- Automated lecture analysis and indexing
- Classroom note taking and whiteboard capturing and analysis
- Automated analysis of learning and teaching interactions
- Repositories for multimedia education
- Multimedia information retrieval for educational use
- Intelligent searching and navigation in elearning portals
- Interactive computer-based training
- Simulations, animations, and virtual laboratories in teaching
- Virtual reality and augmented reality in education
- Multimedia authoring software for e-learning
- Implicit and explicit learner feedback
- User Tracking
- Quality measures and assessment of multimedia education
- Community efforts aiming at cross-university reuse of web lectures
- Technical infrastructures for large scale web lecture repositories
