LODE is a software for low-cost acquisition of lectures (specially if based on slide presentations). The (good quality) audio and video (640x480 pixels, interpolated) can be accompanied by images of the slides projected in class (for Power-Point-based lectures), and by tools for navigating the lecture (by section title, by other indexes or through a time-bar). LODE also allows attaching arbitrary documents to any point of the lecture. Also, it allows producing DVDs with a whole course on it (a full 50 hours course nicely fits on a single DVD). Single lectures can also be downloaded from the internet.

The advantages provided by the system include:

the ability for worker students to attend regular lectures, breaking space and time barriers;
the ability for all students to recover lectures lost due to forced absence (e.g. illness);
the possibility to chose a non-standard temporal organization, deciding not to be present at some lecture (elective absence);
support for foreign students who might have difficulties with the Italian language (they would benefit from the possibility of re-hearing portions of lectures);
symmetric support for Italian students attending to courses given in English (as presently are all the higher level courses – Laurea Magistralis);
the possibility to review fragments of a lecture at any time, to check own notes and understanding.

The system was developed at the Università di Trento by Marco Ronchetti's group (see [[credits]]) partially as a tol to be used within the EASTWEB project.

It was used to record the 246 hours of videolectures available to the consortium partners.

The software is released for free - please see the dedicated web site to have more information.

SASTAR Workshop

Marco Ronchetti marco.ronchetti@unitn.it — Thu, 7 May 2009 12:01:00 +0200

Industrial and Academic Network > SASTAR Workshop

SASTAR Workhop was the folow-up of the FIRST workshop. It shared with FIRST the same goals and objectives.

Proceedings of the SASTAR workshop were published in the book “The Semantic Web: a view on data integration, reasoning, human factors, collective intelligence and technology adoption”, Marco Ronchetti editor. The 294 pages book, that also includes the proceedings of other workshops held at ASWC2008, was published by AIT e-Press (ISBN 978-947-8257-64-8). The entire book is also available in our Digital Library (see the tab above).

Please see the SASTAR WEB SITE for more information.
