Title
What can videolectures.net and translectures do for opening higher education to the multicultural world
Abstract
The exploration of new forms of teaching that improve learning ability is often motivated by its positive influence on economic growth and social prosperity. In this paper we present a set of IT tools which can empower small nations to contribute to the treasure of widely accessible educational resources, and at the same time enhance their ability for using these resources with no fears of endangering their identity, so tightly attached to culture, tradition and language. The context of our study is a national initiative to develop and apply technological as well as pedagogical solutions to serve teachers and learners at all levels of education in Slovenia. We demonstrate the post-processing abilities such as automatic translation on a case study video lecture. The preliminary evaluation of the results indicates that the used tools can typically improve both the quality and the speed of the process of automatic transcription and translation.
