Multi-Media Monitoring System for language learning and research

Dr. Stephen Balfour will demonstrate how to use the Multi-Media Monitoring System (M3S), a tool that can be used for language learning and research, and coach participants through creating a multimedia object that could be used in class. 

About the M3S 

The Multi-Media Monitoring System (M3S) ingests the satellite broadcast channel Russia-24 as well as channels in Chinese and Arabic.  The video and audio is transcribed in the native script then translated into English, creating a video feed that is searchable with Boolean text strings. Additionally, the M3s system has web and social media feeds that are integrated into searches so that researchers and instructors can study events, movements, and other phenomena  through all three types of media.
