Abstract
This study deal with the topic within 2 main perspecti= ves. The first perspective is the institutional instructor and professor’s perspective. The 2nd perspective, is= the students ADA perspective. Thi= s is the perspective of a student that is hearing impaired, but does not know si= gn language. Therefore, in such special cases, = the institution, such as a university is required to provide such a student wit= h a professional captionist to comply with ADA (American with Disabilities Act) laws. Together, these complem= entary perspectives draw a more complete picture compared to either view point by = itself.
FORENSIC AU= DIT INTERNET VIDEO CAPTION, SUBTITLES, & TRANSCRIPTION
Forensic Audit Internet Video Caption, Subtitles, & Transcription describes how to repurpose ADA captions compliance services f= or other purposes, such as auditing, sharing the high cost of a professional experienced human captioner. = First we want to share the captions of a single university course, with additional sections of the same course. = Thus, we divide the average cost by more and more units of credit hours, reducing= the cost per hour. In addition, w= e can use it for auditing purposes, ignoring for now the legal and privacy issues= of a “big brother” environment.&n= bsp; This technology enables the auditors to know what exactly goes on in= the classroom in real-time and retrospectively.
HD (High Definition) Video SD (Secured Digital) Memory= Card Upload To Google Video
As soon as we finish recording a 20 minutes HD (High Definition) video to an SD (Secured Digital) memory card, we upload it to Google Video for immediate distribution, playback and download. We upload it during the class. That means that after the first 20 minutes of the class in progress this video starts its upload process, which depends on the bandwidth speed. In a fast network, this video will be available on Google Video within the fir= st 30 minutes of the class.

Google Video Thumbnail Playback with Banner Ads from Character Generator (Green) Image Overlay (Red) Real-time Captions (White U= pper Case) and Posterior (After the fact) offline Captions (White Mixed Case)
ScreenShot: 7 displays the image of Google Video Thumb= nail Playback with Banner Ads from Character Generator (Green) Image Overlay (Red) Real-t= ime Captions (White Upper Case) and Posterior (After the fact) offline Captions (White Mixed Case). This vari= ety of banners and captions shows a sample of the technologies and techniques we integrate into this process.
Image Of Google Video Thumbnail Playback
The image of Google Video Thumbnail for Playback, enab= les a surfer to quickly scan 100 th= umbnails, each of which is a DVD chapter, and select the relevant minutes to playback= for exam or classroom review. Furthermore, the attached text, as well as the captioned text help t= he search engine index and find the appropriate clip, among millions of video clips posted on the WWW.
Banner Ads from Character Generator (Green) Image Over= lay (Red)
Banner Ads from Character Generator (Green) have sever= al advantages over their counter parts Image Overlay (Red) banners of URL-Tel. These URL-Tels are Universal Resou= rce Locators or web site addresses, that also spell a vanity telephone number l= ong distance toll-free, as well as local (305 area code). The advantages of the Character Gen= erator URL-Tel is the fact that we generate it “on the fly” while the camera is running and we have a wide variety of flexibilities in coloring a= nd positioning the banner, without turning the camera off.
Both ads attract sponsors who will underwrite and fina= nce the enterprise, providing funds and resources for this effort. The importance of such a URL-Tel i= s that it enables any device that can surf the internet and make telephone calls to execute such activities by a press of a button on a phone or a PDA (Personal Digital Assistance) or by a single click of a mouse on a virtual button on a computer screen.
The surfer, and the viewer or the listener, simply cli= ck the button, and the device calls the phone number and surfs to the URL listed on the banner ad. As soon as the device completes the call the surfer can talk to the operator, surf the web= site of the sponsor, and pay for services on line or on the phone. In either case, the owner of the v= ideo gets the commission and the credit for the purchase, while the sponsor gets= the benefits of the ads. At the s= ame time the surfer get fast efficient service that is related to the contents = that the surfer is interested in viewing or listening, such a class lecture at a university, in our case. For example, the surfer can purchase a HD DVD to supplement the low Res Google Video.
Character Generator (CG) Banner URL-Tel Ad with Multip= le Sponsors & Variable Rates
The Character Generator (Green) Banner URL-Tel Ad prov= ides the instructor with the flexibility to re-color the image of the character. The instructor can= change it from the current Green to a variety of other colors that better fit the background, such as Red, Blue, Purple, Yellow, etc. Likewise, the instructor can change the font size from average, to small and large, depending on the bac= kground space availability, or simply turn it off, all together. In addition, the instructor or the controller of the camera can move the banner ad, from the very top of the screen, the current position, down the screen, in multiple positions, all t= he way to the bottom of the screen. That is important so that the banner ad, does not cover an important object, hindering the view of a student who is trying to write down the blackboard instructions.
Most importantly, this CG Banner Ads, can be sold in i= ncrements of minute by minute, so if many sponsors are interested in funding such activity, each sponsor can get a few minutes of exposure at different rates, and in different times during the lecture.= For example, the rate for the beginning of the lecture, when most vi= ewer are still awake, can be much more expensive, then the last minutes of an accounting lecture, when most viewers are sound asleep, especially if they = are watching it from bed, before they go to sleep.
Image Overlay (IO) Banner URL-Tel Ad with Water Mark a= nd Other Special Effects
Unlike CG Banner ads, Image Overlay (IO) Banner URL-Te= l Ad has to be loaded prior to starting to shoot with the camera. That makes it static and less flex= ible, in a way. On the other hand, = since the instructor, rather than the manufacture of the Character Generator, controls the image, the instructors have the full Green Screen capability to structure the image as they please. Thus, the image can be almost transparent or entirely transparent to= the naked eye, like Water Mark, it can contain Special Effects, and provide for subliminal ads, that the user may not even be aware off. Of course this poses all kinds of ethical and legal issues, which are beyond of the scope of this study. For now, we would like to stress t= he operational facet of this research leaving the other issues for future research. It may also restric= t the sponsor sales to one single ad per camera turn-on. Plus, it requires the instructor o= r the institution to prepare the images prior to the beginning of the camera shooting, and load the image overlay before the shooting starts. Thus the stream of revenues maybe = lower and the added work requires more time and effort.
UPPER CASE White Real-Time Captions Synchronized With = The Video Playback
The UPPER CASE White Real-Time Captions Synchronized W= ith The Video Playback are very effective for ADA compliance of deaf that cannot read sign language. The capti= oner, human or machine, adds the captions in real-time, without sufficient time to edit and correct mistakes. Therefore, the quality may suffer for the sake of minimizing the tim= e to market and the sub-second delay between the voice and the caption, as well = as real-time translation, if such is available. It is also much more expensive, especially if we use an experienced = US local human transcriber, as is the current case, costing $50-100 per hour. In contrast, it is opposed to a re= mote outsourced transcriber in India, China or Pakistan, or an automated software based transcriber such as Dragon Naturally Speaking (DNS) costing about $200 for the professional edition.
Mixed Case White Real-Time Captions Synchronized With = The Google Video Playback
The advantages of the Mixed Case White Real-Time Capti= ons Synchronized With The Google Video Playback is that it is much cheaper than its counterp= art. All you need is the software and an audio file, after a training session of the instructor’s voice recognition, minimum cost employee can click the button to initiate the transcription, edit the file, while listening to the audio, and uploading t= he edited, punctuated, and corrected transcript to the WWW for printing, and to Google Video (or another video streamer) for playback, indexing, and downlo= ad, as well as DVD burning, etc. = The bigger advantage is that we have more time for editing and correction, and therefore, the quality can be much higher, while the cost will be much lowe= r.
That may be especially difficult for instructors with =
heavy
and unique accents that the voice recognition software is not familiar with,
and has trouble learning. The=
accuracy
rate may be too low to make sense of the text quickly and inexpensively.
Burning A DVD With The Captions Extend It To Multiple Languages Increasing ROI
As we connect a real-time DVD burner to the cameras, b= urning a DVD with the captions in one language, we can extend it to multiple languages. Since the DVD can = handle up to 7 different languages, we can add to the English subtitles, translati= ons in different languages, such as Spanish, Chinese, Arabic, Hindu, Russian, a= nd German, etc. This way during = the play-back the view can select the language of choice, and with voice over, = the view can read and hear the alternative languages. This will expand the marketing pot= ential of the DVDs to many markets that are beyond the English speaking countries.= Such potential new market territor= ies may further increase the ROI of such enterprise, which is the center focus = of this study.

As soon we finish burning a DVD, which is usually an h= our long the instructor executes the software that uploads the image of that unedited master DVD to the WWW server DVD-burner e-commerce site, with its shopping cart and online accounting system. Depending on the bandwidth, such u= pload may take an hour or so, in a fast university bandwidth. So typically the instructor = will initiate the upload process after the recording has been completed, and abo= ut 2 hours later, this DVD will be available for purchase using this shopping ca= rt.

After completing the upload process and the “man= ufacturing” order submission, the shopping cart is ready for the surfer to order the DVD online. The surfer, simply su= rfs to the URL, fills out the form, and checks out.

