Interesting Paper on Archiving of Lecture Materials
Posted on January 12, 2005
Let’s just note at the start here that you, or your organisation, will require a IEEE Digital Library membership to read this article.
Anyway, I just read an interesting article by Michihiko Minoh, of Kyoto University called Automatic Lecture Archiving System which details a automatic system already in place for several courses at Kyoto University. This system records lectures for later playback, with indexing of
- who is speaking (lecturer/student)
- where the speaker is, including video of the speaker if possible
- what is showing on the projector
- what the lecturer is drawing on the whiteboard – with the strokes recorded in time
How cool is that? I really would have like something like that when I was undergraduate so that I could skip the lectures, and be too lazy to use it anyway.
If you cannot read that paper, I have found another couple of similar-looking papers at the university, that I haven’t read yet, however.
- Automatic Extraction of Key Sentences from Oral Presentations using Statistical Measure based on Discourse Markers
- Spoken Language Processing for Audio Archives of Lectures and Panel Discussions
