In the Language Center here instructors have been been capturing video using a "capture cart" (a video camera connected to a MacBook on a small cart) which they upload to student drop boxes (http://www.stanford.edu/~kenro/essays/ClassroomVideoCapture.html).  The trick is setting the encoding so that the resulting file is small enough to upload through the web interface - webdav is OK, but I have found that the web interface is often preferrable because it requires the least amount of training.
However, we do need to be realistic: if you are doing video, up/downloading is just never the right option.  There should be an integrated video service *everywhere* in Sakai which ingests video and delivers it in a streaming form, whether in materials, the drop box, assignments, the home page, etc.:

Red5 or Wowza or something like that is the way to go.  In 2009, students/instructors/staff *expect* this of anything on the web.

While Adobe Connect is already an investment  we've made (and integrated with Sakai) - I'd love to see what could be done  with Red5 ( http://osflash.org/red5 ) and Sakai. It seems like a fit  from a technology perspective - and could probably be easy enough to build a  "record to Sakai" type of tool (that uses CHS for storage of streams). I  dropped the war into a running Sakai dev instance today and it started up  fine.

Hi Susan
Ken Romeo has had to upload video for language  classes for a while and might have something to say.

More than that,  he's had this idea that it would be cool to be able to record directly from  your computer to Sakai, ala Facebook. By saying this, I'm not suggesting  that we're in a position to develop that functionality, but he's been  wondering if there are others out there who would be interested in  that.

Hello all,

In Boston, many of the sessions were recorded or  streamed through UStream. I'm curious to know what equipment was used to  capture the session. It looked like those that were recording were using  something as small as a phone placed on mini tripods. Was everyone using the  same thing? Or, were different products used.

We would like students  to record themselves and place their recorded file in the Drop Box of  Sakai.

Any feedback would be greatly  appreciated.

Susan
