Video Networks in an Electronic Classroom Environment and Analysis of Student Preferences in the Development of a Network- Based Video Distribution System.
Gordonov, Anatoliy; Kress, Michael; Carlin, Marianne
Faculty experience at the College of Staten Island--City University of New York shows that Hybrid Analog Digital Networks (ADViNet) prove to be useful in the classroom environment. They support major instructional activities, and are very efficient in the distribution of full-screen motion video and other graphical images. The ADViNet does not introduce extra traffic in the local area network, and does not slow down other network operations. The use of a video network is an efficient and effective teaching tool in those courses where the course content is completely new to the students, requiring extensive use of lecture and presentations from visual sources. In advanced classes, laboratories, and seminars, video networks have prove productive for modeling, individual and group tutoring, and monitoring. Student surveys suggest that the students like to take classes in a classroom equipped with a video network. They prefer video networks to other systems of video distribution (such as big screens) and consider it an effective teaching tool. (SWC)
