Web technologies and standards for the delivery of recorded presentations

摘要

Computer-based recording of live presentations has become a widespread way of producing content material for e-learning in both higher education institutions and companies. The success of e-learning projects crucially depends on the acceptance by the end-users working with these materials, i.e., learners but also administrators. From their point of view, the choice of formats used for distribution is a crucial issue, regarding network delivery and Web-based replay. We present the key factors from the end-user's perspective and discuss a number of widespread and standard formats with respect to their suitability for today's Web-based e-learning.
