In this work, the authors present a fully automated recorded lecture summarization tool and an innovative mobile iPad visualization tool. Summarization works for blackboard-based lectures by robustly extracting blackboard edits with great accuracy and high performance. Analysis output is then presented with overview and visual timelines along the original video to allow discovering lecture passages based on time. A second option allows students navigating contents in space by allowing revisiting blackboard elements directly by touching regions in the video. Proposed summarization, temporal and spatial navigation along with interactive visual annotations bring to recorded lectures the benefits that other digital learning material has long enjoyed and entice a younger generation of learners.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
