Using an Institution Platform of E-Learning in English Language Teaching (ELT) Process at ITB AAS Indonesia

E-learning relies on technology. It requires hardware, software, and network infrastructure. Most e-learning environments today are Web-based, so they can be accessed via Web browsers (using HTTP) over a TCP/IP network such as a university or campus network. The objective of this research is to describe the implementation and to find the strengths and weaknesses of the institution's platform of e-learning in ITB AAS Indonesia. This research is descriptive qualitative research. The result analysis shows that ITB AAS Indonesia has an e-learning system that can be accessed at https://itbaas.ac.id/elearning/. The learning process may be governed or managed by a system based on LMS (Learning Management System). The implementation of online English teaching by using e-learning consists include planning, implementation, and evaluation. In preparing English language teaching, the lecture follows instructions for creating materials. Before uploading material, the English lecturer prepares the material file that he/she wants to upload, fills in all material identities (title of the material, choice of courses, choice of class, material content) then uploads material files. In the implementation of English Language Teaching, the English lecturer prepares the media of video conferencing in online learning. The English lecturer carries out online learning by using Zoom meetings and YouTube Live Streaming. In evaluation, the English lecturer can evaluate by giving the mid-term and final semester tasks in the e-learning platform. The e-learning system in ITB AAS Indonesia has advantages, of course, it also has disadvantages. Therefore, the process of improving the e-learning application is still required and needs to be improved for the success of the teaching and learning process.

Predicting potential real-time donations in YouTube live streaming services via continuous-time dynamic graphs

Online live streaming platforms, such as YouTube Live and Twitch, have seen a surge in popularity in recent years. These platforms allow viewers to send real-time gifts to streamers, which can bring significant profits and fame. However, there has been little research on the donation system used on live streaming platforms. This paper aims to fill this gap by building a continuous-time dynamic graph to model the interactions among viewers based on real-time chat messages and predict the real-time donations on live streaming platforms. To achieve this, we propose a novel model called the Temporal Difference Graph Neural Network (TDGNN) that incorporates imbalanced learning strategies to identify potential donors during live streaming. Our model can predict the exact time when donations will appear. We conduct extensive experiments on three live streaming video datasets and demonstrate that our proposed model is more effective and robust than other baseline methods from other fields.

Enabling Musical, Pedagogical, and Social Continuities through “Participation” in Mary O’s Virtual Irish Traditional Music Session

This study utilises virtual ethnography to examine “Mary O’s Virtual Session,” a weekly Irish traditional music session that, in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, migrated online using YouTube Live—a platform key to the study for facilitating interactive, synchronous learning. Drawing on theoretical frameworks by scholars including Turino (2008) and Jenkins (2006), this research interrogates “participation” and examines the transformative potential of this virtual session as a locus for music transmission, challenging traditional practices’ reliance on co-location. Despite limitations imposed by the virtual environment, the research posits that this adaptation cultivated a crucial “nexus of learning,” facilitating substantial pedagogical, musical, and social continuities for music learners amidst the pandemic. The findings provide valuable insights for music educators in the digital age, suggesting the importance of media convergence in developing supports to enable learner participation in virtual spaces. This study underscores the ongoing evolution and specialisation of online teaching in music education.

Streaming demand for eSports: Analysis of Counter-strike: Global offensive

The eSports industry is growing at a rapid pace. The expansion of streaming services such as Twitch and YouTube Live played an important role in this leap and greatly contributed to the rise in popularity of electronic sports. Despite this success, there is no research on the topic of streaming demand of eSports to date. This paper aims to fill this gap using a demand approach of traditional sports to analyze the streaming demand of an eSports discipline, the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive. The dataset comprises 865 matches between 2018 and 2021. Multiple Linear Regressions are taken as econometric tools. Main findings indicate that eSports enthusiasts value factors such as quality of tournament, match quality, and individual skill of the athletes when watching matches. In addition, the obtained results reveal that the Uncertainty of Outcome plays a significant role at streaming broadcasts of Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, where viewers prefer to watch those games in which there is a high level of competitiveness between the participants. Current research contributes to the existing eSports literature with a new framework for analyzing streaming demand. The empirical findings could be of the interest of tournament organizers as well as streaming platforms for maximizing audiences.

