Abstract

The usage of SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) format as a solution for delivering e-learning content is proposed. Distributed multi-user Web application for indexing SMIL presentations is described. Presentations, located on remote servers, are fetched using different protocols, analysed according to their temporal characteristics and indexed using the full-text search method. To offer students only the desired set of knowledge in a specific course, content can be grouped in different personalised search boxes. Such search boxes are easily placed on any course Web page and communicate with the search engine through client-side technologies only, thus eliminating the need to tweak learning systems and use the server-side programming.

Abstract

In today's world of education, new methods and services are appearing every day. This paper proposes the usage of educational material ‘mashup’, created in SMIL (Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language) format. A multi-user Web application for indexing and sharing SMIL presentations is described. Presentations, located on remote servers, are fetched using different protocols, analyzed and indexed using a full-text search method. Each result gives not only ‘the place’ but also ‘the time’ of spoken word or phrase in the course. Afterwards, the lectures can be grouped based on their content, shared and combined together into personalized Search boxes for specific courses. The placement of Search boxes on any course Web page or LMS is done by client-side technologies, which eliminates tweaking of learning systems and usage of server-side programming. An example of usage at the University of Zagreb, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing is described, together with the research results obtained. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