Kunaki DVD-burner Site Shopping Cart & DVD Cover I= mage Rotation Dialog Box
ScreenShot: 9 shows the image of the Kunaki DVD-burner= Site Shopping Cart & DVD Cover Image Rotation Dialog Box. At this point the surfer can fill = out the form, by pulling down the pull down menus:
The surfer can click the [Rotate Case] button and disp= lay the case from front view, rear view, side view, and inside view. At the retail price of US$ 10.00, the surfer can select the quantity from the menu, the quantity of 12345678910 or more copies of the DVD. Then the surfer selects = the state: in our case FL for the state= of Florida the zip code the country (chose from a pick list of countries such = as: Argentina, Australia, Austria, Bahr= ain, Belarus, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, Chile, China, Costa Rica, Croatia, etc, sorted alphabetically.
The dialog box then Calculates the Shipping Costs while displaying the information entered by the uploader of the DVD and the DVD c= over image. In this case the shopp= ing cart dialog box displays the content of the Java Programming course, and related materials as follows:

ScreenShot: 11 shows the Kunaki DVD-burner Site Shoppi= ng Cart Case Rotation to the Inside of the Case View. It also show the Google Tool Bar T= ip Message, raising the issue of automating the fill-in-the-blank dialog boxes. As we have discussed b= efore, there is a variety of form filling automation software, some of which has a free public domain software, such as the Google tool bar, and/or the Robo-F= orm software. To speed the upload= and ordering form filling process, we have used such programs in addition to custom written routines, as well as = other method of automation. However, this topic is beyond= the scope of the current study. W= e will deal with it in more depth, in future research.
Filewall Application Grant Access, Grant Access Once, = Or Block All Access…?”
Another important issue is the McAfee Personal Filewal= l Plus Application warning overlaid dialog box telling the surfer that the “= Kunaki program Frame is rquesting Access the Internet.” It proceeds with a multiple choice question to the surfer whether the surfer Wants to… Grant Access, Gra= nt Access Once, or Block All Access…?” The issues of computer security, business continuity, contingency planning, as well as backup and disaster recovery are more within the scope of the current study, especially as it pertain to the reuse of videos. From this perspective, we would like to mention that users should ha= ve an effective security policy together with anti-virus and filewall protection. Such firewall sou= ld issue warning to the user to raise their awareness, and most importantly to enable them to run the software that they need.
A common mistake among incompetent IT (Information Technology) staff is to go to the extremes, of either probiting any access = to the internets’ WWW beyond a simple browser access. In such a restrictive environment, users, such as professors doctors may not be able to upload videos and DVD to an internet site. Thus, they may not be able to perf= orm their job optimally. On the o= ther hand, the other extreme is not to provide any anti-virus and firewall protection exposing the users to undue risk, especially whenever video down= loads are involved.
Computer Security, Business Continuity, Contingency Planning, As Well As Backup And Disaster Recovery
The focus of the current study is the use and re-use of these videos for computer security, business continuity, contingency planni= ng, as well as backup and disaster recovery.&n= bsp; Even in the most protected environment certain viruses can invade creating a disaster that brings down an entire infra structure, including t= he mainframes, the laboratories, and even the internet service for an extended period of time. In such disaster events the traditional backup and recovery completely ignores the = backup of the instructional contents for training and teaching organization, while focusing on the accounting records, etc.
Re-Using Video DVD Archives For Anti-Virus Recovery Of= A Stand-Alone DVD Player Without A Computer.
In contrast, the current study focuses on using and re= -using videos and DVD archives for such recovery.= In a case of anti-virus recovery disaster, such archived DVD library= can be used (without a computer) until such time that the computer become avail= able again. In the mean time the i= nstructor and the students can playback the DVD in a regular DVD player without a computer, using last best previous semester recordings. This is the advantage of our appro= ach of using also DVDs as opposed to the more traditional approach of relying on D= VD other media that can be played back exclusively on computers, precluding the use of a stand-alone DVD player without a computer.

Still at a = price of $10 per DVD to the consumer, this cost of $2.00 produces a contribution margin of $8.00 per DVD, or 80% Contribution Margin Ratio (CMR). This is extremely profitable, even= at these extremely modest selling prices per DVD of $10, compared to the going rate of a technology instructional DVD of $100.00, this price is lower and discounted by 90%.
Contribution Margin (CM) Of $32,000 Can Be Quite Profitable If It Sells
That means that if a class of 100 students orders 1 DV=

Real-time Remote and Local Human Captionist Using Stenography Machine and Encoding Equipment
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%555
The traditional Real-time Human Captionist Using Steno= graphy Machine and Encoding Equipment entail a person located locally at the same classroom as the instructor. = Or alternatively, the captionist can be remote, she can be located at a differ= ent location then the instructor and the classroom, getting the audio signal ov= er telephone POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) or Skype VOIP (Voice over IP), = and return the captioned text to be merged at the lecture location. This way only the raw voice transf= er take place one way, and back comes the caption that the remote captionist produces. This is one of the experiments that this study deals with.&nb= sp; In addition to that it deals also with other types of video transcription, captions, and subtitles.&nb= sp; The other types of captions involve recording the voice in real-time, but automatically transcribing it with software, such as Dragon Naturally Speaking (DNS).
AUTOMATED SOFTWARE TRANSCRIPT COST EFFECTIVE SEO GOOGL= E VIDEO
Then after the transcript is done, using the archived = voice recording files. The user adds the time-codes into t= he transcript. In the next step = the time-coded DNS transcript can be inserted into the video, which has been uploaded to a video web site, such as Google Video. Google Video lets users add time-c= oded transcript to the video file, to view it during playback and to better index the videos by their contents, in addition to the text originally uploaded, = but is not displayed in sync with the videos.&= nbsp; This approach is much cheaper since it does not require a skilled and very expensive real-time captionist. However, the quality is also not nearly as good as a professional captionist. However, the savi= ngs in cost are about 99%, but the loss in quality is only 40% (depending on the speaker). So it is much more = cost effective, and sufficiently good for indexing and SEO (Search Engine Optimization) of the videos, by search engines like Google and Yahoo.
BANNER URL-TEL AUTOMATION
Banner URL-Tel Automation refers to the video overlays= off a URL (Universal Resource Locator) internet address, which is also a telephone number. Automating the instant communication as soon as a viewer or listener clicks a button on a screen o= f a computer, or any other device, such as a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant) or phone, the devices dial the phone number and surf to the web site for furth= er services. Such automation bri= ngs additional banner advertising revenues, increasing the ROI (Return on Investment) and offsetting some of the costs of such services.
We deploy automated transcription software, such as Dr=
agon
Naturally Speaking (DNS), to further reduce the cost of a human transcriber=
. Of
course, the quality of software transcription right now, is still inferior =
to a
professional human transcriber, but the cost is disproportionately lower, e=
ven
if we add an outsourced human transcriber and editor to the mix. What we are doing is using DNS for=
the
initial transcription recording, while also Skype-cast the lecture using VO=
IP
(Voice Over IP) for free telephone transmission to outsourced human
transcribers and editors in China, India and Pakistan, to supplement DNS.

The auditors can attach the AV (Audio Video) clips to =

BUSINESS CONTINUITY, CONTINGENCY PLANNING BACKUP & DISASTER RECOVERY
Business Continuity, Contingency Planning Backup & Disaster Recovery deals with a teaching hospital emergency situation. For example if a disaster like a hurricane of an earth-quake strikes, the professor doctors, the students interns, as well as the teaching hospital all switch to business continuity mode, using the contingency plan. The teaching hospital moves to an alternative location out of the disaster zone, with the patients, doctor professors, and students interns.<= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> Instead of the traditional live lectures, the re-use the AV archives from the previous semester, to supplem= ent the WWW (World Wide Web) internet cyber teaching and learning facilities, s= uch as an LMS (Learning Management System), similar to Blackboard, or Moodles.<= span style=3D'mso-spacerun:yes'> Classes and medical services conti= nue according to the Contingency Planning Backup & Disaster Recovery proced= ures that have been practiced, rehearsed, audited and approved prior to the disaster.
As the reader can see such topics are discussed in the literature as well as in professional meetings, such as the AAA 2008 Annual Convention (http://aaahq.= org/AM2008/cpe/cpe11.htm and http://aaahq.org/AM20= 08/cpe/cpe02.htm ) as part of a CPE (Continuing Professional Education) program.

equipment that targets one of the objectives for other purposes. For example, HD (High Defini=
tion)
digital video cameras have been optimized for movie production, yet we are
using them for other purposes, such as surveillance, forensic audit, and in=
structional
video recording. The reason t=
hat HD
is so important for instructional video is that the student has to be able =
to
read exactly what the instructor writes on the board. Likewise, for security purposes, t=
he
security guard has to see an intruders face and be able to recognize the
intruder if he leaves the crime scene and walks across the university
campus. To combine the HD
technology with legacy technologies the HD digital video may have to be con=

to analog video, and vice versa.
For this purpose we are using several adapters such as the Plextor
analog to digital, A/V (Audio/Video) component (RCA) interface to USB
(Universal Serial Bus) interface.
To
conserve resources some of the equipment has sensors that check if there is=
any

such equipment shuts itself off automatically. Hence, the instructor explains to =

"Office of Disability Services,"
http://www6.miami.edu/umbulletin/info/serv/arc.htm is typical offices in a
university that help comply with a variety of acts such as the ADA (America=

with Disabilities Act). Such =
office
assists students with disabilities to compete with the remainder of the stu=
dent
population. Occasionally, suc=
h an
office has trouble getting a note taker to take notes for a student with
disabilities, and in such a case they may send the instructor a letter aski=
ng
the instructor to assist in finding a note taker.
When the instructors offer to fund a professional
captioner, the office refused to collaborate claiming that it is too expens=
ive,
and it may set a precedence that is too demanding. "So
I told them we are working on this project to generate a lot more revenue so
you can fund it and have a lot of extra cash coming to you. And the problem is that many of th=
em
don't understand where the cash is going to come from.
So o=
ne of
the sources that it's going to come from is from the sponsors. As you can see from this little sc=

there is overlays like (305)OnTrial.Org/Net. On the bottom in green -- on the t=

and can use Java, there will be JavaScript. When the restaurant plays or click=
s on
it -- when the student plays or clicks on it, it will play the telephone
number. 800, IBM and allow the
students to surf to the website." Using such technologies as S=

the Java programming language and XML (extensible Markup Language) the wire=

phone acting also as a remote control and a video player, can also
automatically ring the number displayed in the banner, and surf the URL tha=
t is

way
the student, viewing the lecture video, can the operator of the sponsoring
organization, as well as surf their web site. In this case the vanity telephone =
number
will be (888)DVDU.Org or (888)3838.674, and the web site http://www.DVDU.Or=

This is 888 DVDU.org or CPE1.Org, whichever is available.

dial the 800 IBM number so they can order stuff from the web. All the commissions will go back t=

university and the professor to fund this payroll process -- whole
process. So this is why it's
important from an additional revenue standpoint. That's going to fund the whole pro=

addition to what I explained to you before, about transcribing it, editing =

professionally and making that editorial stuff available. So the way it will work is it will=
take

