Resumo(s)
Hoje em dia, o avanço tecnológico em termos de hardware e software fez mudar, ao longo
dos anos, o paradigma da forma como aprendemos e comunicamos conhecimento. O que
antes parecia inacessível, está agora disponível em questão de segundos. Foi o nascer
desta forma de comunicar que fez com que adaptássemos a forma como transmitimos
conhecimento.
Não há dúvida que essas tecnologias vieram para ficar no ensino. Os conteúdos digitais
são cada vez mais utilizados pelos docentes para disponibilizar materiais para o auxílio à
lecionação das aulas. Um dos conteúdos que tem vindo a ganhar terreno é o vídeo, pois
este permite ao docente criar conteúdos com mais dinamismo e assim despertar mais
interesse por parte dos alunos.
A plataforma Educast permite disponibilizar conteúdos de vídeo, podendo estes ser
visualizados em vários formatos pelos utilizadores finais. De entre esses formatos
destacamos o formato de streaming, que faz uso de um player que assenta numa
tecnologia ultrapassada. Essa tecnologia é o Flash, que deixará de ser suportada pela sua
criadora, a Adobe, fazendo com que os utilizadores dessa plataforma fiquem
impossibilitados de utilizar o formato de streaming. Este trabalho tem como objetivo
principal desenvolver um player que utilize tecnologias standard, de forma a que não
dependa de plug-ins para a reprodução de vídeo. Este novo player terá de ter as
funcionalidades do player anterior e, para além disso, incluir novas.
As novas funcionalidades passam por melhorar a navegação nos capítulos, incluir uma
listagem de documentos associados ao video, tornar o player responsivo, permitir
legendar o vídeo e monitorizar métricas de utilização do player.
Esta plataforma integra mais de 80 instituições, entre elas instituições de ensino superior,
de investigação, governamentais e de sem fins lucrativos. Conta também com mais de
45000 vídeos produzidos, mais de 5400 canais criados e mais de 47500 utilizadores, o
que torna a decisão de desenvolver um novo player faça mais sentido. Este player permite
aos utilizadores continuar a usar o serviço no seu pleno e a usufruir das funcionalidades
que o formato de streaming tem para oferecer.
Nowadays, technological advances in terms of hardware and software have changed over the years, the paradigm of how we learn and communicate knowledge. What once seemed inaccessible is now available in a matter of seconds. It was the birth of this way of communicating that made us adapt the way we transmit knowledge. There is no doubt that these technologies are here to stay in education. Digital contents are increasingly used by teachers to provide materials to aid in teaching classes. One of the content that has been gaining ground is video, as it allows teachers to create content with more dynamism and thus create more interest from students. The Educast platform makes it possible to provide video content, which can be viewed in various formats by end users. Among these formats we highlight the streaming format, which makes use of a player based on outdated technology. That technology is Flash, which will no longer be supported by its creator, Adobe, making users of that platform unable to use the streaming format. The main objective of this work is to develop a player that uses standard technologies, so that it does not depend on plug-ins for video playback. This new player must have the features of the previous player and, in addition, include new ones. The new features include improving chapter navigation, including a listing of documents associated with the video, making the player responsive, allowing video captions and monitoring player usage metrics. This platform integrates more than 80 institutions, including higher education, research, government and non-profit institutions. It also has more than 45000 videos produced, more than 5400 channels created and more than 47500 users, which makes the decision to develop a new player more sense. This player allows users to continue to use the service to its fullest and enjoy the features that the streaming format has to offer.
