Abstract:
This paper discusses video contents in WebELS e-learning platform for post-graduate education and
proposes ideas for automatic video support. WebELS provides a web-based, multi-platform tool, by which
traditional instructors can archive their learning materials on the web and students can do their personal
learning over the Internet. Uploaded contents can be used either in standalone or group learning in real-time
with discussion. WebELS supports contents with text, images, audio and video. However, VIDEO, because
of its nature and high volume of involved data causes series of problems regarding its capturing, uploading,
transmission, downloading, viewing, code conversion, compression and so on. The vision of this paper is to
discuss the WebELS editor and propose ideas to support PowerPoint presentation material with video
created by standard PowerPoint presentation editor, for example Microsoft PowerPoint with an explanation
of video pre-processing and video handling.