THE PROFESSOR: The text and the video and all this stuff that we are
recording." The idea is =
to
outsource the final editing to a professional counterpart around the world =
that
will edit the transcript and correct it overnight Miami time. For example, in a computer auditing
course that ends in Miami at 9 pm, Miami time, most of the text transcript =
will
be available around the world by 10 pm, which is 10 am China time. Thus, a Chinese or an Indian profe=
ssor
of computer auditing can start editing the transcript, and finish editing i=
t by
5 pm China or India time, and upload the edited version back to the
server. This way the edited v=
ersion
will be available to the students early morning next day at the latest, if =
not
a few hours later, by about midnight Miami time, and Midday China time. Likewise, we are recording several=
AV
files in different format and different compression rates. We are burning high quality DVD-R,=
for
immediate upload to an e-commerce site with a shopping cart that will be
available for purchase as fast as the bandwidth permits. Likewise, we are recording HD (High
Defenition) .mp4 files, optimized for progressive download and internet
transport, as well as highly compressed mpg files, optimized for playback on
small telephone and PDA screen, on a removable media (SD, MS, and other fla=
sh
cards). In addition we record=
also
audio files in multiple file formats like mp3 optimized for internet transp=
ort
and download, as well as voice files optimized for automated transcripts us=
ing
software such as Dragon Naturally Speaking, etc.
STUD=

&quo=
t;The Indian
counterpart will be in India, for example, start the morning. While here it is night, they will =
be

at
the end of the night our time and at the end of the day their time, they wi=
ll
be done and they will be uploading the edited version with a lot of correct=
ions
and much more -- much more readable than anything that can be done by a
captioner. Because it will ha=
ve
pictures and notes from professionals with a lot of experience. And that's going to become availab=
le
immediately as soon as they are done, which may be in the morning or maybe
three or four hours later. So=
that
students -- the hearing impaired can take that and supplement it," with
the notes that they got from class, which they or other students have taken=
.
WE
OPTIMIZE EACH MEDIA FOR A DIFFERENT TARGET APPLICATION, USE THEM ALSO FOR
BACKUP
In t=
he
event that one or more sources of content gets damaged, the other sources c=
an
serve as backups. For example=
, the
.mp4 HD AV (High Defenition Audio Video) can recreate the .mp3 files and the
standard definitions AV files. This
method of recording and streaming the content of the class is also a part o=
f a
boarder business continuity plan and a backup and recovery method, for an e=
vent
of a disaster such as a flood or a hurricane.
&quo=
t;In
addition to that, in real-time we are also burning a DVD. So the students at the end of the =
class
can take the DVD drop it in a DVD player without a computer at home. Any home DVD player that is connec=
ted to
a television, and while they are going to sleep they can watch already the
lecture and let it play all night long.&nb=
sp;
Sometimes it will not only put them to sleep, but give them an
opportunity to review the class. So
this is the idea. What we're =
doing,
taking the video output directly out of the camera, by passing all the
equipment, running it into the encoder, adding the captions in real-time,
taking the output from the captioning and rerouting it back into our system=
. That means not only can we broadca=
st it
in real-time, but we can get multiple copies. One copy going to the DVD another =
copy
going to the computer, and yet another copy going to our hard drive.
The
important thing to understand, we record it here in multiple compression ra=
tes. One of the compression rates is a =
very
high compression rate. Just t=
o give
you an idea. 20 minutes that =
we
record here in the class in HD-- mean high definition video -- will take 2
gigs. Another level of compre=
ssion
is about 100 times more compressed.
So instead of taking 2 gigs for 20 minutes, it will take 2 gigs for
about eight hours. That high
compression level is recording it directly to a memory stick, and that is
another thing that we can do. We
can hand them a memory stick and they can pop the memory stick into a telep=
hone
that has a memory stick device in it.
The only difference is you see the picture is small. This is the size of picture that w=
ill
play on a telephone. It will =
be
perfect resolution for a telephone.
It will not be very good if you use it on an HD television and you m=
ake
it very large. But that will =
give
the ability to the student that is hearing impaired to walk away from the c=
lass
with an SD card, which is a secure digital card. Do you have any card lying around?=
Here you can see inside, you can see
these little cards inside are called SD cards. These little memory cards. The important thing to understand =
is the
compression is optimized for memory cards, which means you can take a memory
card like that, pop it into your telephone that has a memory card slot, and=
you
will have the whole lecture on that.
You don't even have to have a DVD player. So if it goes out, if it works in
another job as a night guard or some other job that lets him watch a teleph=
one,
he takes the SD card with a lecture, click it and he will get inside his
telephone not only the video of the lecture, but also the caption of the
lecture. That is another aven=
ue of
dealing with the hearing impaired.
And now he can watch the class on his telephone and see the captions=
in
the telephone. What is the pr=
oblem?

incentive not only to publish, and comply with "publish or perish"
paradigm, but also to prepare better for the classes and ultimately teach m=
ore
effectively. Likewise, it wil=
l make
the resulting textbook; a lot more attentive to the actual need of the
students, rather than cater to the perceived student needs, or what the
instructor thinks that the students need.&=
nbsp;
As a result, the instructors may prepare more for the class, students
will have a greater input into the process of textbook authoring, and most
importantly the textbook revisions will be much more up to date due to the
automatic and repetitive continuous quality improvement processes that are
taking place.
WHY =
SHOULD
WE LET THE PROFESSORS REPURPOSE THE CAPTIONED EDITED TRANSCRIPT FOR TEST AND
TEXTBOOK AHUTHORING PURPOSES DID WE NOT PAY THEM TOO MUCH ALREADY?
Some
administrators may be too short sighted to see the benefits of letting the
professors repurpose the captioned transcript for test and textbook authori=
ng
and publishing purposes, claiming that they are already over-paying them, f=
or
dubious quality of teaching services.
However, we have to understand the marginal added utility of such
professor’s efforts. Ev=
en the
most experienced court reporter or captioner, as was the case in our study,
where a professional court reported with about 20 years experience, did an
excellent job, transcribing and captioning these videos, she made some
mistakes, that may be crucial to the complete understanding and accuracy of=
the
transcript and the captions. =
That
is especially more prominent, as some of the professors are foreigners with=
a
variety of accents that makes it more difficult for a student, and a comput=
er
to understand and correctly transcribe.&nb=
sp;
As such foreign accents become more and more common with the
globalization of higher education and business this challenge becomes more =
and
more relevant.
PROF= ESSORS CAN BECOME MORE EMPATHETIC AND MORE SENSITIVE TO THE LEARNERS ABILITY TO AB= SORB THE MATERIAL AND THE CAPTIONER ABILITY TO TRANSCRIBE THE LECTURE CORRECTLY<= o:p>
For
example, a case in point in this experiment was the name of a web site's do=
main
name, which is "http://www.OnAFree.com. " The captioner consistently
misinterpreted it as "on free.com." Even though, it is a small mistake,
which is oblivious when one watches the video, and sees the URL, as the
professor demonstrates it, it may also be very confusing to a blind and deaf
person trying to go to the site and check it out.
The
professor needs the extra incentive to go back to the transcript of the
captioner or the court reported read it carefully and correct it. Furthermore, the professor learns =
to
monitor more effectively the captions and watch it more carefully in real-t=
ime,
correcting it as early as possible, and preventing such errors from
proliferating throughout the course, confusing more and more viewers.

CONTINOUS QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PROCESS THAT IS VERY COST EFFECTIVE

it teaches the professor to be more sensitive to the students and listeners
ability to follow and absorb the material, especially when the professor has
been teaching this subject for some 30 years (30 years times 10 courses a y=
ear,
about a total of 300 times) and can reach an extremely fast pace of speech
leaving even the fastest court reporter, students and listeners way behind =
the
ability to listen, absorb, process, and transcribe correctly the lecture.
Yet,=
when
such a professor does listen, and does view and reviews his own lecture one
more time, especially when it includes a captioned transcript, edited by
another expert from around the world, this professor may be surprised to se=
e, how
much more there is to learn. =
Not
only will the professor learn something new about the topic, but also about
himself and ways to improve the professor’s public speaking and
communication skills. This is=
a
valuable lesson that even the slowest learning professor may experience due=
to
such meticulous and thorough review of the professors' videos, audios,
transcripts, and overall demeanor.
Such a system may induce even the most reluctant tenured professor t=

his teaching, and in turn improve the learning experience of his students, =

This=

Inte=

the surveillance systems into the video and audio recording and captioning
process will reduce the cost of recording the lecture exclusively for ADA
compliance, by sharing the cost for multiple applications. More importantly, it will eliminat=

classic problem of "Ghost Security Cameras and Ghost Security
Guards." These are the c=
ommon
problems similar to the famous case of the "2007 Virginia Tech
University" killing of more than 30 students and professors, and mal
functioning or none-existing security surveillance system that permitted the
killer to walk away from the killing zone for 2 hours and then come back and
kill another class of students and professors. This is consistent with the famous
symptom of high security camera that mal functions for years without anybody

GHOST SECUR= ITY GUARD EXCESSIVE LITIGATION COSTS AND FORENSIC AUDITING
Miami Harold reports the details of such cases in a recent article, as follows: "http://www.miamiherald.com/news/breaking_dade/story/486235.html." "30 months after it began, 'ghost posts' audit still pending." Posted on Mon, Apr. 07, 2008, by LARRY LEBOWITZ AND SCOTT HIAASEN, llebowitz@MiamiHerald.com. &q= uot; In August 2006, Miami-Dade County's top auditor found evidence that Wackenhut Corp. had billed the county nearly $1.6 million over a three-year period for 69,000 hours worth of work that its employees -- private security guards who patrol .."
Integrating
such activities into the security system, will save some of the recording c=

and technical difficulties, but more importantly, it will force the security
staff to work. Students and
professors will be continuously monitoring the recording and live broadcast=

&quo=

You don't have to go to another university. Professors will get paid and stude=

The only difference, instead of having everything live we will do as

THE
REACTION OF ADMINISTRATORS TO THE IDEA OF ADA COMPLIANCE INTEGRATION WITH
SECURITY
&quo=
t;Now
you're telling us that while we comply with ADA we're also securing our cash

we
integrate also the recording, we don't need to have a cameraman because we =
will
use the surveillance and recording system.=
And that will prevent disasters like Virginia tech where someone com=

not
killing three birds with one stone:
Take care of the ADA, take care of the distance learning and your

