Adeseye Adeyemi, a master student in the Faculty of Physical and Applied Sciences, University of Southampton, recently published to the bigbluebutton-setup mailing list a report entitled “An investigation into the integration of three e-learning software: Bigbluebutton, Opencast Matterhorn and Synote“.
At sixty pages, it gives a detail analysis of setting up BigBlueButton, Matterhorn, and Synote together. Here’s a statement from the summary of the report
The capturing capabilities of BigBlueButton is to be used for capturing the media, the processing and distribution capabilities of Opencast Matterhorn is to be used to process the media (desktop and camera recordings from BigBlueButton) into a format compatible with Synote (typically mp4 for video recordings and mp3 for audio recordings), the media is then distributed to Synote for media transcription and annotations via Matterhorn RSS/ATOM feeds. The result shows that a working system that will enrich the e-learning community can be achieved without incurring any licencing fee by integrating these three open source applications.
We encourage anyone investigating the integration of BigBlueButton, Matterhorn, and/or Synote to read Adeseye’s report, submitted in partial fulfilment of the degree of MSc Software Engineering.
