Dear Ksenia, Roger and Tapio:
(1) Many thanks for your msgs (ATTACHMENT I, II, III and IV).
Dear E-Colleagues:

Schedules and URLs of the multicasting videoconferencing on May 26th
This can be accessed at the URL mentioned at the top of
this msg.
This multicasting videoconferencing was held on May 26th
at the occasions of the following conferences;
(a) ÒMedia
Skills and Competence ConferenceÓ at the University of Tampere, Finland
<http://www.uta.fi/conference/mediaskills/>
and
(b) ÒKnowledge Society Challenges for e-LearningÓ at the Kaunas University of
Technology in Lithuania
<http://www.distance.ktu.lt/vim>
(3) I am very happy to report you that our event was highly successful with the
use of broadband Internet — at almost free of charge. It was
possible thanks to the extraordinary efforts made by many people, as connecting
the followings;
The video streams were sent to a bridge at the University of Helsinki which
re-distributed to other participating locations. The video and audio were
also accessible at the webs located at CorStar, Green Sphere, Houston Community
College, and the University of Helsinki.
We at
Green Sphere accessed the web at the University of Helsinki and received superb
quality audio and video.
Dear Prof. Baniulis, Tapio, Elena, Roger and Ksenia:
(4) Many thanks for your excellent and very impressive presentations.
Your video, audio and slide presentations came out very well.
Roger:
Thanks also
for the photo of mine you captured during the session which is attached to this
distribution (filename: helsinki1.doc).
Dear Frank, Roy, Bob, Airina, Donatas, Tiina, Ville, Sami, and Oleg:
(5) Many
thanks to you, too, for your providing complete technical support and
coordination to this event.
We really appreciated VilleÕs introduction to Sami who kindly provided us with
his bridge — without it, this event was certainly impossible.
Oleg, sorry you could not connect at that time due to some fire incident in
Moscow, but I am sure you can connect next time for Dr. AvetisovaÕs
presentation.
Pls
tell her that I took the liberty of uploading her following very interesting
paper with Ksenia to our web together with my last list distribution mentioned
in the Item (2) above;
Avetisova,
K. and K. Avetisova,
ÒProblems of Reforming the System of Higher Education in Russian Federation
based on forming the Key Competences of the Technical University GraduateÓ
Dear E-Colleagues:
(6) Significance of this event was that anyone around the world could receive
such high quality video/audio at anywhere, if they had broadband Internet
without much difficulties and costs — even at a bus stop if it is covered
by the so-called ÒcloudÓ of broadband WiFi connection.
I
conducted many ÒGlobal Lecture Hall (GLH)Ó multipoint-to-multipoint, multimedia
interactive videoconferencing spanning around the globe once or twice every
year over a dozen years since late 1980s — see Chapter 2 of my following
draft book;
ÒElectronic Global University System and ServicesÓ
http://www.friends-partners.org/GLOSAS/Bookwriting/Contents_of_Book.html
These
GLHs were made mostly with analog satellite broadcasting approach. The
participants and viewers had to come to well equipped viewing room with studio,
satellite dish antenna and tranceiver at nearby universities.
YesterdayÕs event showed that such expensive and inconvenient approach is now
completely unnecessary.
(7) A snag was about showing PowerPoint slides.
For example, when my slides were inserted between video stream of me, the
characters on the slides were often fuzzy or burned out, especially when they
were shown on a conventional analog type TV screen.
This was circumvented at Tampere as showing audiences the slides (which I sent
to them before) with a PC and a projector in a separate set-up, in parallel to
the video they received from New York.
Frank, then suggested that we should produce such video stream with High
Definition TV (HDTV) format next time, which can be shown on the computer
screen.
Anyway, audio and slide are the more important than video for e-learning, and
computer screen has higher resolution than TV screen.
This fact can be seen in RogerÕs web site in ATTACHMENT III. RogerÕs presentation was
also superb, as using both video and slide presentations through two separate
web sites — in a sense, showing the future direction of videoconferencing
for e-learning.
In other words, we need digital broadband Internet — and this is why we
are putting our efforts to create GUS in various developing countries for
e-learning and e-healthcare/telemedicine.
(8) This need of digital broadband Internet would become more prominent when
GRID networking technology with distributed computer simulation system would
become the next phase of Internet development for e-learning to foster the
creativity of youngsters around the world for promoting mutual understanding
among them and hence global peace — see;

University System with Globally Collaborative Innovation Network

(9) Many thanks again, all presenters, coordinators, and tech support people,
for your wonderful contributions to this successful event. Hope see you
again at a similar event next time.
Best, Tak

This
may interest you, we are doing a fourth version of this workshop 4 June:
http://tc1.hccs.edu/hist/yr04/titlev/
Particularly the list of "Demonstrations" clickable fromt the
left side menu will interest you, real media streams playable on MAC, they show
the kind of content that can be (easily!) created to go across the
internet with today's tools. I call particular attention to this link
relating to mathematics instruction: http://tc1.hccs.edu/hist/yr04/titlev/jacky/jacky_work.htm
