School Outreach LENScience was established in 2006 when former Prime Minister Helen Clark opened the Sir John Logan Campbell classroom at the Liggins Institute. Its wide ranging programmes provide opportunities for school students and teachers to learn about the latest advances in the life sciences within the context of current, applied biomedical research and links directly to the secondary science curriculum. The Liggins Institute was the University of Auckland's first Large Scale Research Institute. It is a world leading centre for translational research on fetal and child health; the impact of nutrition on health throughout life; epigenetic regulation of growth and development; breast cancer; and evolutionary medicine. However LENScience had a problem. It had the content and it had the researchers, the domain experts that were ideally placed to present that content. However there was no effective way to link that content to the people that would most benefit, the high school students up and down country. Through a fortuitous meeting between Jackie Bay the director of LENS, and Robert Hamilton the Technology Architect AV for ITS, a solution using Satellite broadcasting was created that today delivers live interactive seminar broadcasts across FreeView to 100+ schools up and down New Zealand. ...the presentation will explain how this was done... Lecture Theatre Recording The University of Auckland experimented with multiple approaches to Lecture Recording over a period of three to four years. All of these pilots failed to scale to the Universities needs primarily due to cost and underlying architecture. The University built it's own solution following the Opencast model while also establishing a firm foundation for its overall Media Services including media capture, editing and production, storage and cataloging; distribution. ...this part of the presentation will describe the history, how the University built its solution, and what it has learnt since..