Training on Qualitative Methods in Writing Scientific Papers for Students: Learning Data Collection and Data Analysis

This training activity provides information and knowledge to students about qualitative research methodology in doing their final project, thesis, and the task of writing articles that are being programmed. The method of implementing this activity uses the lecture and discussion (Q&A method). This activity was held on Tuesday, April 26, 2022, via Zoom Meeting and YouTube Live Streaming. Participants consist of 55 students majoring in S1 Sharia Economics from ITB AAS Indonesia. The lecturer as the speaker presents material about qualitative research methods including the definition, characteristics, and data collection methods such as primary data (interview, questionnaire, and observation) and secondary sources (document), then data validation (triangulation) and data analysis methods (data reduction, data display, and conclusion). The lecturer as a speaker also provides an opportunity for participants (students) to ask questions in the raise hands, Zoom chat column, or live YouTube chat. These Q&A answers show the participants’ activeness in participating in the activity and the enthusiasm of the activity participants in asking the lecturer (speaker) regarding the qualitative research method material that has been explained. The follow-up of this activity is holding similar activities that focus more on implementing data analysis in the findings and discussion section.

Streaming software development: Accountability, community, and learning

People use the Internet to learn new skills, stay connected with friends, and find new communities to engage with. Live streaming platforms like Twitch.tv, YouTube Live, and Facebook Gaming provide a place where all three of these activities intersect and enable users to live-stream themselves playing a video game or live-coding software and game development, as well as the ability to participate in chat while watching someone else engage in an activity. Through fifteen interviews with software and game development streamers, we investigate why people choose to stream themselves programming and if they perceive themselves improving their programming skills by live streaming. We found that the motivations to stream included accountability, self-education, community, and visibility of the streamers’ work, and streamers perceived a positive influence on their ability to write source code. Our findings implicate that alternative learning methods like live streaming programming are a beneficial tool in the age of the virtual classroom. This work also contributes to and extends research efforts surrounding educational live streaming and collaboration in developer communities.

ChatLinguist: web-based youtube live stream automatic chat message translator

Live streaming has become a very popular activity that Indonesians with access to the Internet participate in everyday, there are already many live streaming platforms available on the market, such as YouTube and Twitch, however these platforms are not region-locked, which means that viewers are able to watch streamers from other regions of the world. This means that a streamer can reach a wider audience, but it also means that language barriers are more apparent than ever. This issue can be seen when an Indonesian viewer watches a streamer who can only speak in English, as English is not the viewers mother tongue, the viewer will not feel as interactive as possible, this is especially true because the viewer is not able to communicate and interact with other viewers through the live stream chat box, as the chat box is probably utilizing English as the main language. Therefore, the author wanted to create a web application that can help solve this issue by translating YouTube Live chat box messages from English to Indonesian while also being able to translate Indonesian messages inputted by the user into English before sending it into the livestream chat box. This web application implements Django as its main framework and depends on Python libraries and YouTube API calls for its main functionality, while the translation process depends on Artificial Intelligence.

Accessible and meaningful engagement for people living with dementia when transitioning arts activities online.

