In the past decade and a half, thousands of attendees have gathered in Madison to discuss key issues in using technology effectively. And, hundreds of speakers have shared their knowledge and experience through papers, presentations, workshops, and roundtables. Throughout its 15 year history, the conference's major aim has been to increase our understanding of factors that contribute to effective applications. While technology provides an essential means to span geographic distance, the keys to success reside in human factorsin what people do to plan, design, and support distance learning applications. This year's conference is no exception. The 15th Annual Conference proceedings contains nearly 90 papers that address important human factors from several perspectives, including: implementation planning, management and policy, instructional design, teaching methods, faculty development, learning environments, learner supports, and evaluation. The authors, as experienced distance educators or trainers, provide insights into how those factors contribute to successful outcomes and describe practical methods for implementing similar approaches in other settings. Distance education has a rich history of more than a century of service in providing learning opportunities through technology. From the early correspondence courses of the 1880s to current use of video and the Internet, the distance education ideal has been to increase access to quality teaching resources by eliminating the barriers of place and time. Today, distance education is poised on the threshold of a new millennium. The rapid growth and dramatic changes occurring in distance education raise critical questions about how we preserve the historic ideals of access and quality in what is increasingly viewed as a global education marketplace. As the papers in this proceedings remind us, achieving aims of access and quality is a human endeavor that goes beyond technology. It requires a commitment to humanfactors, an investment in human resources, and the human capacity to incorporate best practices into wise applications that meet learning needs. My thanks to the many people who have contributed to this conference over the past 15 years. I wish to particularly acknowledge Dr. Terry L. Gibson and Dr. Chere Campbell Gibson who served as previous chairs of this conference and who continue to guide its aims through their dedication to the ideals of access and quality.

    10-23 C NTENTASIA MARCH 2014 www.contentasia.tv l https://www.facebook.com/contentasia facebook.com/contentasia l @contentasia l www.asiacontentwatch.com ESPN deal with Outdoor Channel Exclusive agreement for IndyCar and X Games ESPN and Asia-based TV network, Out- door Channel, have sealed an exclusive pan-regional agreement for IndyCar Series and two X Games franchises – X Games Austin and X Games Aspen – in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, India, Mon- golia, South Korea and Taiwan, among other markets. The multi-year agreement involves joint promotion and marketing across South- east Asia. While exclusive regionally, deal terms allow for specific individual licens- ing agreements to be negotiated on a country-by-country basis. The deal, which will be announced this week, could be the first of other lin- ear channel collaborations with Outdoor Channel as ESPN moves further into its post-ESPN Star Sports (ESS) era in Asia. Gregg Creevey, the managing director of Outdoor Channel operator Multi Chan- nels Asia’s (MCA), said both properties were hugely successful in the U.S. and presented “enormous potential for growth in the Asia-Pacific region”. MCA’s content agreement with ESPN is part of Outdoor Channel’s 2014 push into more mainstream positioning with, among other shows, Ironman Asia Pacific cham- pionships, Australasian Safari, World Heli Challenge, Wild Spirits and the FIA Asia Pacific Rally Championships. Since the end of the ESPN Star Sports joint venture in 2012, ESPN operated no ESPN-branded linear television channels in Asia. The company’s focus has been digital platforms, including ESPNFC and ESPNcricinfo.

  • Etere and ABS-CBN Knowledge Channel
    11/12/2008 Press Etere a consistent system Etere and ABS-CBN Knowledge Channel ETERE was the perfect answer for the expansion of the ABS-CBN’s system. Knowledge is the educational channel owned by Creative Programs Inc. (an ABS-CBN subsidiary) that has been following a specific moral goal since its first debut in 1999: foresting “the vision of a community of educated, empowered, and responsible citizens working relentlessly for a better Philippines”. This is Knowledge’s main purpose. Knowledge Channel Obviously, ETERE with its multi-year experience in software solutions, was more than happy to support such an all-worthy motto, and therefore Knowledge. ETERE was the perfect answer for the expansion of the ABS-CBN’s system, especially taking into consideration its capacity to implement such an ambitious project by using all the existing infrastructures (ABS-CBN already runs more than 20 channels). The extreme modularity of ETERE allows you expanding simply by adding the necessary pieces. Its distributed architecture, without a single point of failure, allows easy and unlimited expansion. Knowledge Channel ETERE is a TV management system that is based on a SQL Media Asset Management system, able to integrate all functions inside a media company by automating and linking them together in a single consistent system. ETERE controls the following devices for Knowledge: • INCA Character Generator • 1 SeaChange Videoserver BML/MCL 4012 • n. 1 Quartz router via Etere Sarvaji • 56 computers Thanks to the virtualization of the serial port embedded in ETERE, the 56 PCs can share the same resources even with serial control and with no need of any additional Rs422 Router.
