enable wikis for seamless hypervideo integration
Motivation -- Wikis are Web-based collaborative systems that allow users to create, share and interlink content. Existing Wikis restrict users to edit and arrange text with other embedded media formats. Unfortunately moving pictures are handled as a whole without considering their temporal dimension. Their time-related composition and association with other parts of the wiki are withhold from the users influence. Thus, current wikis cannot be used to host or author rich dynamic and interactive hypervideos along with hypertext elements. Research approach -- A comparison of hypermedia systems and video production tools as well as wiki software was made to identify requirements of time-based user interfaces for hypervideo authoring environments. Findings/Design -- In this paper I present an approach for seamless and collaborative integration of interactive hypervideos into existing wiki environments. The wiki metaphor is combined with a direct manipulation user interface for hypervideo authoring and particular markup conventions. Originality/Value -- The research makes a contribution to collaborative work and learning with wikis. It enables users to annotate spatio temporal hyperlinks as well as composite sequential video clips through both, graphical user interface and generic markup language. Take away message -- Moving images within wikis can communicate ideas in ways that text can not. These images can be interconnected with other wiki contents.
