SURF
The Webstroom Community
• Community fostered by SURF
• Hybrid between technology, pedagogy and content owners
• Aim: to support the effective use of streaming media in higher education– Gather & distribute knowledge amongst HE
institutions
Activities and community support
• Meetings throughout the year
• Website (who’s who, best practices)
• Newsletter, discussion list• Active participation in conferences
(DIVERSE – SURF education seminar)
• Pilot projects 2002-2004
Methods
• Start 2002 and 2003 in two rounds with 4 plus 5 projects
• Budget K€ 10 – 15 each
• Simple rules, bottom up approaches
• Outcomes for collective use
Four types of approaches, but always student centered
• Problem based (“Canned Problem”)
• Competences based
• Guided instruction (“Cookbook”)
• Multimedia library
Four ways of using Streaming video
• Freshly shot (e.g. Innobus)
• Existing own VHS tapes digitized (ACTA)
• Students filmed themselves (supermarket)
• External sources (TV, Image & Sound)
Critical success factors (1)
• Small scale
• Simple project management
• Bottom up approach
• Right moment in technological development to start educational experiments
Critical success factors (2)
• Cooperation in resources
• Setting standards and metadata
• Exchange of “good practices” in “webstroom” meetings plus website
• Small scale experiment plus coaching facility
The innovative value
• Every pilot was first “real” experiment
• Used to set standards for institute
• Provided casus to motivate teachers to master (some of) the techniques
• Triggered thinking about innovative didactical approach
Encountered Problems
• Rights: how to deal with it?
• Standards: which to choose?
• Firewalls…
• Version conflicts

Sound and Vision:streaming cultural heritage into
education• A complete service
– Legacy material from Sound and Vision– Current affairs material from Public
Broadcasters– Flat fees
Webstroom: our roadmap until 2006
• Expand the scope of the community– strengthen ties with ‘ICT in Education’ departments
(‘reach the teachers’) and include libraries
• Cross fertilization with other SURF communities– IPR Community– Metadata standards Community
• New call for proposals December 2004• International Collaboration
– JISC– DIVERSE (5th to 7th July, 2005 Vanderbilt University)
Discussion
• Which clarifying questions do you have?
• Do you agree that Streaming Video is an underestimated tool in education?
• Do you think these projects were helpful in exploring new possibilities?
• How do you think the pedagogical examples shown can be disseminated?
