Trends Driving Adoption of IP Video
• Legacy analog systems in need of upgrade or going EOL
– Data, voice, video converging on one network
• Heavy investments in network upgrades the past 10 years
– Infrastructure now in place to support video over IP
• Video compression technologies continue to improve
– High quality video can be delivered with very little bandwidth
• Video repetition improves retention
– Video based curriculum can reduce learning cycle by 15+%*
• Students are growing up with video
– They relate to it: gaming, YouTube, iPods
*Oklahoma State University study
Streaming Video: Helping Faculty
• Teachers
– Record classroom sessions for absent/remote students
– Improve the accuracy of communication; repetition and retention
– Access on-demand content anytime from your PC to a projector
– Host a virtual field trip to museums, parks, remote locations
– Increase reach by live streaming to other schools, classrooms
– Develop assignments that connect to video assets
• Media Specialists
– Convert assets to digital format and deliver on-demand
– Reduce administration for VCR tape checkout
– Improve response times for asset availability
– Ensure compliance with Teach and Copyright Acts
A Look at the Old Analog Days
Chalkboard
Classroom
Communications
Camcorder
Coax video network
Reel Projector
The “school”
computer
The “VCR” Cart
VCR Library
The computer lab
Today’s Technology the Digital Way
Computers at
every desktop
Bus stop with
video surveillance
and digital signage
Chalkboard to
Smartboard
Analog tapes to
digital DVD disks
VCR’s to video-ondemand
VCR tape library
to digital video
asset library
Podcast
of
lectures,
news,
etc.
Student Newscasts
Then
Non-existent in the past - too
expensive to implement a broadcast
studio
Teachers discuss current events
based on network news
Some use TVs in the classroom
Most students are not engaged
watching adults deliver the news
Now
Students can take
turns delivering the
news to their fellow
students from a news
room
Students and teachers watch
the student’s news cast from
the classroom using a normal
computer connected to a
monitor or TV.
They quickly become
more engaged with
current events
through participation
Teachers can expand on
certain news topics and
students are more likely to
engage in conversations
VCR Tape and DVD Distribution
Then
Visit the media specialist to check
out a tape/DVD - hope that it is
there and that you wont be put on
the waiting list
Coordinate the borrowing of the
VCR/DVD/TV cart
Play in classroom, hope that the
quality is acceptable
Now
Teachers access the
VCR/DVD remotely
right from their PC and
the video is displayed
to the classroom TV or
digital projector
Teachers have total control
over the device with REW, FF
and PAUSE controls even
though the VCR/DVD can be
physically located miles away
Principal’s Morning Announcements
Then
Teachers waste time rounding up all
the students into the biggest room
possible, traditionally the auditorium
Principal delivers message
Waste time getting everyone back to
classroom
Now
Principals can deliver
the morning
announcement from
their office through
live streaming
Students and teachers watch
the announcement from the
classroom using a normal
computer connected to the IP
network
Classroom Capture and Playback
Now
Then
A teacher instructs a class at
fixed time/day
If you can’t make it to class you
must rely on someone else’s
notes
If you can’t read your notes after
the class you have limited
alternatives
Teachers can capture
and record their
material
The material can be
posted to an ondemand server for
future playback
Repetition and
retention
Students can view the material
on-demand from anywhere on
the computer network –
including at home.
This is ideal for students who
do not like to raise their hands
in class or need additional
review time
Cable TV Distribution to the Desktop
Then
TV in the classroom connected
to a separate coax network
Now
Recording required a VCR
Teachers use a
computer to seamlessly
integrate live cable TV
events into their
classroom curriculum.
Web access, PC applications
and TV access all over
completely separate networks
They can also record
with a single button
press (like Tivo)
Separate coax infrastructure to
purchase and maintain
Teachers can then reuse recorded segments
of the TV programs at a
later time on-demand to
help develop their own
custom curriculum
VCR Tape Conversion/Digital Asset Distribution
Then
Now
A teacher brings in a personal asset
on a CD or tape
The asset is often copied to a hard
drive on a shared or personal
computer
The asset is difficult to share with
other instructors
Copyright questions come into play
Teachers access the
assets they have
created or purchased
from the video-ondemand server right
from their PC and send
the videos to the
classroom TV or digital
projector
Teachers can replay any of
the stored assets from
anywhere on the computer
network. Students can also
play back assets as part of
their assignments.
Virtual Field Trips
Then
Schools rely on physical
transportation to move students
to areas of interest
A great deal of advance
planning is required;
chaperones, permission slips,
liability insurance
Costs are expensive for
transportation thus limiting
location choices
Not very “Go Green” friendly
Now
New buildings,
museums, learning
centers, etc. can be
connected through IP
based video
conferencing
No special wiring or
connections are
necessary – uses
university’s Local Area
Network (LAN)
Cost savings: A greater
number of events can be
planned
Distance is no longer a factor
Teachers can create virtual
field trips to museums, parks,
theaters, aquariums reducing
student liability and cost
Distance Learning
Then
Overall it was too expensive to
deploy in any meaningful manner
Schools that were geographically
separated rely mainly on voice
communications to collaborate
If video were deployed it typically
required a dedicated voice circuit
provided at a very expensive
monthly/yearly cost
Now
Schools across the US
and worldwide can
collaborate through IP
based video
conferencing
No special wiring or
connections are
necessary – uses
university’s Local Area
Network (LAN)
Teachers and students across
the country can interact as if
they were located across the
room from one another
No monthly charges
Teachers can share expertise
and schools the cost of expert
instructors
Webcasting of Special Events and Sports
Now
Then
Logistics often lead to restrictions on
who can attend special events such
as graduations or the festivities
You are often provided a limited
number of tickets for your friends
and family
Weather can impact outdoor events
Still pictures and home made videos
are used to recap the event for
those who can not attend
Sporting event, plays
and graduations are
streamed live to
overflow rooms and
over the Internet to
friends and family who
could not attend
The event can also be
recorded and stored for
reunions as well as burned to
create a DVD for parents or
past alumni for use in fund
raising efforts
Priority Alert Notification
Then
Closed circuit television
provided ground breaking news
and information
Local events and emergencies
were difficult to communicate
In times of emergencies outside
help was blind to the events
unfolding behind the walls of the
school building
Now
Priority alerts such as
classroom
cancellations, weather
alerts and campus
emergencies can be
communicated across
campus and over the
Internet to law
enforcement
agencies, news
stations and personal
devices
Students, teachers, parents
and law enforcement can
monitor the situations remotely
and react accordingly given
realtime video footage of the
actual event. First level
response times are reduced
dramatically
A Tool for Supporting a Flipped Classroom
•
A flipped classroom places a focus on viewing lessons at home while
homework is completed in the classroom with the help of an instructor. The
use of video can help to provide more accurate information transfer.
