The project

Open Delos

The Open Delos platform is an open source rich media and lecture platform for education, designed and developed by GUnet in the context of the horizontal project. The first version was launched in November 2014 and since then it supports the hosting and management of the multimedia content of the Open Courses.

The Open Delos platform implements a set of relevant tools for supporting rich media content production, publishing and searching for educational material, editing video lectures and synchronizing them to instructors’ presentations slides, editing metadata, e.t.c. The platform collaborates with IP cameras and supports automatic recording and live streaming of scheduled lectures and events as well as the publishing of the recorded video – synchronized with the slides – through a rich media player on the web.
