WMA: A Marking-Based Synchronized Multimedia Tutoring System for English Composition Studies By Herng-Yow Chen and Kuo-Yu Liu Presented by Brett Lilley
Evolution of the Web • Hypertext: • Document with hyperlinks to other documents • Content-based • Hypermedia: • Hypertext with graphics, audio, video • Time-based
Problem Statement Creation of hypermedia presentations for educational use. Focus on correcting English Composition
Creating Hypermedia • Authoring • Media Correlation • Publishing • Integration
Better Educational Solution – Presentation Recording • eClass • Authoring on the Fly
Web-Based Multimedia Annotation (WMA) System • Enable students to submit writing via the Web • Capture speech instructions • Capture the navigation events • Hot Keys • Mouse Operations • Ensure synchronized presentation with automatic navigation features • Enable random access throughout the hypermedia document
Temporal Correlation • Discrete Media • Navigation Events • Continuous Media • Speech • Random Access Between the Two
Spatial Correlation: Tele-Pointer • Discussion Clues • Capturing/Storing Issues
Tele-Pointer Movement Interpolation • Interpolation Smoothing Algorithm • Number of Interpolated Pointers • Distance Interval • Timestamp and Positions • Time Interval - Crucial
Undo Facilitation • Timestamps of events do not match speech stream timestamps • Recording is contiguous – cannot delete on-the-fly • Delete during speech-event binding
Experimental Results:Undo Functionality • Compare Against Manually-Created Speech Segments • 71% Match – Lower than Random Access
Experimental Results:Tele-Pointer Interpolation • Interviewed 20 Students • >80 ms = Decreased Fluidity and Sickness • 50 ms Used in WMA
Experimental Results: User Study • When: Spring 2006 • Where: Computer Science and Information Engineering at Chi Nan University • Who: 2 instructors, 27 Ph.D. students, 25 graduate students
Survey Results • Favorable reactions to perceived usefulness of WMA • Integration of emerging technologies for learning is attractive to students • Favorable reaction to design and features.
Conclusion • Overall system evaluation is good for practical applications • Learners get what they put in • Improvements can be made by customizing the Speech-Event Binding process
