-----Administrative stuff-----
--The next line will be the name of the talk the users will see
----It can be in English
<topic_title>Streaming Media Proposal</topic_title>

-----Template stuff-----
--The next few lines describe the template
----It is used to define how each slide will look.  It is basically HTML
----but with a few 'extra' tags thrown in.
----If you're not sure what's going on here, just skip on down to the
----slides part at the bottom
----If you wish, you can modify this template, and make it as elaborate as 
----you want.  Anything you can do in HTML (images, backgrounds, whatever)
----All your slides will follow this design.

----slide and /slide go on their own lines.  The first line after slide is the 
----slide's title.  Everything else will be a topic item of the slide

Goal
Relieve over-crowding of CSCI N classrooms
Experiment with Distance Learning Technology
Maximize lecturer output
</slide>

<slide>
Implementation Strategy
Continue partnership with Community Learning Network
Offer core certification courses through television and web
Encourage local and distant certification
</slide>

<slide>
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
</slide>

<slide>
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
</slide>

<slide>
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
</slide>

<slide>
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
</slide>

<slide>
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
</slide>

<slide>
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)
</slide>

<slide>
Long term goal
Entire certificate online with high quality
CSCI Major courses
Abilene network
</slide>

<slide>
Barriers
Uncertainty of web/cyber lab
Hardware requirements
Technical issues
Manpower restraints
