Online Education

Use Case
Online education platforms allow students and teachers to attend classes and communicate over the internet. These platforms generally have a massive amount of audio/video content recorded and uploaded by teachers. Their main requirements are as follows:
Requirement
Description
Playback on various platforms
Students may need to watch videos on different platforms and devices.
Smart subtitling
Subtitles help students at different levels better understand the teachers, who may speak with different speeds and accents. Class videos are often long, and manual subtitling can be time-consuming.
Copyright protection
Educational platforms often need to rent dedicated sites, purchase professional equipment, and hire teachers to produce educational content. This content can be costly to produce and is a valuable digital asset. Therefore, educational platforms need copyright protection schemes to protect their content from piracy.
Time shifting
Students entering ongoing classes may need to watch content from an earlier time point.
Psuedo-live streaming
Platforms need to be able to live stream pre-recorded courses at the scheduled time. Compared with offering content on demand, students usually pay better attention when watching a live stream. Psuedo-live streaming also helps platforms cut costs (for renting sites, buying equipment, and hiring teachers) and reduce risks (because they can moderate the content in advance).
Content moderation
Educational platforms need to moderate their content to prevent inappropriate content from having a bad influence on students and bringing them legal risks and negative publicity. Most class videos are long. Human moderators are inefficient and may miss content.
Media blocking
Because online courses are mostly watched by minors, platforms need to pay special attention not to expose them to inappropriate content. For non-compliant video segments that incorrectly passed moderation, platforms need to be able to quickly block them.
Cost reduction
Students need high video quality and smooth playback for effective online learning. This means high storage costs for platforms.
