Polimedia: Using advanced screencasting for effective e-learning content production

Abstract

In this paper we present Polimedia, a system designed to help teachers producing high quality e-learning content without technological knowledge. We achieve this by using a special TV-like recording studio that gets teachers' video and learning material in a way that resembles standard slide presentations. We present the architecture of the system and we provide examples and results of its usage at Universidad Politecnica de Valencia, where we have used this system with more than 200 teachers and 2,500 recording tracks.
