Online authoring tutorial students will receive live the tutorial broadcast and reading the archive recordings… details are here:

Basis: Online chatting

The essential ingredient to get coordinate each other and allow feedback to flow from participants will be a chat system. Please join eds chat as first step of your tutorial connection having logged you in before.

We might migrate to other forms of chat if participants believe eds-chat is imperfect. A Skype conference call might also be arranged.

It is important that each participant receives the broadcast well and we shall take a bit of time to tune this at the beginning.

RTSP Streaming

Because of the network delicacies and to allow lower bandwidth, we offer a real-time-streaming-protocol server. The tutorial will be available as a stream from:

rtsp://media.activemath.org/online-tutorial.sdp

or

http://media.activemath.org/online-tutorial.sdp

You might test your installation on this http test movie or this rtsp test movie. The looping movie should also play sound.

Alternatively, reduced bandwidth versions are available: small and tiny.

It has been experienced that this works well with quicktime-player and with the open-source videolan client. This method of streaming has a chance to circumvent firewalls and will try to use such methods as UPnP at the up-stream router to make the stream as smooth as possible.

Depending on your configuration, plugins may be able to display this right in the browser.

Archives

Archives of the first session are lost. Archives of the future ones will be made available.
