Thin and Light Video Editing Extensions for Education with Opencast Matterhorn

Abstract

This paper presents the current state of our research project which aims to give users a simple, easy to use, and computationally light way of creating mashups of lecture content within the Opencast Matter horn lecture capture system. The system modifies the playback components of Matter horn to deliver thin and light video clipping functionality without requiring installation of any additional software. We plan to make use of the extensive logging framework built into Matter horn to examine the effects of this tool on learner engagement.
