Abstract
Abstract—A main step for world’s progress is to keep sharing ever-present Ideals for science and education within today’s Virtual Realities. On-line education is transforming human society to new levels in the way people teach and learn during the ongoing SARS-CoV-2 pandemic. There is an increasing interest in having more and more reliable, fast and simple apps to communicate and also to record, assemble and distribute videos and lectures in the fields of Physics & Maths still using traditional didactic methods. We describe here how to accurately reproduce chalkboard classes for the popular YouTube video platform using OpenEyA-YT. The audience can thus be expanded over continents to help mitigate the effects of physical isolation.
Highlights
The collection of writings in the book ‘Ideals and Realities’ by Prof
In this paper we describe how our open source OpenEyA software for Linux Ubuntu O.S. [4], including mobile devices [5] –for the purpose of automatically recording traditional Physics & Maths classes, needed to be rewritten and adapted during the pandemic in order to produce educational material for the popular YouTube (YT) video platform
The motivation of this work being the continuous experiences with the longstanding OpenDante platform operating since 2012 for on-line education and e-learning in the fields of Physics & Maths [6]
Summary
The collection of writings in the book ‘Ideals and Realities’ by Prof. Abdus Salam, 1979 Nobel Laureate of Physics and founder of the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste in Italy [1], gave an insightful analysis of the social and economic dimensions of science and education under isolation difficulties faced by scientists and scholars in developing nations within the context of the Cold War. The optimization of virtual Physics & Maths presentations requires the display of some specific symbols such as dots, lines, to represent ideas, theorems and relationships These still need to be identified and demonstrated on-line while teaching using standard chalkboards [2,3,4]. We aim at supporting students during their homework in a variety of topics of Physics & Maths, and to facilitate the production of on-line scientific educational lectures using a revised version of the automatic OpenEyA recording software for YouTube. This multimedia recording production takes into account the fact that it needs to be understood and implemented by non-expert users worldwide
