  1. ASC Lecture Object Survey Summary George Brett April 2005

  2. Survey Introduction • For purposes of this survey, the Lecture Object is defined as a digital object composed of lecture video, audio, support graphics, slides, with important metadata about the contents. In simple terms this includes audio/video of a speaker merged with synchronized presentation materials, typically PowerPoint and has additional metadata/information attached to support searching an archive of Lecture Objects. • Some part of almost every Internet2 member institution is actively capturing Lecture Objects for storage, retrieval and playback today. But each in its own way. The lack of widely accepted approaches to capture, post-production, storage, indexing, retrieval or playback means not only that work is being duplicated unnecessarily, but that our shared community of users has no easy way to find and play back Lecture Objects from other places other than by doing individual searches and using a variety of playback tools that have differing network and platform requirements. • The Internet2 Lecture Object project seeks to first understand current practices by members of our community, and will then evaluate the promulgation of standard frameworks for the capture, production, storage, retrieval and playback of Lecture Objects. Findings will be shared with the Internet2 members. • We appreciate your assistance in collecting information about your organization's use and interest in Lecture Objects.

  4. Is Your organization capturing Lecture Objects?

  5. If you are currently engaging in Lecture Object activity please briefly describe the technical approaches you are using for capture and production. Please provide URLs if relevant. Hardware: Most capture video from live sessions and then do postproduction to edit and digitize. Software

  6. Approximately how many Lecture Objects are you capturing per year?

  7. Approximately how many minutes long is the average video per lecture?

  8. How do users find the appropriate Lecture Object to playback within your collection(s)? Please provide URLs if relevant.

  9. What access control does your organization use for authentication and authorization?

  10. What are the playback requirements for users of your Lecture Objects (platform, software, network)?

  11. Do you archive Lecture Object materials?

  12. If you do archive Lecture Objects, what format are the archives stored in?

  13. If you do archive Lecture Objects, how can users access the archived material?

  14. Do you archive materials in formats that are a higher quality than that which is currently streamed? If you have interest in archiving materials in high quality formats, would you like to know more about tools to make this process easier?

  15. Are you collaborating with any other organizations on Lecture Object related initiatives?

  16. Are you interested in sharing Lecture Objects publicly? If you are interested in sharing Lecture Objects publicly would you be interested in permitting Lecture Objects to be down loaded or physically moved to other sites?
