NJViD Presentation – Internet2 FMM - November 2, 2010 Instructional Advantages of NJVID 5 Access to content any time, any place Easy to construct clips from multi-videos to create learning objects Objects are easily integrated with Blackboard, Sakai or Moodle Online students can access the same content as classroom students

NJViD Presentation – Internet2 FMM - November 2, 2010 Broader Vision of NJViD 6 Collection driven – increase availability of digital video content for education and research Support all learning organizations—higher ed, libraries, museums, archives, K12 schools Protect rights of content owners and content users Form the nucleus of a Statewide Cyber-Infrastructure for digital content management and re-use

NJViD Presentation – Internet2 FMM - November 2, 2010 Statewide CI – Building blocks  What building blocks do we need?  Common structure for Authentication and Authorization --Durable, standardized, consistent --Restricts access for collection management; coursework; research --Enables collaboration: faculty faculty student(s) student universityuniversity museum school Building Blocks of Statewide CI

NJViD Presentation – Internet2 FMM - November 2, 2010 Statewide CI – Faculty Research Management Collecting and Managing Faculty Research  Unique information  Preserved for long-term availability; audit trail  Made widely available for scholarly impact  Customized for scholarly and educational workflow  Volatile Information  Faculty may want to add, revise, remove  Usefulness often requires additional tools  SAS, SPSS, etc.  Visualization tools (Grapher, MatLab, etc.)  GIS Building Blocks of Statewide CI

NJViD Presentation – Internet2 FMM - November 2, 2010 FEDORA and FEDORA Commons 10 Fedora Commons a non-profit organization funded by a four year, $4.9M grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation to develop the organizational and technical frameworks necessary to effect revolutionary change in how scientists, scholars, museums, libraries, and educators collaborate to produce, share, and preserve their digital intellectual creations. The Fedora platform is logically divided into four major functional areas that reflect its first principles: repository services preservation services semantic services enterprise services

NJViD Presentation – Internet2 FMM - November 2, 2010 FEDORA capabilities 11 The Digital Object An open content model expressed as XML Security: Provision of flexible authentication and policy enforcement using XACML for authorization, using the Sun XACML engine (eXtensible Access Control Markup Language) Scalability: provision of support for >10 million objects Provides encapsulation for management and preservation Content Recon: reuse of objects including object content being present in any number of contexts within a repository; repurposing of objects allowing dynamic content transformations to fit new presentations requirements Identifiers: provision of persistent identifiers; unique names for all resources without respect for machine address Relationships: support for relationships between objects Interoperable Access: provision of interoperable access by means of a standard protocol to information about objects and for access to object content; discovery and execution of extensible service operations for digital objects

NJViD Presentation – Internet2 FMM - November 2, 2010 FEDORA capabilities (contd) 12 Repository Services A service oriented architecture with APIs for access and management Ontology services for expressing relationships Messaging, and journaling services Preservation Services Audit trails Versioning Object integrity – auto checksums Alerting

NJViD Presentation – Internet2 FMM - November 2, 2010 Commercial Videos – Advantages to Institutions 22 Institutions don’t necessarily need to acquire physical videos anymore They don’t necessarily need to catalog their licensed videos since another licensing institution may have already done so within NJVid. Students can access videos from anywhere. Some vendors without their own portal, such as BioMedia, will be available online for the first time. Don’t risk providing user accounts to commercial vendors. With Shibboleth we use Institution’s Enterprise Directory for access/deny decisions This all adds up to reduced staff workload and time spent leading to savings yet providing faculty and staff educational content without worrying about technology Annotation tool lets faculty, staff and students create learning objects and ultimately create playlists