MIZING
COST AND MAXIMIZING REVENUE PRODUCES FOUNDATION FOR PROFITABLE ENTERPRISE
Obvi=
ously,
minimizing the cost and maximizing the revenue is a simple formula to maxim=
izing
the profit, the "devil may be in the details." The details of the trade-offs betw=
een
cost and quality, the higher the quality, the higher the cost may be. Or, alternatively, the lower the c=
ost
the lower the quality may be. The
trouble is that as we reduce the cost, approaching a marginal cost of zero,=
so
may the quality go down to a point that the entire project is entirely usel=
ess,
due to the quality being so low.
Marginal cost is the difference in cost between 2 levels of
activity. For example, if the=
cost
is a fixed cost such as rent, then the marginal cost is equal to zero, due =
to
the fact that the cost of the rent does not differ among various levels of
activities, within a relevant range.
For example, if we pay $100 to rent a hotel seminar room plus a spea=
ker,
and host 10 peephole and $20 a ticket, our profit will be 10 people * $20 =
=3D
$200 less cost of $100 producing a profit of $100. If we raise the level of activity =
to 15
people, within the relevant range of 50 people (maximal capacity of the roo=
m)
our marginal cost will be zero, and our profit will grow to 15 people * $20=
=3D
$300 less cost of $100 producing a profit of $200.
TIME=

MONEY, AND MINIMIZING TIME TO MARKET MINIMIZES THE COST WHILE MAXIMIZING
COMPETITIVENESS
The
turn-around time of producing the contents of the captioned videos, audios,
transcript text, tests, translations, etc, cannot physically be done faster
than our proposed methodology, taking advantage of outsourcing, and opposing
time zones. This explains, wh=
y we are
using automated transcription, and offshore surveillance and recording cont=
rols
of the PTZ (Pane Title and Zoom) cameras in Miami, by operators in China and
India in opposing time zones, and reduced cost by more than 90%. Opposing time zones are time zones=
such
that when it is 9 pm in Miami, it is 9 am in China. That is especially significant in =
high
tech areas when frequent changes render outdated legacy systems obsolete
quickly. Thus the shortest ti=
me to
market grants a temporary monopoly to the fastest operators, simply because
they are the only choice available at the time. As time goes by other operators may
arrive to the market place, but by this time, the lion share of the market =
may
have been already taken by the speediest competitors. Such areas may include computer
technology, medical innovations etc.
This explains why we emphasis the fastest possible turn-around of an

MARGINAL COSTS TO APPROACH ZERO, WHILE MAXIMIZING POTENTIAL REVENUES
We d=
rive
the marginal cost to zero by using PTZ network security cameras (no camera =
men
needed), cameras are connected to the computer, a stand-alone independent D=
VD
Burner (no computer needed), and a stand-alone Wi-Fi Hard Disk Drive record=
er
(no computer needed) uploading video clips directly from a router to the
WWW. The camera contains a web
server and an SD drive, controlled by a wireless Wi-Fi telephone acting als=
o as
remote control. The captioner=
is
very expensive for the first session, but all subsequent sessions of the sa=
me
class, can use the captioned video of the first class, and therefore, their
marginal cost is also approaching zero.&nb=
sp;
So once, we captioned 1 topic and achived it, we can make it availab=
le
to all subsequent classes of an identical topic. For example, let’s say the
professor teaches Break-even analysis in one session of a Management Accoun=
ting
class, and we stream and archive the captioned video, then all other 10
sections of the same class can use this clip, with a marginal cost approach=
ing
zero. The streaming on UStrea=
m.com
is free, the progressive download and storage on Google Video is free, the
DVD-Burning storage server plus the shopping cart of Kunaki.com are free, a=
nd
therefore, we keep the cost and the time to market to a minimum.
That=
cost
reduction is especially important for academic topics whose marginal revenue
approaches zero. It may be
offensive to some professor to realize that their content has a marginal ma=
rket
value that approaches zero. In
other words, if their course was not required for a degree, they would have=
no
students, even for free. In s=
uch
extreme cases, our model will still work because in the most extreme case, =
that
nobody wants any of these contents, besides the ADA viewer, our method
minimized the cost, and provides the flexibility to focus on areas that are=
in
higher demand. Since we canno=
t tell
in advance which area are in demand, we can use the automated vetting syste=
m of
Google Video ranking, ratings, number of hits, downloads and views, and pick
the highest demand areas, again at approximately zero cost. Using such a process, we can
continuously drop the losers promote the winners, and keep trying new area =
to
find out what works best.

