Re: [Opencast Matterhorn] Anybody interested in a publish delay feature?

[Karen Dolan]

I apologize for not looking this up, before asking, but can the search retrieval lecture access be controlled using time frames? For instance, is it possible for Search Service not to retrieve material that has a future "release" date or a past "retract" date?

In general though, ETH would welcome such a feature.   With respect to Warren’s remarks, metadata could come to the rescue as there is a DC metadata field available which might be helpful: “dcterms:issued” is the “Date of formal issuance (e.g., publication) of the resource.” [1], which could be made available for both the episode (publishing recordings at regular intervals) and the series (publish all recordings with same delay).   O   [1] http://opencast.jira.com/wiki/display/MHDOC/Matterhorn+metadata+scheme+%28work+in+progress%29.     Von: matterhorn-boun...@opencastproject.org [mailto:matterhorn-boun...@opencastproject.org] Im Auftrag von Long, Warren Gesendet: Mittwoch, 12.

So in your case, instead of specifying the "number of days after capture" to proceed with publishing, you would want to specify a specific date for each recording. That's a little different than we were thinking, but I think that approach offers more flexibility to accommodate different needs. Thanks for your input! Ruben, yes, we need something automated. The problem is that it would be incredibly time-consuming (and error-prone) for a webcast administrator who is responsible for review/trim/publish for 60+ courses to keep track of each instructor's preference for how long they want to delay publishing and manually implement those delays.

The re-engineered episodes have a staggered release to simulate the normal pacing of a course. The paced release keeps a group of students on the same page, literally, to work through the material together.

Or do you need an automated delay that does not require further human intervention?   Best regards   Rubén Pérez TELTEK Video Research www.teltek.es 2012/9/12 Judy Stern <jlst...@berkeley.edu> Here at UC Berkeley, our existing webcast administration system has a publish delay feature, where he can specify that recordings for a course not be made available for a specified number of hours or days. This is appreciated by instructors who feel that immediate publication of their lectures encourages student absences from class. (One instructor, who opted for a several day delay,  wrote: "a number of my colleagues in CS have been hesitant to have webcasting because they believe students won't come to class anymore, but so far my experience is that this short delay is enough to prevent that problem".) The relevant user story, http://opencast.jira.com/browse/MH-5393, is now assigned to Michelle, who is project managing our local efforts. Our UI work will likely involve minor changes (an extra element or two) on the Scheduling/Upload UI's; we also need to decide where such "delayed" recordings appear in the Recordings tab. John King, one of our developers, will also likely be writing new workflows and workflow operations to enable this. I would like to hear from any of you if your institution would be interested in using this feature, or if you would like to participate in a community design review of this feature. (We think it's good open source citizenship to share with the community what we're working on, and would love to take into account the needs of other institutions wherever possible.) If there's interest in a design review meeting, I'll work with those interested to schedule.
