  1. Video SCORM International Plugfest II January 16 – 19, 2006 Timothy K. Shih, Professor Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering Tamkang University tshih@cs.tku.edu.tw http://www.mine.tku.edu.tw/chinese/teacher/tshih.htm A Partner of the Academic ADL Co-Lab

  2. Ubiquitous e-Learning

  3. PDAs Phones Digital TV and Set-top Box Hyper Pen and Book PCs Ubiquitous e-Learning Devices

  4. The Hard SCORM Authoring Tool • Automatic Generation of Hard SCORM Tags • Print Hardcopy Textbooks • Tags Are Recognized by Hyper Pens which is Connected to LMS

  5. Design Issues • Authoring Hard SCORM Tags • The Metadata Wizard(New) • Searching on Repository • Pre-fetching of Learning Objects (New, for Pocket SCORM) • Automatic Sequencing Testing (Mew) • Video Presentation and Flash Playback • Video SCORM (New)

  6. Presentation Recording • Select PowerPoint file • Adjust Camera • Select Style File • Start Recording • Authoring Metadata • Delivery

  7. Presentation Editing and Processing • Add/Delete Slides • Combine Presentations • Adding Slides and Flash Objects

  8. The Metadata Wizard • Metadata is useful for object reuse • Time consuming to fill in metadata • Background of Users • Need tools to help the user • A user profile is filled only once • Interactive questions may or may not be asked by the authoring tool • Deduction rules can be designed by professionals and customized to individual needs • The author makes a final confirmation of metadata

  9. Learning Content Management System Authoring Tool Metadata Editor User Profile Question Agent Metadata Wizard Deduction Engine Deduction Rules Environment and Platform Information System Architecture of the Wizard

  10. Implementation of the Wizard • Users make a final confirmation to use the generated metadata

  11. Sequencing Testing • Sequencing Control Modes • Choice, Choice Exit, Flow, Forward Only • Problems • “Unreachable” Clusters • “Sink” Clusters • Solution • Automatic Sequencing Testing • Integrated with the Hard SCORM Authoring Tool

  12. Activity Tree – with Problem Choice = true Choice Exit = true Flow = false Forward Only = false Choice = true Choice Exit = true Flow = false Forward Only = false Choice = true Choice Exit = true Flow = false Forward Only = false Choice = true Choice Exit = true Flow = false Forward Only = false Choice = true Choice Exit = true Flow = false Forward Only = false Unreachable Sink

  13. Summary • Only works for the 4 Basic Control Modes • Extend for conditions and rollup rules (and others) • Automatic Testing • When to trigger the testing? • Convenience – User Friendly • How to fix the bug? • Proper suggestions by the system • Metrics of Sequencing and Navigation is an open issue

  14. URL References • The Authoring Tool is available at • http://member.mine.tku.edu.tw/www/fatty/MINE/Hard%20SCORM%20Authoring%20Tool%20v%201.0.rar • http://www.mine.tku.edu.tw/scorm (video demos) • Need .net framework 1.1 • Automatic installation • User’s manual

  15. Reading by Using Hyper Pen • Using Hyper Pen as Input Device • Reading on HardcopyTextbooks • Using Audio Messages for Navigation Control • Using Multimedia Clips as References

  16. Reading on PCs • Integrated with Pocket SCORM Reader • Consistent Learner Records on PC, PDA, Smart Phone, and Hyper Pen

  17. Reading on PDAs and Smart Phones • Running on PDAs • Dopod 700, HP iPAQ 5550, and AnexTEK SP230 • Running on Cellular Phones • Dopod 565 and Mio8390 Dopod 565 Mio 8390 Dopod 700 HP iPAQ 5550 AnexTEK SP230

  18. Caching on Mobile Devices • SCORM LMSs with Mobile Devices • Pocket PC • Smart phone • Limitation of Storage • Divide a Course into Several Parts (Clusters) • Preserve the Features of Sequencing • Caching Strategies • Download Order • Replacement Order

