VLMigrator: a tool for migrating legacy video lectures to multimedia learning objects

Published: 23 May 2006 Publication History

Abstract

In this paper we propose a tool, named VLMigrator, for interactively restructuring a lecture and the associated Powerpoint presentation into one or more multimedia Learning Objects. It also enables to fill the Learning Object metadata by automatically extracting information from the Powerpoint presentation. To easily perform these tasks, the VLMigrator interface exploits continuous semantic zooming and visual contextualization of information.
