Though this article is loosely written, enought of the meaning comes through to give a glimpse of a project at the University of Michigan that seeks to combine content management (especially of video assets) and e-learning. "The ultimate goal is a system that lets people input video using a hardware/software appliance like those available from Telestream or another vendor. The system would know from a log-in who the user is and in which folder to put the content. The text of speech would become part of content's meta data, making it searchable and doing away with hunting through audio and video looking for the relevant sound bite. End-users would need only a Web browser to peruse their rich media collections." What happens when we get simple, user-created video? For those with broadband access, the internet becomes much more interesting (and television comparatively dull).
