3. WHY
VIDEO? It is often richer than other media:
audio, image, motion, non-verbal

But explored mainly as a one way
flow of information. The interaction
aspect is missing.

4. Video annotation is composed
of data explicitly associated to
a spatiotemporal fragment of a

23. We have the tools.
Usage in e-learning is still basic.
Lots of exciting pedagogical
scenarios rely on video
annotation.
