Abstract

Although video sharing in web is used in learning, most video sharing services are not originally designed to be used as a learning application. In addition, most of these systems were designed to use via computer and with a web browser. Our solution, MoViE (Mobile Video Experience), is designed to be used in learning applications especially with mobile devices. MoViE is a social media service that enables users to create video stories using their mobile phones. Service's web interface is light and it works with all modern mobile phone browsers. In order to support automatic tagging of videos we designed a specific client for Symbian S60 platform that uses gps and cell tower data for creating tags for location, place and weather. In addition, MoViE's mobile client application makes uploading process even faster and makes possible to utilize smart tagging suggestions. The S60 MoViE client was used by the staff of Pori Jazz festival organization during the festival in summer 2009 for documenting the festival arrangements. They tried to capture unsuccessful, broken and bad things around the festival area. The aim was to use the videos for learning how to do things better next year.
