Overview of eTEACH

An eTEACH presentation combines a video frame (Microsoft MediaPlayer) with a slide frame (Microsoft PowerPoint), an external web links frame, a dynamic table of contents that titles the major portions of the lecture and allows jumping to any portion, buttons that allow the lecture to be advanced or rewound 10 or 30 seconds, and fast forward and reverse buttons; all in an Internet Explorer window. The PowerPoint slides and web links automatically synchronize with the current position in the lecture video. eTEACH supports PowerPoint animation features for viewing in the browser. eTEACH supports accessibility features such as closed captioning and web page readers. eTEACH has been used extensively in reforming a large enrollment computer sciences course.
