"Lecture Video and Scene-related Knowledge Sharing Common Platform Design and its Prototyping -A Practical Example of Learner-centric Open Video Content Service-"

Abstract

Open Course Ware (OCW) was first adopted by universities to release text-based lecture notes, and lecture videos are a recent addition. We have designed Web site which can be shared among OCW member universities without their own facility for sharing lecture video and lecture-scene-related-knowledge. We initially propose the ‘Social Curator Collaboration Model’ which creates an environment that general public user other than course lecturer can participate as learning assistant to reply to other learner’s questions or opinions. We also propose Web-API function mash-up architectural design to realize OCW common platform. We have evaluated the functionality of our proposed model by prototyping the infrastructure and challenged it with real OCW lecture video.
