
into two parts with the first focusing on technology, implementation, and
overcoming barriers both technical and political within educational
institutions. The second part will explore content development including
encoding, bandwidth, and image quality in the context of learning
objectives.
William Garrison is Producer at the Learning Development Centre,
University of Portsmouth, and has been responsible for the development of
extensive streaming media resources for thousands of simultaneous users.
This includes the technical implementation for the JISC funded <Lifesign
Project> which is now online with over forty video streams for the Life
Sciences. Streams can be viewed at http://www.lifesign.ac.uk.
