Interessante master thesis van E.L. de Moel getiteld "Expanding
the usability of recorded lectures. A new age in teaching and classroom instruction".

"At present, Delft University of Technology records around 10% of their lectures. This number is expected to increase in the following years. Having these recorded lectures opens the door to all kinds of new ideas and improvements for their educational program. At this moment they employ a video streaming system called Collegerama, which allows viewers with an active Internet connection to watch their lectures online. It combines a video stream of the lecturer with a series of screenshots of the accompanying PowerPoint slides.
The main research question for this project is: “How can we efficiently and effectively present recorded lectures and course material to students at universities?” This can be divided into three sub-questions:
• How can we increase the accessibility and availability of the recorded lectures in Collegerama?
• How can we make recorded lectures easier to follow, especially for foreign speaking students?
• How can we effectively and efficiently navigate and search within recorded lectures?"