With opportunities for self-expression and enjoyment, creative arts activities can offer many benefits for people living with dementia including improving health and wellbeing. During the COVID-19 pandemic, arts organizations have had to transition activities previously involving face-to-face interactions to remote delivery. Aiming to understand the accommodations that have been made for people living with dementia (PLWD) to access arts activities through technology, we conducted a survey with arts-workers involved in the remote delivery. A survey using a mixture of qualitative and quantitative questions was distributed online to arts workers delivering activities remotely for PLWD in the UK during the COVID-19 pandemic. These included what types of activities were employed, how the activities changed due to remote access (including motivations for access), what tools were used, what technological support there was for access, and how this affected the number of people they were able to reach with these activities. Twenty-seven arts workers (mean age = 47 SD = 6.4) delivering music (23 respondents), arts (8), crafts (4), dance (6), drama (3), and word-based activities (1) responded. The main tools used included: Zoom, YouTube Live, Microsoft Teams, and Facebook Live. Several themes emerged from the thematic analysis of open-ended responses: i) gaining a sense of community, finding structure and purpose, and combatting against physical isolation were perceived to be major motivations for people living with dementia, ii) creating opportunities for choosing, contributing input, and sharing was important, and iii) changes in access resulted from the shift to remote delivery such as difficulty for PLWD to interact through technology, user setup and maintenance needs, and the possibility for geographic expansion of the remote service. The findings highlight the diverse, individual needs of people living with dementia in group arts participation, while still prioritizing their motivations for participation including sense of community, structure, purpose, and combatting against feelings of isolation during the pandemic. Particularly successful remote activities gave opportunities for meaningful contribution and had a multitude of possibilities for access for PLWD.

Learning advantages of online old-time jams

During the COVID-19 pandemic, participants in the old-time community of practice employed readily available streaming and teleconferencing platforms to jam online. Old-time musicians use acoustic instruments – primarily fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar and bass – to play traditional fiddle tunes from the United States, and jams are important sites for both learning and community building. Old-time jams were primarily facilitated using Zoom, Facebook Live and YouTube Live – platforms that allow a leader or small group to broadcast from a single location while other participants play on mute. While these platforms cannot successfully replicate in-person jams, for some players they provided a superior learning experience. This study draws on quantitative, qualitative and participant–observer data to categorize and describe the ways in which online jamming helped old-time players to sustain musical growth during the pandemic. While the inaudibility of individual participants might seem to be a major drawback of these platforms, it in fact benefited developing players in multiple ways. Participants also valued the opportunity to learn from recorded sessions, see and hear more clearly, maintain autonomy over their learning processes, access online resources and meet new challenges. For these reasons, online jams continue to serve as a valuable learning tool even as players return to in-person activities.

Effects of parasocial affinity and gender on live streaming fans’ motivations

Gaming livestreams have seen unprecedented growth on platforms such as Twitch.tv and YouTube Live, especially since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. This study examined fans’ motivations for watching and supporting their favorite streamers. The results of an online survey showed that the time spent watching livestreams was positively associated with the degree of parasocial affinity they feel toward that streamer. Parasocial affinity strength was, in turn, a significant predictor of the likelihood of sending virtual gifts or donations to streamers. Some gender differences in motivations also emerged. Women reported being more likely to watch a particular gaming stream because of the streamer’s characteristics rather than the game being played, while men were equally likely to watch because of the streamer or because of the game being played.

가나안 성도들을 위한 하이브리드 교회의 등장과 코로나 시대 메타버스 교회

The prolonged Covid has rapidly changed our local and social environment and created a hybrid lifestyle and synthetic model churches for religious life, so watching YouTube Live Stream of worship service became a new normal for Christians. The online virtual faith-based communities become a third space for multitudes of generation MZ and the De-churched. It also provides a new perspective to discover the value of the digital church, showing more possibilities for the coexistence of institutional and digital church. This article explains the online people movement and the hybrid church models through theological reflections. The synthetic model, one of Bevan’s contextualization models, enables us to understand the emergence of digital churches or so-called “Verge Churches” (Hirsch and Ferguson 2011:39). All-Line church, a hybrid church ministry, can be compared to a see-saw play because the numbers of online and offline members are accordingly flexible depending on the Covid situation. The hybrid churches’ online ministry can also be called a seedbed ministry metaphorically because it may lead church scattered-refugees to be transplanted to a new field with spiritual care in the Metaverse environment

