TLDR
An asynchronous multimedia conferencing application in which the users are provided with an authoring and rendering environment to record and view lectures and allows the users to ask and reply to doubts in the previously stored lectures making it a fully interactive but asynchronous system.
Abstract
In this paper we present Shiksha − an integrated architecture which incorporates handwritten illustrations captured and rendered in a temporal fashion synchronized with audio and video data. The architecture of Shiksha permits non-linear growth in the form of multiple hierarchically organized play streams. We have developed an asynchronous multimedia conferencing application in which the users are provided with an authoring and rendering environment to record and view lectures. It also allows the users to ask and reply to doubts in the previously stored lectures making it a fully interactive but asynchronous system.

Automated capture, integration, and visualization of multiple media streams

TL;DR: The authors view teaching and learning as a form of multimedia authoring and have developed a system that generates much of the educational content that occurs naturally in university lectures that is scalable and that supports a user's desire to search by browsing.

Experiential meeting system

TL;DR: It is believed that while data processing algorithms are being developed for automatic detection of events, it may be essential to build tagging environments that will allow rapid semiautomatic tagging of data at all three levels so practical meeting systems could be implemented.
