Abstract

Most higher education in South Africa adopt English language as a medium of instruction, which made it difficult for students who speak and write English as a second or third language to cope with the face-to-face lectures. Face-to-face lectures lack persistence and when students fail to understand the lectures during the once off face-to-face sessions, there is no opportunity to playback the lecture. Recording lectures with Opencast Matterhorn and making these available to these students as a supplementary resource to the face-to-face lecture has potential to alleviate this problem. Accessing the Video or Audio of opencast recorded lectures (ORL) on students’ mobile devices anywhere and at any time after face-to-face lecture could enhance student understanding of lectures and improve learning. This paper describes the architecture and design of an Interactive Opencast Mobile learning that enhances learning in higher education.
