As multimedia are being used to facilitate and enhance teaching and creative learning, making rich media including images and videos searchable are critical in today and future elearning platform and management system. Traditionally, it's a difficult challenge. Some of the team members have invented an interdisciplinary framework which integrates the state-of-the-art image recognition technology and brain science research from MIT, intelligent cluster algorithm and patentable digital “tagging” technology

Searchable video stream Non-linear video content access Crawlable - Video content -> text -> publish to web and crawled by search engine such as Google (and use Search Optimization technique) Dynamic - insert Ad (use image detection to detect sponsor images (e.g. ketchup) and dynamically insert link inside the video) Linkable - insert link (from one region of a frame in a clip to another frame in another clip – hypermedia) Unobtrusive - insert Text Ads to the clip on the side instead of a short clip at the opening