As Lee Lefk= owitz (2008) describes the current state of art of the captioning, subtitling and real-time transcription is still way too expensive for the average institut= ion, despite all the new media and new technologies. Following are Lee’s descript= ions:
“In recent years, emerging technologies has pave= d the way for Internet captioning to become available to individuals who wish to = take advantage of new developments. Internet captioning is the combination of Internet videos with captions that can be read in any language. This project was completed to examine the methods in which Internet captioning could be conducted as well as an examination of the costs involved in providing the service. Internet captioning required the use of technical equipment as wel= l as a stenographer. The costs of operating the technology were relatively small= and could be utilized as a method of access for ADA compliance. Internet captio= ning is being developed in its current state to be expanded when federal legisla= tion requires compliance with internet videos in the near future.
Introduction:
&nbs= p;
With the rise of YouTube, M= ySpace, and Google, Internet video has become a recent craze and part of everyday l= ife. Recently, news stations and other television companies have begun broadcast= ing their shows live via Internet. One problem that exists despite these advanc= es in technology is the lack of access it provides disadvantaged individuals. Disadvantaged individuals can be anyone that is deaf/hard of hearing, speaks another language, or relies on captioning for access to television shows, newscasts, or other multimedia. The purpose of this research project is to create opportunities for those people to have meaningful access to Internet video. Internet video can be used for a multitude of needs: entertainment, educational, or informative. With the expansion of video devices such as webcams and security cameras, consumers can easily access video sources acr= oss the Internet.”
The trouble is that the ext= ra camera in the classroom and the need for camera man place additional techni= cal burden on the institution and the instructor and can be quit costly. The alternative to this is to use = the existing surveillance system, connecting it to the computer and the DVD-bur= ner that is typically available to the instructor in the classroom, and use it instead of the extra camera, the extra camera man, and all the equipment associated with it. The best,= if the budget permit, is to use both approaches at the same time. This way one system can back the o= ther system up. At the end w= e can choose the best system, and discard the archives of the other system, or si= mply offer more choices to the viewer and user of the AV archives, and broadcast= s.
To keep the discussion simple, the next section will i= gnore the surveillance and integration of the captions with institutional and instructor perspective, while focusing on the ADA student perspective.
“- Hybrid Model:
The hybrid of an Internet c= aptioning service would provide the following: an educational website where students = can enter the “virtual classroom.” The students will be able to view the instructor on the video screen giving a lecture. The captions will be embedded into the videos for easier understanding of the material. Active participation is encouraged because the students will be able to ask questi= ons and comment via a chat window below the video window. After the lecture is completed, the video with captions can be uploaded to the site. Students can also have the option of purchasing lecture notes or transcripts of the lect= ure from the site. The method to achieve this would be that the professor creat= es the video source by plugging a video camera into the computer. The captioni= st (who does not need to be present) can receive the video source and plug it = into an encoder where it will be combined with the captions. The new video source will then be sent into the “virtual chartroom” where students c= an view and participate in the classroom session.
Goals:
&nbs= p; - Reduce costs
&nbs= p; - Make classes available online with more participation
&nbs= p; - ADA compliance”
The important goal that we ignore is creating a new se= t of revenues cash inflows, to the instructor and author of the materials, as well as the institution, whose premises and infrastructure facilitates this effort, and= the publishing company that may be involved in publishing text books and tests = that the author will create from the captioned transcripts. However, such extra revenues are v= ery important since the raise the ROI of the entire activity, and its mass mark= et utility, well beyond ADA, and a sing ADA student.
&nbs= p; “The goal of this project is to be able to project closed captioning across live Internet video. By doing so, an individual can watch videos via computer an= d be able to understand what is occurring as well as participate if necessary. N= ot only has Internet video risen in popularity, but the increase in online educational courses has developed as well. With closed captioning, many onl= ine educational courses can now have professor lectures streamed across the Internet and allow disabled students, foreign students, and even regular students to understand what is being said as well as participate. The universities can benefit from these costs, because they can allow more stud= ents to sign up for online classes. The costs of the captionist and technical equipment can be offset by the additional quantity of students that are enrolled in the courses. While the costs of implementing this technology ma= y be high, it will result in greater profit margins for the school and professor= s. Internet captioning will also meet ADA compliance requirements and allow students all over the world participate and receive hard earned degrees they may otherwise not be able to obtain.
Current Market:
&nbs= p;
&nbs= p; Devices for Internet captioning have been developed, but are not being utilized for= a variety of reasons. The cost of purchasing the devices and a trained stenographer can become costly for a company to pursue this type of technol= ogy. The lack of regulation means companies are not required to provide open acc= ess via the Internet. There are some small market companies that are utilizing = the technology, but no company has a major share of the market. It is predicted= the market will increase exponentially once legislation is passed with increased pressure from advocacy groups and other non-profit organization. The development of the technology to where it becomes self sufficient and cost effective will further motivate stakeholders to lobby for regulation.
&nbs= p;
Problem:
&nbs= p; The FCC rules that require TV shows to include captions don't apply to online <= span style=3D'color:black'>programs (one exception requires federal agencies to caption speeches and other videos they provide online). Some groups, including the National Association for the Deaf, are lobbying lawmakers to expand the captioning requirements in the Telecommunications Act of 1996 to include the Internet (Lavalee 2006). Because online captioning is not required, many companies do not spend the money to add captions or subtitle= s to their videos.
The Project: &nb= sp;
1) Before beginning the experiment involving the hardw= are listed above, a website was designed and created to provide video transmiss= ion across the Internet. The website, captionyourvideos.com, was registered usi= ng a free domain name from Microsoft Office Live. Additionally, all programming = was done through the website.
2) To create the video source, the Samsung Video Recor= der was connected to the DVR Station and the Video Distribution Amplifier using= RCA cables. The output from the VDA was connected to the input on the encoder. =
3) The captioner’s stenograph machine was hooked= to the captionist computer with captioning software included.
4) The video and the text input from the captionist mi= x in the encoder. The encoder adds the captions to the video.
5) The encoder was connected to the input of the Conve= rtX.
6) The ConvertX output was then connected to the lapto= p via USB/Firewire cable. The broadcast computer was running WinDVD as a mode of projecting the DVD video on the laptop.
7) The video signal was then broadcasted onto the video host’s website (www.ustream.tv). UStream relayed the video signal into the embedded video box on the end user website. The end user website is und= er www.captionyourvideos.com. The end user is able to view the video along with captions on this particular website and actively participate using the chat= box that was embedded as well.
The Experiment:
&nbs= p;
The goal of the experiment = is to devise a plan that will create captioning opportunities for students in the future. The ultimate goal is to be able to stream live video with open capt= ions onto a website where viewers can watch in real time or with a minimal delay. The following are the three major portions of the experiment we wished to complete:
First objective:
The first objective was to = receive a video signal through the Toshiba laptop. Using the WinDVD program, we were able to receive a video signal through the computer. Next, we were able to embed captions from the encoder into the video screen. Captions and videos could be recorded onto DVDs or the hard drive. (See Screenshot 1).
Second objective:
After securing a video sign= al through WinDVD, an RCA cable was attached to the output of the encoder. The= RCA cable went from the output of the encoder into the input of the digital projector. We were then able to utilize the projector to show a lecture on = the screen with real time captions as well.
Third objective:
&nbs= p; The final objective of the experiment involved streaming a live lecture across = the Internet with open captions on the video. The video was broadcast live from= the captionyourvideos.com website, under the “Professor Lectures” p= age. Video hosting was done through a third party site, ustream.tv (See Screensh= ot 2), where the video could be broadcast as well as recorded, with captions included, to the client website, www.captionyourvideos.com. (See Screenshot= s 3 and 4).
Discussion:
&nbs= p; Our experiment reveals the promising capabilities of internet video captioning services for future generations. The project was completed over a period of= 5-6 weeks, displaying the technical expertise needed in a short period of time.= Our crew consisted of approximately 4-6 individuals. Each time the hardware was assembled, we were able to improve our assembly times each week, thereby gi= ving us more time to work on the project itself.
There were many problems di= scovered throughout the project. First, the hardware and software must all be compat= ible and up to date. By using a digital video recorder with an analog encoder, we were required to use 2 converters to convert the video from digital-analog-digital. Second, the processors of the laptops were not inadequate, but they tended to freeze and slow up the computer. By using a high-powered computer, individuals may benefit in obtaining better results. Third, real time captioning requires highly specialized equipment and a highly skilled capti= oner to operate the equipment.
Despite the obstacles of the project, the video captioning objectives were completed. The website was ab= le to broadcast live video with captions embedded from captionyourvideos.com. Additionally, video signal with captions was broadcast on a classroom screen while a live lecture was being performed. The primary objectives of the pro= ject were completed. With these beginning tools, it is hopeful that the captioni= ng process can be streamlined to provide a more efficient method of captioning Internet videos.
&nbs= p; One of the parties that can benefit from Internet captioning are real-time captioners. Captioners are a vital resource in this technology since they provide the real time captioning services. By offering their services onlin= e, they have the capability of working with a professional development program= mer to create their website in which they can stream a client’s video and caption it as well. The end users will then have to register into the captioner’s website to view the video from the webcast. The service c= an be offered to a multitude of clients: educational institutions, courts, television stations, and others. The technology will also allow captionists= to reach clients in other cities or countries without ever having to leave hom= e. With this development, captioners can establish an early market share in the captioning industry and become one of the leaders in Internet video caption= ing.
&nbs= p; The use of internet captioning can be combined with other specialized equipment appearing on the market today. For example, security cameras have become hi= ghly developed that they often have their own web servers. If a security camera = is in the classroom, a cell phone may be used as a remote to control the angles that the camera is pointing. Additionally, captioners may be able to interc= ept a video signal from the security camera’s IP address and caption the video with open subtitles. As new advances are made in technology, new and innovative uses of this equipment will continue to arise.
Recommendations:
&nbs= p; After producing live Internet video with captions, there was plenty learned that could be applied to future development. The main realization from this proj= ect is the potential for future development of access for disadvantaged individ= uals over the Internet. Below are some recommendations based upon the project for future development:
1) Require regulations regarding Internet Video Captio= ning
&nbs= p; As noted earlier, the government currently does not require captioning on Inte= rnet videos. By forcing the government to enforce regulations on Internet videos, the market for Internet captioning can be opened exponentially. Forcing the government to consider legislation will require awareness from a variety of groups: the media, non-profit organizations assisting the disabled, educati= onal institutions, and individuals themselves. The government has the power to o= pen the internet captioning market, just as they did with television captioning= .
2) Streamline hardware
&nbs= p; As noted in the project, one of the cons was the amount of equipment needed to make the transmission. Using compatible hardware and software can eliminate many pieces of unnecessary equipment. If the video recorder is digital, then utilize a digital encoder and high powered computer that can control all the activities of the transmission and be able to handle the high volume of data streaming into it as well.
3) Make hardware/software compatible with each other
&nbs= p; Many of the different aspects of the hardware/software were incompatible with ea= ch other. For example, the encoder and converters would not work with a Mac computer. Many manufacturers should consider this when developing their products. In this day and age, versatility is a premium. The more operating systems the devices work with, the better the opportunity for development. =
4) Aggressively pursue further development for indepen= dence
&nbs= p; One of the major considerations that can improve Internet captioning is develop= ment for independence. By programming the website to stream live video with captions, it eliminates the need for third party video hosting. Additionall= y, the website may also be programmed to provide interactive chats between lecturer and end users. Making the website fully independent can provide a highly interactive experience for end users.
5) Market towards government and educational instituti= ons
&nbs= p; As noted earlier, once legislation requiring companies to use captioning in Internet video is passed, the market potential will become limitless. Secto= rs this technology should be applied towards include the government and educational institutions. The government can utilize this technology for a variety of purposes such as captioning hearings, public meetings, and government programs. By setting the standard and requiring other companies = to follow suit; access for the disadvantaged can be achieved.
Educational institutions ha= ve promising market potential with this developed technology. By placing cours= es online using captioned videos, they can reach a worldwide market and provid= e an unlimited number of people with the opportunity to pursue educations from distance learning or people with a finite amount of time, such as executives and other job workers. “
SUMMERY, CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATION
In summary, we have reviewed multiple perspectives on = the issues of classroom recording and streaming of contents over the WWW. We have reviewed the institut= ional perspective including issues of turning the professor into an instant publi= shed of the unedited AV and automated or manual transcript, and a variety of problems and issues technical, as well as legal and ethical. Most of these issues have not been resolved as of yet and we will deal with them in future research and development efforts.
We conclude that a lot of progress has been made recen= tly, and that the technology is rapidly maturing to a state in which much more progress can be made. However= , for now we have not yet found a single instance of integration at the level tha= t we are dealing with. Most organizations have limited amount of integration, which provide enough chal= lenges to avoid additional problems of more integration, and more problems. However, that may change in the ne= ar future as technology improves and people can cope and harness it more effectively.
We imply that in the future our vision and experiments= may be more wide spread. In the m= ean time we are going to investigate the variety of issues involved and examine= the pros and cons of such a high level of integration, among competing and sometimes conflicting interests, such as privacy, security, safety, and compliance with a variety of regulations from ADA, to SOX, to HIPPA, etc.