  19. Reference URLs • Demonstration by Trans Asia Airline • Pocket SCORM: the 2005 Brandon Hall Excellence in Learning Awards, Innovative Technology • http://www.elearn.org.tw/PocketSCORM/ • Other Demonstrations • http://www.mine.tku.edu.tw/scorm • Implementing the SCORM Forum

  20. Stage TKU Entrance Plug N Play • Tuesday, January 17 1:00PM – 6:00PM • Wednesday, January 18 10:00AM – 6:00PM • Thursday, January 19 9:00AM – 11:00AM

  21. Interactive Video • Hyper Video • Interactive Lecture • Video Annotation • Picture • Text • WWW • Interactive Player • Interactive Video Authoring Tool • Annotate MPEG-2 User Defined Data

  22. Video Decomposition • User Interaction (i.e., hyper jump) • User Annotation (i.e., picture, text, URL, etc.) End point Start point Sequence start point Sequence end point Picture Annotation Text Annotation

  23. Interactive Video Authoring Tool Video Editing Window Story Board Editing Functions Annotation Video Sequences

  24. Interactive Video Player Web Reference Annotation Tag Hyper Jump Tag Video Playback and Hyper Tags Annotation and Reference Web Control Panel Video Control Panel

  25. Demo of Interactive Video Video Clip Available at http://www.mine.tku.edu.tw/SCORM/

  26. Interactive Video Using Gesture and Remote Control

  27. The Video SCORM Project • How about SCORM on TV? • How about interactivity? • How about standard? • The DVB Multimedia Home Platform (MHP) • Defined by the DVB consortium • Adopted in many countries • Italy, Germany, Finland, Singapore, S. Korea, Australia and others • Included in the US OpenCable & ACAP standards • Can we combine MHP with SCORM?

  28. What is MHP • A Platform Definition • A Set of Java APIs • A Set of HTML Document Type Definitions • An Extension to Existing Open Standards DVB, MPEG, JavaTV • MHP 1.0.x (1.0.0 – 1.0.3) • The original MHP specification plus updates • The most commonly deployed version of MHP • MHP 1.1.x • HTML Support, Stored Applications, Internet Client APIs, Smart Card APIs

  29. The Video SCORM Authoring Tool • Integrated with the Hard SCORM Authoring Tool Content Aggregation Web Tag Properties Video Tag

  30. The Video SCORM Authoring Tool • A video SCORM component is an SCO • Divides scenes into video stream files • Allow users to add metadata and sequence rules • However, sequence rules among scenes is our future work Scene Actor for video jump Web link

  31. The Video SCORM Run-time • Integrated with the Hard SCORM LMS (Web-based) • Download video SCORM components from server Video Scene Web Content Video Control

  32. Interactive Digital TV • Traditional Cable TV • Interactive TV (Video): interactivity between the users and broadcasting program, could be PC-based • Set-top Box and Digital TV • Limited computation power • Limited input device • Is MHP a solution?

  33. Running an MHP-based Program • You must have: • Transport stream and object carousel generator • A playback system • Cable or satellite TV channel • Expensive? Yes • Alternative resource for research • Digital TV Simulator

  34. Browsing Video SCORM on Simulator • Simulator: OSMOSYS SDK 2.1 • MHP 1.1

  35. Video capture tool Audio capture tool Content Authoring & preparation Raw video & audio data Directories containing applications & assets MPEG-2 encoder MPEG-2 encoder Object carousel generator (broadcast file system) Multiplexer MPEG-2 Elementary stream Full transport stream (Incl. service information ) Transport stream playout system Modulator For satellite network only Upconverter Receiver (Set Top Box) General Broadcasting System

  36. Status • PC-based • Video SCORM AuthoringTool • Video SCORM Run-time Environment • Integrated with the Hard SCORM LMS • Set-top Box and Broadcasting System • Simulator • Not yet completed
