CableDev TV - Viewing+ team discusses the value of ITV tools in the classroom - Watch Now!

Ball State's ViewingPlus program (at the Center for Media Design) has been teaching students how to build interactive television (ITV) applications for six years. In this insightful video, Michael Holmes - (Director of Insight and Research from BSU) descibes the value of bringing these skills to students.

Through a partnership with CableDev (formerly OEDN) and participating companies from the US cable industry, the school is one of the only US universities with a robust curriculum that includes state-of-the-art ITV app development platforms and tools, thus training a new generation of app developers for television (whether on single screen or second-screen apps).

Following the model set by Ball State, we're looking to foster more opportunities for schools to develop ITV apps in the months and years ahead

CableDEV – the Next Chapter in Cable’s Outreach to Future ITV App and Service Developers

Submitted by wkreth on Mon, 05/16/2011 - 09:47

 

Welcome to CableDEV, the new name of the OCAP/EBIF Developer Network (OEDN). We’ve changed our name – but not our focus on coordinating resources to bring the tools and software necessary for students to learn how to build and test ITV applications and services at US universities.

 

What has changed is that CableDEV is no longer tied exclusively to supporting education efforts around Enhanced TV Binary Interchange Format (EBIF) or the Open Cable Application Platform (OCAP – also known by the consumer-facing name “tru2way”).
