AUTONOMY CHOSEN TO MODERNISE EDUCATION AT HOLLAND'S DELFT UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY
Autonomy's Virage Rich Media Solution Delivers e-Learning Innovation to University
Cambridge, UK and San Francisco, Calif. - April 23, 2007 - Autonomy Corporation plc (LSE: AU. or AU.L), a global leader in infrastructure software for the enterprise, today announced that one of Holland's leading technical education institutions, the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft), has selected Autonomy's Virage solution to deliver a new, pioneering approach to e-learning. In line with the Dutch government's support of innovation, TU Delft will now use Virage's Rich Media Management software for the searching and structuring of its digital teaching material.
The college's new website, www.collegerama.nl, has been developed for both students and lecturers at TU Delft to provide online video recordings of classes. With Collegerama, students can follow, search and review various classes, lectures and research presentations online. Additionally, lecturers and students can now download, process and upload educational material themselves. The system satisfies the new learning requirements encouraged by the Dutch government, whereby teaching material is provided digitally wherever possible, thus optimizing remote knowledge sharing and knowledge exchange. Students with an internet connection now have access to teaching material regardless of time or location.
"Students are used to an efficient and effective digital environment and expect this from educational instruments," said Leon Huijbers, Head of the Aula Congress Centre & Multimedia Services at TU Delft, "Thanks to Virage, students no longer have to spend hours searching for relevant information and can find the classes they want more quickly. Autonomy also prevents 800 lecturers from having to index the content themselves."
TU Delft is using Virage's Rich Media solution to automatically link metadata to all uploaded files on Collegerama.nl. The Virage technology analyses, encodes and indexes audio and video material from various sources and automatically allocates metadata to those files, removing the need for manual tagging. Virage understands the context of files, so that if a student enters the search term 'solar energy', for example, the Rich Media solution will also find related documents such as information on 'green power'. TU Delft uses Autonomy's Virage to let users search within the database for digital material; consisting of lectures by professors, PowerPoint presentations and other study material. Virage automatically gives metadata to the video and audio material in the Collegerama database so that the professors do not have to do this themselves, a timely and often inaccurate manual task.
Mike Lynch, chief executive officer of Autonomy commented, "We are delighted that TU Delft has chosen Virage technology in its initiative to modernise learning and enhance access to education."