want you to understand the 20:22:56:03
revenue stream that will come to 20:22:57:10
the university to be able to 20:22:59:0= 0
fund it. One of the obstacles 20:23:00:18
that universities have now is 20:23:02:15
they cannot afford to put a 20:23:03:24
captioner whenever they want 20:23:05:1= 3
because it's too expensive so 20:23:06:21
what they do is try to minimize 20:23:08:27
and discourage the hearing 20:23:11:00
impaired. Unless they beg for 20:23:12:16
it, they don't give it to them. 20:23:14:07
I told them that I'm even 20:23:16:12
prepared to pay for it. But 20:23:19:09
they didn't want to let me do 20:23:20:19
that, because they said we are 20:23:22:22
afraid to set up a precedence, 20:23:24:12
because everybody will come and 20:23:27:09
demand to have a captioner 20:23:28:22
because it's prohibitively 20:23:30:21
expensive. So I told them we 20:23:32:12
are working on this project to 20:23:34:03
generate a lot more revenue so 20:23:36:19
you can fund it and have a lot 20:23:38:22
of extra cash coming to you. 20:23:40:0= 0
And the problem is that many of 20:23:42:09
them don't understand where is 20:23:43:21
the cash going to come from. 20:23:44:2= 8
so one of the sources that it's 20:23:46:21
going to come from is from the 20:23:48:21
sponsors. As you can see from 20:23:50:18
this little screen there is 20:23:52:06
overlays like 800 IBM.com. On 20:23:54:00
the bottom in green -- on the 20:23:58:06
top in green and on the bottom 20:24:01:07
there is another advertising. 20:24:04:12
This advertising is not just 20:24:05:2= 7
advertising; these are hyper 20:24:07:0= 6
texts that if you play it in a 20:24:08:28
telephone, for example, and the 20:24:11:06
telephone is equipped with 20:24:12:06
Internet access and can use 20:24:14:21 = &nb= sp; 3
Java, there will be JavaScript. 20:24:17:01
When the restaurant plays or 20:24:19:2= 7
clicks on it -- when the student 20:24:22:06
plays or clicks on it, it will 20:24:25:07
play the telephone number. 800, 20:24:27:06
IBM and allow the students to 20:24:29:21
surf to the website.&= nbsp; This is 20:24:32:13
888 DVDU.org. <= /span>So if it's a &nb= sp; 20:24:34:04
telephone device that can surf 20:24:39:21
the Internet like some of the 20:24:41:01
PDA phones, the student can 20:24:42:27
click on it, it will port them 20:24:44:27
to the website and = 20:24:47:06
simultaneously dial the 800 IBM 20:24:48:25
number so they can order stuff 20:24:52:03
from the web. All the = 20:24:56:16
commissions will go back to the 20:24:57:19
university and the professor to 20:24:59:00
fund this parole process -- 20:25:00:09
whole process. So this is why 20:25:03:03
it's important from an = 20:25:04:28
additional revenue standpoint. 20:25:06:16
That's going to fund the whole 20:25:07:24
process in addition to what I 20:25:09:18
explained to you before, about 20:25:11:06
transcribing it, editing it 20:25:13:01
professionally and making that 20:25:16:00
editorial stuff available. So 20:25:17:03
the way it will work is it will 20:25:18:27
take the raw text coming out of 20:25:20:21
the captioner.
At the end of
the class, let's say the class 20:25:23:27
end at 9:00. By
9 or 10 minutes 20:25:25:27
will be uploaded to a web server 20:25:29:19 >> What will be uploaded to a 20:25:32:27 web server? =
&nb=
sp;
20:25:34:15 >> THE PROFESSOR: The text and 20:25:36:03 the video and all this stuff 20:25:36:2=
1 that we are recording.
The &n=
bsp;
20:25:38:13 Indian counterpart will be in 20:25:39:24 India, for example, start the 20:25:43:24 morning. While
here it is 20:25:45:13 night, they will be working all 20:25:47:06 day long in India editing it, 20:25:48:21 correcting it, formatting it, 20:25:51:00 and at the end of the night our 20:25:53:16 time and at the end of the day 20:25:56:06 their time, they will be done 20:25:57:24 and they will be uploading the 20:25:59:09 edited version with a lot of 20:26:01:2=
5 =
&nb=
sp;
4 corrections and much more -- 20:26:03:2=
7 much more readable than anything 20:26:06:03 that can be done by a captioner. 20:26:08:01 Because it will have pictures 20:26:10:12 and notes from professionals 20:26:11:1=
8 with a lot of experience. And 20:26:13:24 that's going to become available 20:26:15:18 immediately as soon as they are 20:26:17:10 done, which may be in the
20:26:18:15 morning or maybe three or four 20:26:19:18 hours later. So
that =
20:26:21:15 students -- the hearing impaired 20:26:23:15 can take that and supplement it. 20:26:25:13 in addition to that, in real-time 20:26:28:15 we are also burning a DVD. So 20:26:30:03 the students at the end of the 20:26:32:16 class can take the DVD drop it 20:26:34:01 in a DVD player without a
20:26:36:24 computer at home.&nbs=
p;
Any home DVD
20:26:39:15 player that is connected to a 20:26:42:21 television, and while they are 20:26:44:24 going to sleep they can watch 20:26:47:28 already the lecture and let it 20:26:50:25 play all night long.&=
nbsp;
Sometimes 20:26:=
52:12 it will not only put them to 20:26:54:0=
0 sleep, but give them an =
20:26:55:12 opportunity to review the class. 20:26:56:25 So this is the idea.&=
nbsp;
What we're 20:26:58:10=
doing, taking the video output 20:27:00:06 directly out of the camera, by 20:27:02:12 passing all the equipment,
20:27:04:13 running it into the encoder, 20:27:05:1=
9 adding the captions in real-time, 20:27:08:15 taking the output from the
20:27:13:10 captioning and rerouting it back 20:27:15:07 into our system.
That means not 20:27:1=
7:24 only can we broadcast it in
20:27:19:24 real-time, but we can get =
20:27:21:19 multiple copies.
One copy going 20:27:2=
3:01 to the DVD another copy going to 20:27:24:27 the computer, and yet another 20:27:26:24 copy going to our hard drive. 20:27:28:15 The important thing to =
20:27:30:22 understand, we record it here in 20:27:31:21 multiple compression rates. One
20:27:38:16 of the compression rates is a 20:27:40:07 very high compression rate.
20:27:42:06 Just to give you an idea. 20 20:27:43:24 minutes that we record here in 20:27:45:13 the class in HD-- mean high
20:27:46:13 =
&nb=
sp;
5 definition video -- will take 2 20:27:48:24 gig. Ano=
ther
level of =
20:27:51:21 compression is about 100 times 20:27:53:28 more compressed.
So instead of
20:27:56:15 taking 2 gig for 20 minutes, it 20:27:58:06 will take 2 gigs for about eight 20:28:00:21 hours. T=
hat high
compression 20:28:04:06 level is recording it directly 20:28:06:03 to a memory stick, and that is 20:28:07:15 another thing that we can do. 20:28:09:04 We can hand them a memory stick 20:28:10:22 and they can pop the memory
20:28:12:21 stick into a telephone that has 20:28:15:24 a memory stick device in it. 20:28:17:0=
3 The only difference is you see 20:28:19:25 the picture is small.=
This is
20:28:22:06 the size of picture that will 20:28:23:09 play on a telephone.&=
nbsp;
It will be 20:28:24:18=
perfect resolution for a =
20:28:26:01 telephone. It
will not be very 20:28:=
27:27 good if you use it on an HD
20:28:29:18 television and you make it very 20:28:32:03 large. B=
ut that
will give the
20:28:33:13 ability to the student that is 20:28:36:15 hearing impaired to walk away 20:28:39:00 from the class with an SD card, 20:28:41:00 which is a secure digital card. 20:28:45:15 Do you have any card laying
20:28:47:27 around? =
Here you
can see
20:28:49:03 inside, you can see these little 20:28:57:27 cards inside are called SD
20:29:00:10 cards. T=
hese
little memory
20:29:02:18 cards. T=
he
important thing to
20:29:04:06 understand is the compression is 20:29:05:18 optimized for memory cards,
20:29:07:06 which means you can take a
20:29:09:13 memory card like that, pop it 20:29:10:24 into your telephone that has a 20:29:12:15 memory card slot, and you will 20:29:14:00 have the whole lecture on that. 20:29:16:10 You don't even have to have a 20:29:17:25 DVD player. So
if it goes out, 20:29:1=
9:15 if it works in another job as a 20:29:21:27 night guard or some other job 20:29:24:01 that lets him watch a telephone, 20:29:25:16 he takes the SD card with a
20:29:29:06 lecture, click it and he will 20:29:31:25 get inside his telephone not 20:29:34:0=
0 only the video of the lecture, 20:29:35:12 but also the caption of the
20:29:36:27 =
&nb=
sp;
6 lecture. That is
another avenue 20:29:38:00 of dealing with the hearing
20:29:39:16 impaired. And
now he can watch 20:29:=
42:00 the class on his telephone and 20:29:43:24 see the captions in the =
20:29:46:24 telephone. What
is the problem? 20:29:48:04
>> We're having now problems 20:30:03:0=
0 with uStream =
&nb=
sp;
20:30:04:12 >> THE PROFESSOR: but now we 20:30:08:0=
4 have a copy on the hard drive 20:30:08:19 with the captions for you. So 20:30:10:09 you don't have to use that.
20:30:11:18 This is the point I was trying 20:30:13:24 to explain. This
system will be 20:30:15:16 much more robust, so if the
20:30:18:00 computer doesn't work, there 20:30:19:2=
4 will be no way that everything 20:30:21:09 will not work at the same time. 20:30:22:12 >> And also here you need
20:30:24:07 Internet connectivity =
20:30:25:27 >> Right.
Here you don't.
20:30:28:27 >> So sometimes when the =
20:30:30:15 Internet goes down -- =
20:30:31:19 >> David:
This will just be to
20:30:33:13 broadcast =
&nb=
sp;
20:30:36:00 >> THE PROFESSOR: but many times 20:30:37:12 you will want to broadcast. But
20:30:38:09 at least you will have backups 20:30:39:25 on DVD backup also on a hard 20:30:41:2=
5 drive =
&nb=
sp;
20:30:45:03 >> And this device can =
20:30:45:06 broadcast. This
is a Wi-Fi &n=
bsp;
20:30:48:04 device. =
Our hard
drive has &nb=
sp;
20:30:50:27 Wi-Fi connectivity.&n=
bsp;
Which means 20:30:52:1=
8 we can upload or broadcast from 20:30:54:15 here without a computer just in 20:30:56:16 the event that all the computers 20:30:58:18 don't work, we can go directly 20:31:00:00 from this device to the Internet 20:31:01:24 without having a computer.
20:31:03:19 >> So we're trying all different 20:31:07:18 methods here.
That's why we 20:31:09:1=
8 need backup and recovery =
20:31:11:13 methods. =
&nb=
sp;
20:31:13:04 it also, this system is good for 20:31:14:00 backup and recovery.&=
nbsp;
It's good 20:31:=
16:00 for archiving.
Also think about 20:31=
:18:12 the example of Katrina, Tulane 20:31:21:19 University was out of commission 20:31:25:24 for a semester.
What happens to 20:31:=
28:00 =
&nb=

They don't want 20:31:=
29:28 to lose those students because 20:31:31:21 if they transfer to another
20:31:33:12 university, they may just decide 20:31:35:24 to stay in that university. 20:3=
1:38:04 Here I can capture those =
20:31:39:18 students and say:&nbs=
p;
At least take 20:31:41=

are on, they are 20:31:45:01<=
/p>
archived, those classes. =
20:31:47:24 Because a lot of times they were 20:31:49:18 disbursed also to faculty
20:31:50:27 members. You can
do it for &nb=
sp;
20:31:54:10 short periods of time and use it 20:31:56:06 for continuity measure.
So in
20:31:57:18 disaster recovery and =
20:31:59:21 continuity, you can perform just 20:32:00:21 as well. =
&nb=
sp;
20:32:04:12 >> This is another issue that I 20:32:04:27 wanted to explain to you. Right 20:32:05:27 now universities are saying: 20:32:07:1=
5 What do I care about these ADA 20:32:09:04 people? =
I'm
going to do the &nb=
sp;
20:32:11:06 minimum that I need to do with 20:32:12:12 compliance and let them go to 20:32:13:24 other schools or whatever they 20:32:15:12 want to do, because I cannot 20:32:16:1=
5 afford to spend so much money 20:32:18:04 for captioning. =
20:32:20:03 but what we are telling them, 20:32:21:03 from now on it's not only going 20:32:23:21 to be for ADA students, what you 20:32:25:28 are going to do is take the 20:32:27:22 videos and store the videos
20:32:29:06 off-site. In the
event of a
20:32:31:00 disaster, that the whole =
20:32:33:28 university is submerged, you are 20:32:35:01 going to lose a lot of money 20:32:36:2=

