Abstract: |
The
Opencast Matterhorn project is a free, open-source platform
to support the management of educational audio and video
content. Built by higher education institutions for
higher education institutions, Matterhorn is a solution
that a campus can use to produce lecture recordings,
manage existing video, serve designated distribution
channels, and provide user interfaces to engage students
with educational videos. Matterhorn is also a framework
of media services, and therefore highly configurable
to meet individual institutional needs. Optimized for
pedagogical application, Matterhorn offers tools that
aim to engage the learner and facilitate efficient learning.
This session will introduce Matterhorn to participants,
both in terms of software and as a collaboration of
academic institutions seeking to build a common solution
to a variety of video management requirements in higher
education. A discussion will also explore the benefits
and costs of adopting an open source solution as an
alternative to commercial lecture capture and video
management systems.
