UTP-Play: An Online Depository for Textbook’s Tutorial Videos

Information Resource Center (IRC) in UTP has a huge collection of videos, including textbooks‟ tutorial videos. These videos are attached with the textbooks but for the security reasons, all the videos stored in CDs are placed in the shelves at Ground Floor, IRC. The number is huge, plus the indexing number of the CDs makes it difficult for student to locate and view the CDs. The CDs are also vulnerable to any damage and if there is any, the files may be damaged, corrupted and lost. UTP-Play is a website project which mainly aggregates this collection of videos under one site. It also gives the easier access for students to view the tutorial videos and most importantly, UTP-Play acts as a backup driver for these video; helping to preserve the video collection.
Several methods have been conducted in order to finish the project and of some them involving questionnaires and verbal interviews. The result from the questionnaire is used for the development of the project. Currently, UTP-Play is in its prototyping phase and by the time this dissertation is written, the website still going through several refining. In the future, UTP-Play is expected to have all collection of textbooks‟ tutorial videos in UTP.
