The master's thesis encompasses the design, optimization, and utilization of multimedia and information-communication technologies in the implementation of the pedagogical process, with an emphasis on optimizing hardware and software components. The rapid development in the field of multimedia brings numerous possibilities for upgraded education, and due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the adoption of these technologies has dramatically increased. Consequently, the requirement for rapid changes and increased usage were the systems and their application often suboptimal, posing an additional burden on educators and support staff.
The work includes a comprehensive overview of multimedia systems dedicated to supporting and implementing the pedagogical process, focusing on hybrid implementation. Furthermore, the thesis encompasses the design and engineering of multimedia systems using state-of-the-art approaches, such as the transmission of audiovisual signals over internet networks (AV-over-IP).
A study was conducted to analyze the needs and challenges regarding the contemporary use of technologies by educators and support staff. A common challenge, which was identified, was the need for upgraded and optimized systems and platforms, leading to an innovative architecture design, its optimization, testing, and analysis of an automated solution. The aim is to reduce the technological burden on educators and technical staff during hybrid lectures using a greater number of audiovisual sources.
