Roadmap
The digital content needs to be more interactive and user friendly. Integrated approach is required in content development wherein seamless access is provided to multimedia content in one platform. Standard needs to be followed for interoperability. We need to harness web 2.0 tools in digital content development and delivery. Collaborative tools like wiki and blog can play a major role in mass content generation and hence building awareness proper training at all levels is an urgent requirement. Re-usability of recorded video can be facilitated once automated indexing technology is available.
