This project will address key research and development issues necessary to advance the commercialization of an innovative software platform for detailed and accurate group discussion of video material. Communication around video is a major problem, because the social and content channels are disconnected. Collaboration currently happens through email or shared text documents that are separated from the relevant segments in the video being discussed. This disconnect hampers in-depth communication and leads to errors. This project's focus is to integrate video content and collaborative discussion on the same page with multiple annotation features so that discussion and collaboration can be as detailed and efficient as with a shared text document. The increasing importance and proliferation of video in the educational arena and other domains strategically places this project at the vanguard of scientific discovery in building a technology tool that will serve society. Outside the field of education, this project will impact workplaces where videos are used by individuals or groups as part of training, analysis or assessment such as corporate/manufacturing, legal/criminal justice, medical and others. The project holds a patent and is situated as a spin-out from a university. It has unlimited potential for national and international commercialization, thus generating tax revenue and creating jobs. This project focuses on the development of a commercial-ready Video Collaboratory platform for team-based learning and collaboration centered on video documents for the Lightweight Teams model for group learning. This project will develop support tools for the management of teams of learners, mechanisms for inter-team collaboration, selective cross-team propagation of annotations, and team-based analytics, including instructor dashboard metrics for video engagement monitoring. The goal of the project is to address knowledge gaps identified in tools to support video-centered collaboration, targeting the flipped classroom model for STEM higher education. In this context it is essential to understand and support best practice mechanisms for automated group creation, bidirectional discourse proliferation for large class sizes and measurement of engagement and effectiveness for video content. The project's subaward team will be responsible for development and testing of technical feasibility aspects of the proposed research milestones. For each of the research milestones, the team will analyze the data from prototype deployments at the University and from other beta testers. Formative evaluation will be conducted through analysis of log files, informal interviews and focus groups with beta testers. Based on the feedback, a coded prototype will be created and tested on the test server before final deployment to the production system.

该项目将解决关键的研究和开发问题，以推进创新软件平台的商业化，用于详细和准确的视频材料小组讨论。围绕视频的交流是一个主要问题，因为社交和内容渠道是脱节的。目前的协作是通过电子邮件或共享文本文档进行的，这些文档与正在讨论的视频中的相关部分是分开的。这种脱节阻碍了深入的沟通，并导致错误。该项目的重点是在同一页面上集成视频内容和协作讨论，并提供多个注释功能，以便讨论和协作可以像共享文本文档一样详细和高效。视频在教育领域和其他领域日益增长的重要性和普及，战略性地将这个项目置于科学发现的前沿，以建立一个将服务于社会的技术工具。在教育领域之外，该项目将影响个人或团体将视频作为培训、分析或评估的一部分的工作场所，如企业/制造业、法律/刑事司法、医疗等。该项目拥有一项专利，是一所大学的副产品。它在国内和国际商业化方面具有无限的潜力，从而产生税收和创造就业机会。该项目侧重于开发一个商用视频协作实验室平台，用于基于团队的学习和协作，该平台以用于小组学习的轻量级团队模型的视频文档为中心。该项目将开发支持工具，用于管理学习者团队、团队间协作机制、选择性跨团队传播注释和基于团队的分析，包括用于视频参与监控的讲师仪表板指标。该项目的目标是解决在支持以视频为中心的协作的工具中发现的知识差距，目标是STEM高等教育的翻转课堂模式。在这种情况下，有必要理解和支持最佳实践机制，以实现自动化小组创建、大班规模的双向话语扩散以及视频内容的参与度和有效性的测量。该项目的分包团队将负责拟定研究里程碑的技术可行性方面的开发和测试。对于每个研究里程碑，团队将分析来自大学原型部署和其他beta测试人员的数据。形成性评估将通过日志文件分析、非正式访谈和与beta测试者的焦点小组进行。根据反馈，在最终部署到生产系统之前，将在测试服务器上创建一个编码原型并进行测试。