QoS-Aware Multicast for Crowdsourced 360° Live Streaming in SDN Aided NG-EPON

The IEEE 802.3ca Task Force group has recently approved the standardization of the next-generation Ethernet passive optical network (NG-EPON) to satisfy future bandwidth demands. NG-EPON architecture classifies the optical network unit (ONU) transmission to allow simultaneous Wavelength-Agile (WA-PON) transmission, which increases the network capacity (50 Gb/s) and flexibility. The recently launched 5G services and related functional standards, new capabilities, and quality of service (QoS) imposed on the optical transport network. The Peer-to-peer (P2P) based live streaming application is the most popular multimedia application in access networks, i.e., Facebook Live, YouTube Live, Twitch, and other streaming and video conferencing services are increasing, especially in global epidemics which requires a higher QoS. Hence, media-based applications require adequate infrastructure resources to meet customer demands such as high bandwidth, low latency, high quality audiovisual, live streaming, and services. Therefore, this paper proposes an SDN enhanced P2P virtual reality (VR) live video streaming application NG-EPON multicast architecture based on 5G-enabled Tactile Internet (TI) and aims to improve the QoS, QoE and provide flexible services to the end-users. Finally, we proposed an SDN-based TI-dynamic wavelength and bandwidth allocation (SD-TI-DWBA) mechanism. Simulation results show that our proposed architecture can improve the system performance and QoS metrics regarding packet delay, jitter, system throughput, and packet loss.

Meanwhile, the results of analysis in Asynchronous learning (handouts, tutorials, exercises / discussions, and videos) reached 88% and those who did not apply Asynchronous learning reached 12%.

Intelligent Edge Learning for Personalized Crowdsourced Livecast: Challenges, Opportunities, and Solutions

Recent years have witnessed the expeditious development of crowdsourced livecast, also referred to as crowdcast, breeding such industry upstarts as Youtube Live, Twitch Tv, Mixer, Douyu, and so on. Unlike traditional TV-based livecast that provides uniform services, in crowd-cast, service providers are racking their brains to satisfy each viewer's personalized QoE demands since different viewers usually have quite diverse preferences. To achieve this goal, the key challenges lie in the accurate prediction of viewers' personalized QoE preferences and the cost-ef-fective viewer serving at the network edge. We argue that the confluence of edge computing and recent advance in deep learning shed light on accommodating these challenges, enabling more intelligent personalized QoE provision. In this article, we first provide an overview of today's crowdcast solutions, highlighting the challenges and opportunities therein from uniform crowdcast to personalized crowdcast with a large-scale measurement. We then present an intelligent edge learning framework ELCast as a case study, which leverages convolutional neural network and deep reinforcement learning in an edge computing architecture for personalized crowdcast. Trace-driven experiments demonstrate the superiority of ELCast over state-of-the-art approaches.

Multicast at Edge: An Edge Network Architecture for Service-Less Crowdsourced Live Video Multicast

Using smartphones, tablets, and other portable/handheld devices, we have become more reliant on the video streaming services for entertainment and remote work. Mobile data traffic has grown eighteen folds over the past five years accounting for the majority of IP traffic. YouTube Live, Facebook Live, Twitch, DouYu and other streaming as well as video conferencing services have increased in popularity so at any given moment they serve thousands of live video streams to millions of users. The Enhanced Multimedia Broadcast Multimedia Service (eMBMS) is the standard multicast protocol for 5G networks. Cellular multicast has gained considerable attention to efficiently utilize the limited spectrum to transmit multimedia content to cellular sites with co-located viewers, lowering the cost, and maximizing the Quality of Experience (QoE). However, popular live video content providers use unicast mode for live video delivery and have limited support in the eMBMS service-oriented network architecture. In this paper, we propose an overlay network architecture to augment eMBMS to address the limitations of the standard eMBMS architecture and enable service-less multicast for crowdsourced live video providers. We propose a Virtual Network Function (VNF) service that identifies potential multicast scenarios based on user requests for a live video within a confined area. The VNF Application Server collects information, validates a potential multicast scenario, and initiates an ad-hoc multicast service on the fly. We use a real-world dataset of Facebook Live videos to evaluate the proposed architecture. The simulation results depict considerable advantages in terms of cost, efficiency, and Quality of Experience (QoE). Our results show that the proposed architecture provides significant benefits in bandwidth saving at the backhaul, transit, and RAN links.
