Streaming Media Proposal

1. Goal

  • Relieve over-crowding of CSCI N classrooms
  • Experiment with Distance Learning Technology
  • Maximize lecturer output






























Streaming Media Proposal

2. Implementation Strategy

  • Continue partnership with Community Learning Network
  • Offer core certification courses through television and web
  • Encourage local and distant certification






























Streaming Media Proposal

3. Continuum of delivery types

  • Professional quality production
  • Television broadcast for courses with widest appeal (Core courses)
  • Concurrently offer web-based alternatives
  • Packaged on CDs, so web access is optional
  • Video and sound capacity, based on bandwidth available
  • Synchronized to web pages that contain notes, examples, applets






























Streaming Media Proposal

4. Dealing with electives

  • Some courses will not draw enough audience to justify televising
  • Go straight to web broadcast with these courses
  • Continue to offer an array of web-based options
  • We may need to invest in cameras or other technology to record these courses






























Streaming Media Proposal

5. Projected equipment needs

  • Decoding software + server software: approx $1000
  • Dedicated decoder / server hardware and peripherals: approx $10,000
  • Personnel: approx $39,000 (split among three students for a year)
  • Total projected budget: approx $50,000






























Streaming Media Proposal

6. Projected time frame

  • Sample CD containing player, media, and web pages by Sept 30
  • A version of N100 online by Oct 15 1999
  • Audio Encoding of N241 same day as taping
  • Video Encoding of N241 by Jan 15 2000






























Streaming Media Proposal

7. Expected enrollment

  • This semester, N241 had five sections @33 each, with 25 on the waitlist
  • These students will all be taking six other N series course
  • The N300s are already all waitlisted.
  • Possibly double N course enrollment (from 1188 to 2000 c.h) by Fall 2002






























Streaming Media Proposal

8. Distance Education opportunities

  • These figures presume continued limitations in faculty and lab resources
  • With a wider (statewide an international) audience, figures might go larger!
  • Satellite centers in libraries and schools
  • International opportunities (Esp Malaysia, India)






























Streaming Media Proposal

9. Long term goal

  • Entire certificate online with high quality
  • CSCI Major courses
  • Abilene network






























Streaming Media Proposal

10. Barriers

  • Uncertainty of web/cyber lab
  • Hardware requirements
  • Technical issues
  • Manpower restraints
