Abstract

Being able to access the live course while on the go is a highly desired feature by many students taking continuing education. In this paper, we present the design of a mobile live lecture broadcasting system for this purpose. It enables end users to watch the video, audio and slides of a lecture happening in the remote classrooms right from their smart phones. Adobe Flash was chosen as the underlying cross-device multimedia streaming platform due to its wide client-side support on various smart phone OSs. As the Flash technology lacks of the live screen cast support, a novel adapter module based on the mirror-driver mechanism and the virtual camera conception was developed to fill this gap. A small scale pilot based on this system has been conducted at our college, which has proved the effectiveness of the design.
