    Poster SessionsIn this paper, we describe WebVideo, a library of simple tools for video browsing and viewing. The library offers a solid basis for developing web applications to view and browse video sequences and slide sets, as well as for distributing videos and images from real-time video sources. Since video transmission is based on a de-facto standard technology, the server-push method, remote users do not need any specific hardware or software in addition to a web browser. The tools offer an adequate support for applications where image quality and simplicity of use are more important than high frame rates and perfect audio synchronization. WebVideo is available in the public domain and has been used for over one year in applications such as distance learning, slides presentations, and Internet TV broadcasting.1997-04Santa Clara, CA, USASixth International World Wide Web Conferenc

    Real-time Communication Using WebRTC

    This paper introduces a new Real-time Communication technology. Some of the technology’s applications could be in the education field, but are not limited only to education. The technology could be used with any system need, video and audio conferencing, such as medical uses or even online gaming. WebRTC is a free and open source project that provides web browsers and mobile applications with real-time communication (RTC) via a simple application programming interface (API). It allows video, audio and data to work inside a web page by allowing a direct peer to peer communication between two browsers, eliminating the need for a server or browser plugins or downloading a native application. The WebRTC project is supported by Google, Microsoft, Mozilla and Opera, and it is being standardized through the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF).

    Using multimedia to enhance the accessibility of the learning environment for disabled students: reflections from the Skills for Access project

    Get PDF
    As educators' awareness of their responsibilities towards ensuring the accessibility of the learning environment to disabled students increases, significant debate surrounds the implications of accessibility requirements on educational multimedia. There would appear to be widespread concern that the fundamental principles of creating accessible web‐based materials seem at odds with the creative and innovative use of multimedia to support learning and teaching, as well as concerns over the time and cost of providing accessibility features that can hold back resource development and application. Yet, effective use of multimedia offers a way of enhancing the accessibility of the learning environment for many groups of disabled students. Using the development of ‘Skills for Access’, a web resource supporting the dual aims of creating optimally accessible multimedia for learning, as an example, the attitudinal, practical and technical challenges facing the effective use of multimedia as an accessibility aid in a learning environment will be explored. Reasons why a holistic approach to accessibility may be the most effective in ensuring that multimedia reaches its full potential in enabling and supporting students in learning, regardless of any disability they may have, will be outlined and discussed
