Q&A about CourseHub:
Q: WebEx demands that you[the teacher] deliver the content sitting in front of a
laptop for recording. Does this restrict you? Probably distracts you and makes you
very conscious while teaching?
A: CourseHub is a solution that captures lectures or courses delivered in a classroom
in a very non-intrusive way. It allows you to use traditional ‘chalk-and-talk’ method
and you can move around the classroom as you wish. The captured content is still of
very high quality because CourseHub’s capture mechanism has the ability to track
and zoom to the part of the classroom where you are without requiring manual
camera operators.
Q: If you are using Skype or Google+, do your students begin to notice a significant
drop in the quality of video at Internet speeds less than 512 Kbps?
A: CourseHub’s in-house video compression algorithms have made it possible to
record HD quality content on bandwidth as low as 300 Kbps and students can
stream this high quality video at very low bandwidth, as low as 100 Kbps.
Q: Do you find yourself wishing that Skype/TeamViewer had more features that
made your life easier? Maybe there was some way to conduct quizzes or obtain
student feedback?
A: CourseHub has several integrated features that enable you to interact with
students easily. You can conduct live-assessments and introduce quizzes and live-
polling during the lectures. CourseHub also provides you with rich user analytics
which will give you an idea of which lectures [even which parts of each lecture]
were viewed more number of times. This feedback would be very useful and you
could incorporate it into your teaching. CourseHub also has discussion forums
[course-level] where you can interact with students and answer any questions they
may have, easily.
Q: Do you wish WebEx or TeamViewer allows you to record your lectures
automatically so that you could repurpose the content and use it later?
A: CourseHub has an integrated video-on-demand feature. All your live recordings
can automatically get recorded and will be stored securely so that you may use it
later. CourseHub also provides a very simple web-based video editor. This is very
easy to use and allows you to trim parts of videos or merge videos before you host
the content for viewing by students.

Q: How secure is your content when you use Skype/GoToMeeting? Who can access
it?
A: CourseHub uses efficient encryption methodologies to make sure that no illegal
party can tap into your course transmission. Not only that, no one [not even
registered students] can download the lectures. They can only view it online. To
prevent illegal distribution of your course content, we have embedded dynamic
watermarking in the videos.
Q: How much is the initial cost going to be? And subsequently how cost effective is
it?
A: The initial cost includes the cost of a HD camera (approx. Rs. 16,500), a good
quality wireless microphone (approx. Rs. 10,000) and the CourseHub capture
appliance (approx. Rs. 1,50,000). Once the installation of the above equipment is
done in your classrooms - all you need to pay for is the actual usage made by your
students (ranging from Rs. 10 to Rs. 40 per hour of usage).
