AM Bob Middleton (University of Alabama
at Huntsville) & Rick Bagwell (Alabama Research
and Education Network): "Experiences
with Unicast/Multicast Tutorials and International
Classes at the University of Alabama in Huntsville"
The University of Alabama
in Huntsville was asked last fall by the National
Children’s Advocacy Center to record
and deliver, at pre-selected times, three
Tutorials related to “Child Abuse”
issues over the Internet and Internet2. The
Tutorials were pre-recorded in our conventional
streaming video format , and some with synchronized
PowerPoint slides, and delivered over the
Internet and Internet2 at pre-scheduled times.
We also incorporated a live streaming video
answer session at the end of each lecture,
receiving questions from the remote audience
sites via phone and email. The large number
of potential receiving sites for these tutorials
forced us to simultaneously use both conventional
Unicast as well as Multicast delivery modes.
The procedure to Multicast the synchronized
streaming video and PowerPoint slide material
may be a new approach. Another new approach
was the experimental inclusion of scrolling
text of the audio portion to comply with Federal
requirements for access by handicapped individuals.
Our annual UAH Engineering
class with a French school is now underway
and used the above technology (except Multicast)
this year. A summary and update of this effort
will also be given.

Experiences Overcoming Firewalls and Limited
Bandwidth for H.323"
As video teleconferencing
and other distance learning initiatives
are implemented by schools and businesses,
there is a growing need for the ability
to support such applications on existing
networks with limited bandwidth and limited
funds for network expansion. This session
will cover practical, real-world implementations
of H.323 and other protocols requiring
Quality of Service (QoS) over limited
Bandwidth connections and through legacy
firewalls. A few specific implementations
will be discussed where school systems

10:30
- 11:00 AM Larry
Amiot (Northwestern University):
"Scheduling Videoconferences
on an MCU"
There are several issues
to consider in deciding whether or not
to schedule videoconferences on an MCU.
Should sessions be scheduled on the MCU
or should it be run in the ad hoc mode?
If it is desired to schedule an MCU, should
commercial scheduling software be purchased,
or should university written scheduling
software be used? Should the users do
the scheduling, or should the MCU administrative
staff do the scheduling? How should the
users communicate their need for a videoconference
session? How and who controls the videoconferencing
session? Does scheduling provide a measure
of security to the videoconference? How
do you make changes in scheduled conferences?
This talk will try to
answer some of these questions and describe
a system that is in place and operating
with a Radvision ViaIP enterprise videoconferencing
system at Northwestern University. The
scheduling system includes Northwestern
written Web pages and an associated Java
application that schedules the MCU using
an API on the Radvision MCU. A description
of the XML interface to the API and the
interface to the Java code will be presented.

8:00
- 9:00 AM Dan
Hague and Alan McCord (University of Michigan):
"Architectures: From Video Storage to
Campus Rich Media Services"
Individual campus video
projects can easily require many Gigabytes
of storage for even a short ten-minute
asset. Once stored, those assets need
to be cataloged, streamed and otherwise
re-purposed. The University of Michigan
is evaluating IP-based SANS to fill a
niche that has not been addressed by traditional
storage solutions. Disk Attached Storage
(DAS) is inexpensive, but has neither
the speed nor scalability required for
managing video assets in a large organization.
Traditional SANS are islands of storage
that can be incompatible with highly decentralized
organizations. IP-based storage using
iSCSI standards may be the answer that
gives our campus the speed, scalability,
and economics we need to manage our video
assets.
Once we can make digital video assets
available to the broad university community
using an economical mass storage system,
what are the other architecture and service
components needed to insure that these
video assets are in fact used? We will
discuss some of the architectural components
under review at the University of Michigan,
including authentication and access control,
content capture, digital asset management
systems, linkages to course management
systems and library cataloging systems,
digital rights management, and student
portfolios.

"Low-Bandwidth
Video Conferencing for Media-Intensive Distance
Learning and Telemedicine"
Live video conferencing
using high bandwidth videoconferencing
can meet many educational needs for those
fortunate enough to have Internet2 connections.
But even H.323 videoconferencing using
Internet2 does not give the quality of
resolution and frame rate needed for some
applications. Quality is even more elusive
for those limited tolow-bandwidth connections.
The need for two different
approaches for solving this problem arose
in projects involving instructional uses
of digital video. Our faculty have been
able to use high-resolution and high-quality
MPEG2 video across our local Intranet
in both classrooms and laboratories for
some time. These applications need high
quality in order to illustrate subtle
abnormalities in neurological function,
illustrate details of procedures, and
illustrate necropsy examinations. The
two applications resulted from a desire
to use comparable quality videos with
instruction and conferences over low bandwidth
connections using the commodity Internet.

University/Argonne National Laboratory): Session
Initiation Protocol (SIP) (panel
discussion)
The Session Initiation
Protocol (SIP) and its extensions have
the promise of providing a new framework
for interconnecting telecommunications
devices. A session might be a simple telephone
call or a multi-media, multi-point conference
call that includes media such as telephones,
instant messaging, audio/video conferencing,
data sharing, file transfer, and FAX.
"Presence" is the ability to
manage the willingness and ability of
users and their devices to communicate
with other users on the network and is
a key component of emerging SIP technologies.
This session will provide short presentations
from three different points of view: a
vision from an Internet2 working group,
a vision from a videoconferencing system
vender, and a view from Microsoft. At
the end of the short presentations, there
will be an opportunity to ask questions
of the panel on their perspective of the
future of SIP and its impact on emerging
technologies.

"Shareable Rich Media Learning Object
Repositories and Management for e-Learning"
This presentation describes
Saras, a project to develop new technologies
and middleware tools to enable databases
and content management products for standards-based
e-learning and for supporting shareable
and searchable learning object repositories,
rich with media. Automated content indexing
and annotation capabilities that provide
standards-compliant metadata for media
and other learning objects to facilitate
easy location, browsing, and reuse are
crucial in fostering informal and just-in-time
learning modes that are a necessary part
of life-long and continual education and
training in many organizations. The technologies
presented are standards-compliant with
respect to both rich media and e-learning
aspects, and include extraction of MPEG-7
compliant metadata for media content and
SCORM-compliant learning object metadata
for archival, search, and retrieval of
learning content. The media analysis research
for this work was founded upon the principles
of Computational Media Aesthetics which
enables algorithms for automated, multi-granular
and consistent content annotation, facilitates
sharing and access of learning content
objects. The speaker will discuss new
value-added services provided by automated
media analysis in deriving reusable media
LOs, and locating and browsing rich media
content at multiple description levels
as supported by MPEG-7 and SCORM.

"Technology as Vertical Teaming:
Bridging the High School / College Gap"
High school students often
have difficulty making the transition from
secondary to post-secondary education. Their
problems have been documented to cause lower
grades in college courses and higher dropout
rates. However, one cause of the difficulty
in transitioning is the discrepancy in expectations
of secondary and post-secondary students and
teachers. The English Department at the University
of Alabama at Birmingham is using technology
to bridge this gap.
