A MediaMixer for online learning? – making learning materials more valuable for their owner and more useful for their consumer

MediaMixer is an EU funded project to support organisations in enhancing their media contents to create greater value and extend their reach across customers, consumers and the media value chain. MediaMixer promotes new technologies which enable the fragmentation of media items into distinct parts which can be re-purposed and re-sold. In this talk, project coordinator Dr Lyndon Nixon will outline the MediaMixer vision for enabling a richer online learning experience through meaningful mashups of recorded video. This will be grounded in trends within the e-learning community to create and re-use increasing amounts of media assets and backed up with a look at the limitations of current media technology solutions. He will demonstrate how MediaMixer can support interested organisations to adopt and use new technology for working with audiovisual media on the basis of an existing mashup implementation with video from the VideoLectures.NET platform.