And a lot
20:32:47:24 of professors couldn't afford to 20:32:48:21 stand a couple semesters without 20:32:51:10 income. =
So they
went to another 20:32:53:21
university. In
the meantime the 20:32:55:09<=

university lost a lot of money 20:32:57:03 =
&nb=

students were 20:33:07:=

But what really
20:33:11:09 matters to the university is the 20:33:13:06 bottom line and the cash. They 20:33:14:06 couldn't recover the money. 20:33:16:1=
6 Those students are lost for good 20:33:17:24 and the professors are lost for 20:33:19:12 good. Wh=
at we
are telling them 20:33:=
21:09 to do instead, what we will do 20:33:22:16 is take the videos from last 20:33:24:0=
1 semester.
Repurpose them for 20:33:26:06 the next semester and tell the 20:33:27:15 students: Don't
worry about it. 20:33:29:09
If we have a disaster the 20:33:30:28 university is submerged. We are 20:33:32:22 going to switch instantly to 20:33:34:1=
2 online. =
All the
videos from
20:33:36:15 last semester will be used as 20:33:40:01 substitute for the current

/p>
free on the Internet and the 20:33:45:1=

don't have to go 20:33:=
49:06 to another university. =
20:33:50:27 Professors will get paid and 20:33:52:0=

Skype =
20:34:00:12 cast -- the professors will

will make =

get the videos for free and you 20:34:17:21 will be able to get all the

20:34:22:24 =
&nb=

20:34:27:25 professors that need the money 20:34:29:18 don't have to worry about us 20:34:31:1=

