TRANSCRIPT
Need
• Use freely available streaming technologies• Make the set up process quick and non-
intrusive• Automate the capturing, archiving and
playback• Use streaming video to provide an engaging
and compelling learning environment
Click and Go: Aims
• Establish a methodology covering all the information needed to integrate video lectures with other resources and to present them over the Web
• Produce a set of tools to ease the creation of video-streamed multimedia presentations
• Generate ‘How to do it’ guides, easy-to-follow tutorials and guides to learning and best practice
Click and Go Partners
• UMIST• University of Manchester• Manchester Metropolitan University• Lancaster University• JISC/DNER Funding Aug 2000-Jul 2002
• 36 projects running August 2000 - July 2003 • £10.5 M• divided into 6 clusters:
– moving image and sound, images, museum content, enhancing JISC services, improving access to L&T resources and virtual environments
• which are:– Creating tailored learning and teaching
materials– Providing access to digital collections– Enhancing JISC Services
DNER Learning & Teaching Programme

Streaming Technology
Case Studies
• Real-time and on-demand streaming of lectures integrated with slides and ancillary video
• Bookmarking key events in the video stream and providing hyperlinks to supporting learning material

material• How best to capture practical videos
- storyboard it or show a skilled operator working from raw materials- losing the colour texture of food
Resource Development
• Web Site• Tools – SMIL wizard, etc• ‘How to do it’ guides• Technology demonstrators• Guides to learning and best practice• Case studies • Workshops
