| The AutoAuditorium System for televising lectures |
|
| I would like to make you aware of the AutoAuditorium System, a
technology that could have a very positive impact on the availability
of Distance Education. In a nut shell ...
Create Auditorium and Classroom Videos Without a Crew!
The AutoAuditorium System turns an ordinary auditorium, lecture hall or
classroom into one that automatically makes broadcasts and recordings of
lectures and talks. Permanently installed in the room, it uses cameras and
microphones to be "aware" of what is happening on stage. It televises the most
common auditorium talk: people speaking on stage, showing slides to a local
audience.
Because the system is completely automatic, the people on stage and in the
local audience are not distracted. To remote audiences, an AutoAuditorium
program is usually indistinguishable from one produced by a crew.
Easy and economical to use, it is used often. Thus many more people can avoid
traveling, or missing talks because of a schedule conflicts. Classes taught
in one location can be telecast to other locations and/or recorded for later
use.
IBM TJ Watson Research has three systems in use. They published a paper in
January 2001 saying that they were creating video for their e-Seminar service
at the rate of 5 - 10 hours per week. Since then, their use has increased.
They created 150 AutoAuditorium videos in 2002, which grew to 233 in 2003.
Boeing also has a system, used to send presentations from Seattle around the
country.

| Creating Preferred Futures |
12/22/2000 |
| Current and future generations will encounter a future world that will be radically different than the present and past. For the most part, however, curriculum, learning strategies and teaching methods continue to focus on the past and present. Integrating a systematic consideration of the future aids students by equipping them with the perspectives, skills and abilities they will need to successfully navigate their future.
Creating Preferred Futures offers children and youth an opportunity to develop creative, futures-oriented problem solving and critical thinking skills that enhance learning in any content or subject area. If you would like your students to learn how to create their preferred futures within the context of your particular learning community, or in unique collaborative activities with other students around the world, then CPF is for you. Creating Preferred Futures features interactive forums for students and teachers to collaborate on futures-oriented classroom and community projects, extensive web resources, an online futures-oriented tutorial, mentoring assistance and a "trend watcher" function that logs and categorizes environmental scanning "hits."

| Awesome Stories.com |
9/7/2001 |
| Using the great stories of history and popular culture as a springboard, our site interactively allows people to examine the actual documents, pictures, graphics and other primary resources that are the backbone of the story. It helps people make up their own minds about what really occurred and turns learning into a fun and entertaining process. For example, many people would like to know what really happened to the Challenger and its astronauts. Our site (in the Disaster channel) takes visitors directly to NASA's various (and hard-to-search) web sites where they can see for themselves what really happened. (How many people realize they have to search for "STS 51-L" at a NASA site to locate information about the Challenger explosion?) We also link to the actual government investigation reports.
In today's world, students leave the movie theatre believing they just saw actual history take place on the big screen. Our site (in the "Flicks" channel) helps educators teach what's real - and what's not - about movies that are based on actual people and events.
The site is like a very specific search engine that helps educators, parents and students find precisely what they need at the moment they need it. With nearly 100,000 internal links, taking visitors to primary and secondary source materials, the site is becoming an indispensible resource for the e-learning world. If the best evidence is found at a foreign web site (usually a university, museum or national archive), we link to that. For example, some of the most intriguing information about the Hindenberg disaster is found on German sites. We link to such sites, translating what English-speaking people need to know in order to understand "the evidence." Visitors to our site can see the actual Hindenberg explosion on-line because we "take" them to Germany to watch the film. (9/7/2001) |