You will get paid
20:34:34:13 just the same.
You will just &nbs=
p;
20:34:37:06 have to designate an alternate 20:34:38:09 place where you will move and 20:34:40:18 have an alternate e-mail and 20:34:41:2=
4 everything else will continue as 20:34:43:25 usual. T=
he only
difference is
20:34:45:12 we will not run it from the
20:34:47:06 computers in the university. 20:34:48:2=
1 Because they will be submerged. 20:34:49:19 Instead, well have an alternate 20:34:51:19 location that is out of the
20:34:53:21 hurricane disaster area. So for 20:34:54:18 example, if I'm Tulane =
20:34:56:03 University in New Orleans or 20:34:57:1=
3 whatever disaster area it is, 20:34:59:25 the alternate place will have to 20:35:01:03 be a place that is far away from 20:35:02:21 a hurricane area like let's say 20:35:04:12 New York City or Montana or
20:35:06:16 Hawaii, or another location. 20:35:08:1=
2 And instantly, as soon as the 20:35:10:24 university is submerged, the 20:35:12:1=
2 whole university switches to the 20:35:14:16 alternate location and continues 20:35:15:22 with the backup and recovery 20:35:17:0=
6 plan just the same.&n=
bsp;
And then
20:35:20:09 they will say:
Hey, this is 20:35:22:0=
4 another story now.&nb=
sp;
Now you're
20:35:23:25 telling us that while we comply 20:35:25:18 with ADA we're also securing our 20:35:27:09 cash flow in the event of a
20:35:29:18 hurricane and this becomes part 20:35:30:28 of our business continuity
20:35:32:07 backup and recovery plan. And 20:35:34:09 for that we spend millions of 20:35:36:06 dollars anyway.
So we will just 20:35:=
37:28 take this and then we integrate 20:35:39:10 also the recording, we don't 20:35:41:1=
2 need to have a cameraman because 20:35:44:06 we will use the surveillance and 20:35:46:06 recording system.&nbs=
p;
And that will 20:35:48=
:18 prevent disasters like Virginia 20:35:49:27 tech where someone comes into a 20:35:53:00 =
&nb=
sp;
10 class, kills a couple of people 20:35:54:25 at the university premises, then 20:35:56:27 goes off campus, companies back 20:36:01:00 two -- comes back two hours
20:36:03:22 later and slaughters another 30 20:36:06:00 people. =
Right
now we have to
20:36:07:24 secure our surveillance and
20:36:09:00 security system in the event 20:36:10:22 somebody kills a couple =
20:36:12:18 students, immediately the
20:36:13:24 surveillance system will kick 20:36:14:24 in, alert the authorities in 20:36:17:0=
9 real-time.
Announce on loud
20:36:20:00 speakers there is shooting in 20:36:21:15 102 in the Jenkins building. 20:36:23:1=
2 Please do not come in.
Inside
20:36:25:25 the general building there 20:36:27:16 will be speakers that will
20:36:29:09 announce to the killer:
We are 20:36:30:=
15 watching you on our telephone in 20:36:31:27 real-time. The
police is waiting 20:36:33:13=
outside, please lay down the 20:36:34:2=
5 arms and stop shooting and
20:36:36:21 everything will end up =
20:36:38:24 peacefully. Just
as an =
20:36:40:00 insurance policy, a lot of
20:36:41:09 universities have to spend a 20:36:42:1=
6 huge amount of money.=
But they 20:36:4=
4:07 don't think about the idea of 20:36:45:21 complying with ADA compliance 20:36:47:12 and instructional materials. So
20:36:49:19 all we are telling them is why 20:36:51:04 not kill three birds with one 20:36:53:09 stone: T=
ake care
of the ADA,
20:36:55:03 take dare of the -- care of the 20:36:57:09 distance learning and your
20:36:59:25 security needs, and your =
20:37:01:00 business continuity, backup and 20:37:02:06 recovery all at once.=
And that 20:37:0=
4:15 way you pay once, you get all 20:37:06:00 the objectives done, and you get 20:37:08:01 in addition to that, the =
20:37:10:03 real-time transcription. Even 20:37:11:15 translation and editing. And 20:37:14:06 when your transcription comes to 20:37:16:22 India, let's say, it is =
20:37:19:00 inexpensive enough to get also 20:37:20:27 translation added to it. =
20:37:22:25 so when the edited DVD comes 20:37:25:1=
2 out, not only will it have
20:37:28:09 =
&nb=
sp;
11 edited subtitles and captions, 20:37:30:19 but it will also have multiple 20:37:33:12 language and DVD you can have up 20:37:35:21 to seven different languages. 20:37:37:21 Which means if the lecture is 20:37:39:28 done in English, for example, 20:37:41:12 the Indian can produce =
20:37:42:27 another -- take the captioning 20:37:45:24 English an translate it to
20:37:47:10 Spanish. Let's
say the top five 20:37:49:09<=
/p>
languages. For
example, =
20:37:52:00 Spanish, Arabic, Chinese and 20:37:53:0=
9 Indian. =
And then
the DVD that
20:37:56:04 will come out of them will be 20:37:58:15 much more saleable in India. We
20:38:00:12 are talking about a billion
20:38:02:13 people. =
In
China, another
20:38:03:28 billion people, and in Latin 20:38:05:1=
5 America plus Spain and all the 20:38:07:06 Spanish countries, another
20:38:09:15 billion people and another
20:38:10:25 billion Arabs.
So you are
20:38:12:04 talking about -- that's making 20:38:14:15 it tremendous, especially since 20:38:21:00 this university that will do it 20:38:23:00 will have a monopoly worldwide 20:38:24:06 that the whole worldwide will 20:38:27:25 catch up and it will be a huge 20:38:30:00 sensation, from a PR standpoint. 20:38:31:18 So that's basically the idea of 20:38:34:00 leveraging the ADA and combining 20:38:36:07 it with a bunch of other things. 20:38:38:18 And then the expense of hiring a 20:38:40:24 captioner looks like nothing 20:38:42:1=
2 compared to all the benefits and 20:38:44:04 the stream of cash flow that the 20:38:45:16 university can experience.
20:38:47:00 the problem is that you have 20:38:48:0=
6 professors that will be =
20:38:49:09 reluctant like I'm a law 20:38:50:13 professor and I'm paranoid about 20:38:53:07 my intellectual properties and I 20:38:55:03 will object to that.&=
nbsp;
So you
20:38:57:12 come to the professor and tell 20:38:58:27 them: Lo=
ok, now
your little
20:39:00:22 concerns about intellectual
20:39:02:24 properties are nothing compared 20:39:04:12 to the amount of money that you 20:39:05:21 will may if -- first of all, you 20:39:06:18 will become an instant author. 20:39:10:18 =
&nb=
sp;
12 As soon as we take the =
20:39:13:03 transcript and edit it and
20:39:13:27 publish it, you will be the
20:39:15:19 author. =
So
without doing
20:39:17:01 anything besides your measly 20:39:19:0=
3 lecture, now you will be paid 20:39:20:27 royalties for every sale that we 20:39:22:24 make. So=
this
law professor
20:39:24:16 that typically will be objecting 20:39:26:15 to it because he thinks this 20:39:28:2=
1 will be infringing on my book 20:39:31:06 that I'm going to write. Now he 20:39:34:03 gets editorial royalty, and the 20:39:36:09 publisher and the university 20:39:40:0=
4 will have the incentive -- the 20:39:42:00 university will get a cut from 20:39:44:15 all the sales also.&n=
bsp;
So there 20:39:45:24 will be huge incentive for them 20:39:47:04 to help promote it and then the 20:39:49:07 expense that they pay to the 20:39:51:1=
2 captioner will look like nothing 20:39:52:15 compared to the huge revenues, 20:39:54:21 especially since there are very 20:39:56:25 little expenses since it comes 20:39:58:15 out of the existing surveillance 20:40:00:06 system. =
So that
is basically
20:40:02:06 some of the ideas that we are 20:40:03:16 working with, and when the 20:40:04:19 university fully sees that it 20:40:07:06 works, they will be only glad to 20:40:08:27 extend it to the other classes, 20:40:11:25 regardless of the idea or not 20:40:13:04 and that will make it a lot
20:40:15:27 better. =
Because
instead of the 20:40:17=
:18 ADA compliance that is the
20:40:19:19 minimum that you will be =
20:40:21:15 giving -- they will be giving 20:40:22:18 you, you will have DVDs, =
20:40:24:18 different languages, and it will 20:40:26:25 be much better quality than just 20:40:28:04 an unedited version.&=
nbsp;
You will
20:40:30:03 have an edited version =
20:40:31:27 illustrated and so on.
At the
20:40:33:21 most one night after the =
20:40:35:13 recording will be done. =
20:40:36:16 >> But there's another area that 20:40:37:24 can be added, and that is
20:40:42:18 computer assisted adaptive
20:40:44:10 testing.
Remember we talked 20:40:47:0=
6 about recording clips, and on 20:40:48:27 =
&nb=
sp; 13 the DVD we break down into a 20:40:51:0=
4 one-minute clip, and we've -- we 20:40:54:27 can create, then, a pre-text 20:40:58:2=
1 of -- a pre-test of questions, 20:41:01:19 and we can map the clips to the 20:41:05:12 questions. =
&nb=
sp;
20:41:08:06 so when a student gets one of 20:41:08:22 the questions incorrectly, they 20:41:10:15 can request, then, to get an 20:41:13:1=
8 explanation from the video to 20:41:15:18 explain their deficiencies.
20:41:19:18 >> And we can demonstrate it, 20:41:23:03 since we can use this monitor, 20:41:25:19 if you go to -- if you can go to 20:41:27:07 free .com and go to the section 20:41:32:12 on free.com to see a sample of 20:41:35:07 this test, we will demonstrate 20:41:40:21 to you a sample of this test. 20:41:43:16 Sam can you turn off the lights 20:41:46:18 a little bit so we can see the 20:41:48:06 screen here.
Something happened
20:41:50:01 to our computer here. =
20:41:56:03 okay. Wh=
at we
are trying to do 20:42:=
10:04 now is we are trying to browse 20:42:11:21 to free.com to demonstrate to 20:42:13:06 you this testing system. By the 20:42:16:12 way, this test, since it is
20:42:18:04 written in the Java programming 20:42:20:06 language, will run off a =
20:42:21:21 telephone. So
let's say that
20:42:23:15 the disabled person wants to 20:42:24:1=
8 practice after the class. He 20:42:26:10 doesn't have to even have a 20:4=
2:29:15 computer. Go
under free.com and 20:42:31:0=
6 see the section, the button on 20:42:35:22 the left-hand side that is
20:42:37:03 listing internal control eval is 20:42:38:24 the second button from the top 20:42:42:10 or the third one. And inside it 20:42:44:12 scroll down to the point that 20:42:48:03 you see a video -- what is it 20:42:49:06 called? =
&nb=
sp;
20:42:51:25 >> 1 secure policy video.
20:42:53:03 >> Click on it, and it will open 20:42:57:28 a screen which is a test. This 20:43:00:21 screen in the upper left corner 20:43:02:15 has a place to put your name. 20:43:04:15 Type your student name there. 20:43:06:00 Let me put on my glasses because 20:43:10:09 I cannot see one thing that I'm 20:43:13:00 =
&nb=
sp;
14 trying to aim at.&nbs=
p;
So now I can
20:43:14:21 see it. =
You see
that there is a 20:43:17:00
little space on the top where 20:43:18:18 the student is going to type 20:43:20:0=
0 their name.
Okay. Lee. And 20:43:22:00 now you see there is a question. 20:43:27:03 The first question reads:
20:43:28:18 Service provider documented
20:43:31:09 security policies, plans and so 20:43:33:07 on. Let'=
s say
that the student 20:43:=
36:09 answer is going to be true. So 20:43:38:00 click T. for true.&nb=
sp;
Notice that
20:43:40:04 underneath the question there is 20:43:42:07 a little thumbnail.&n=
bsp;
Click on
20:43:44:09 the thumbnail.
What that will
20:43:45:27 do is open a video that shows 20:43:48:04 the professor explaining the 20:43:50:0=
0 question. So
this is a video,
20:43:51:18 and you see the little =
20:43:53:06 advertising promotion there or 20:43:54:15 sponsor 305 ontrial.org, which 20:43:56:01 is advertising a telephone
20:44:01:03 number and website.&n=
bsp;
You can see 20:44:04:2=
8 that this video will have
20:44:06:12 captions too.
And just for the
20:44:08:03 sake of speed, let's go to the 20:44:09:15 end. We =
are
going to skip the 20:44:12:16 last two questions.&n=
bsp;
Close the
20:44:14:04 video. A=
nd go to
the end.
20:44:15:27 That's more questions that we 20:44:17:27 will skip on purpose.=
Notice
20:44:20:10 that at the end there is a
20:44:21:16 button check my work.=
You click 20:44:23:12<=
/p>
on check my work and it will 20:44:26:0=
3 tell you -- leave the message 20:44:27:21 for a second. <=
/span>It
will tell you, 20:44:29:28 you did not complete blah blah 20:44:31:06 blah. We=
know,
say okay. And 20:44:33:09 it will give you your grade. Go
20:44:35:06 to the top and see that our
20:44:36:25 grade is 33% out of 100. Now 20:44:39:06 know when we go to the end it 20:44:42:18 has also remedial information so 20:44:45:10 there is another hyperlink that 20:44:47:24 will explain to you if you click 20:44:49:21 on it -- and I took out the
20:44:51:09 video, so if you click on it, it 20:44:52:28 will not play the video because 20:44:54:22 I didn't have space on my =
20:44:56:15 server. =
But it
will play
20:44:58:12 =
&nb=
sp;
15 another video that explains to 20:45:00:06 you why it is important. In 20:45:01:2=
2 this case it deals with the SOX 20:45:03:07 that's Sarbanes Oxley =
20:45:08:00 compliance. This
is a -- it
20:45:09:22 will apply equally to any test. 20:45:18:07 The hearing impaired students 20:45:20:15 can take this from an SD card. 20:45:21:24 Put the SD card inside the
20:45:25:04 telephone, listen to the =
20:45:27:24 lecture, then take the test and 20:45:28:18 when he's done with the test you 20:45:30:18 see that the score was 33%. He 20:45:32:09 can either gain connectivity 20:45:35:2=
7 from the phone and upload this 20:45:38:06 to the server or take the SD 20:45:41:2=
5 card and connect it to a =
20:45:44:12 computer and upload the score to 20:45:46:03 the server this way and do his 20:45:47:27 quiz and homework that way off 20:45:50:01 of a phone. And
that is an &n=
bsp;
20:45:51:18 example of a test that will be 20:45:53:24 generated pretty much =
20:45:56:09 automatically off of the videos 20:45:58:10 of the class. =
20:46:00:00 the way the program works, it 20:46:01:27 takes the text that the =
20:46:03:15 captioner produces, it parses 20:46:05:04 the text, and it find statements 20:46:06:25 in the text that -- and it makes 20:46:09:15 true/false questions out of it. 20:46:12:09 It takes the statement as it is 20:46:14:28 and then becomes a true/false 20:46:16:15 question whose answer is true, 20:46:19:24 and then it reverses it, and it 20:46:21:10 makes out of that a true/false 20:46:23:16 question whose answer is false. 20:46:26:00 and this is the way that it
20:46:28:00 automatically builds up a test, 20:46:29:22 just from the text that the
20:46:32:12 captioner types in.&n=
bsp;
And then of 20:46:33:1=
2 course in India they can take it 20:46:35:12 and already edit it a little 20:46:37:0=
4 more and make a more =
20:46:38:25 sophisticated test.&n=
bsp;
But that
20:46:41:06 already costs more money and 20:46:43:1=
5 takes longer.
But you saw an &nb=
sp;
20:46:44:24 example and demonstration of the 20:46:47:01 test that we were talking about 20:46:48:27 >> So what our project is
20:46:50:09 =
&nb=
sp;
16 focusing in is reducing the
20:46:52:06 costs. =
&nb=
sp;
20:46:55:07 >> And increasing the revenue. 20:46:57:27 >> And also getting it to market 20:47:00:03 quickly. So by
the end of the
20:47:02:06 evening, you already have a DVD 20:47:03:28 produced in raw form.=
You
20:47:07:12 already have the archive. You 20:47:09:15 already have the broadcast
20:47:12:01 >> And you also have the test 20:47:13:27 >> And you have the test. We 20:47:15:09 have problems of connection. Do
20:47:28:25 you want to turn off the Sony, a 20:47:30:01 DVD to see if it would work? 20:47:32:2=
7 The previous camera we were
20:48:10:04 using was HD camera.&=
nbsp;
The video 20:48:=
13:18 signal is much stronger. This 20:48:16:03 is standard definition video, 20:48:17:22 and the standard definition
20:48:19:15 video, the signal is not quite 20:48:21:00 as strong. So
when you have
20:48:22:27 multiple devices, the signal is 20:48:24:15 not that strong.
It cannot --
20:48:28:09 many times it cannot get to the 20:48:30:12 computer. And we
had problems
20:48:32:00 getting it to the computer even 20:48:34:10 when we didn't have all the
20:48:37:03 equipment connected.&=
nbsp;
So =
20:48:38:21 standard definition video signal 20:48:42:13 is not quite as strong as high 20:48:44:07 definition, and that gave us 20:48:46:0=
0 trouble in the past. =
20:48:48:27 Unfortunately our HD camera went 20:48:50:01 out. Tem=
porarily
hopefully. I 20:48:52:15 will fix it later.&nb=
sp;
But I tried
20:48:54:27 to fix it within the five
20:48:56:15 minutes in the break, and I
20:48:58:07 couldn't. =
&nb=
sp;
20:48:59:10 >> So I think this concludes. 20:49:02:03 >> This concludes the =
20:49:05:21 presentation and we will upload 20:49:07:07 our video here, and it will be 20:49:08:22 available for distribution. It 20:49:10:21 will be available for =
20:49:13:24 distribution within 10, 20
20:49:14:25 minutes after the class. =
20:49:17:15 Now to explain this equipment 20:49:48:18 here. If=
you
don't mind one &nbs=
p;
20:49:50:09 more time, I would like to aim 20:49:51:15 the camera on so we can explain 20:49:53:09 =
&nb=
sp;
17 all this equipment.&n=
bsp;
So this is 20:49=
