Web based “face2face like” learning experiences – Jack Barockas, Tel Aviv University

The Tel Aviv University (TAU) Computing Division has been running, for the past few years, an academic course video recording project. The main objective of this project is to create a web based “face to face like” learning environment to support the study of frontal academic courses. By using this environment, students can extend their learning hours around the clock while they are at home (learning anytime, anywhere). Students with learning disabilities and accessibility problems can gain special benefit out of this environment. The level of content recording, as of last semester, is over 1500 video recording hours per semester. This large recording capacity is achieved by means of a “distributed content production” model and the use of recording techniques developed at the TAU Computing Division (TAU–CD).
