T-learning vs. e-learning: advantages
Need to have a computerThere is at least one TV in nearly
100% of households in developed
countriesTechnologically
literate
TV is easy to use
e-learning t-learning
IDTV can be reached almost by everybody
Internet is not expected
to penetrate beyond 70%
T-learning demands different solutions (I)
Set-Top Box vs. computer
Lower computing powerLimited user interaction capabilities
Passive attitude of TV viewersTV is seen as an entertainment medium
TV viewers vs. computer users
Lower resolutionTV is watched from a higher distance
TV screen vs. computer screen
Lighter applications
Simple user interfaceswith big visual elements
Combine education and entertainment
Broadcasting (unidirectional)
TV transmisionClient-server architectureis not suitable
T-learning demands different solutions (II)

ATLAS: Architecture for T-Learning Applications and Services
Principles of ATLAS
• Promote reusability:– Unifying the platform: MHP
• Peculiarities: Latencies, synchronising with streaming media, low computational demands, etc.
– Unifying the courses: SCORM
• Media-driven strategies– Mainly, audiovisual material– Contextual binding:
• Identifiers linked to pieces of information
• Defined differently for the different types of content– Timestamps in fragments of audio and video– Regions in images– Anchors in a text– Options in menus, etc.
