Coding multimedia educational content for videostreaming

Abstract

There are diverse video content coding tools, used to change the format, and modify content comprehension level. Regarding free coding tools, in general, these tools lack of a graphic interface, forcing the user to perform this process through a line of commands. This article presents a proposal for a process of coding educational multimedia contents, considering free tools. In methodological terms, this project was prepared in four phases: a) technology and tool analysis; b) design and implementation of coding tool; c) construction of videostreaming scenario, and, d) evaluation of the videostreaming scenario. The main results of this work include construction of a coding tool for educational multimedia contents, and organization of a streaming transmission space, parting from the developed tool. This work leads to conclude that the developed tool enables automation of multimedia content coding process, by using free tools. Likewise, the organized scenario may be considered as a reference in various application environments which require mounting and implementation of videostreaming-based services, as the case of virtual educational processes.
