论文摘要
健康研究能力增强对于实现健康目标至关重要。街机项目的目的是使用创新的教育技术来加强整个非洲和亚洲的健康研究。在欧盟资助的项目的四年中，还确定了技术性质的挑战。本文报告了街机项目中进行的一项研究。该研究的重点是应对资源限制设置中视频会议的挑战，并使用行动研究进行。结果，对开源视频会议系统Minisip进行了一个插件，并对其进行了评估。该研究表明，引入的插件可以改善音频和视频流，这解决了一个技术挑战。
Health research capacity strengthening is of importance to reach health goals. The ARCADE projects' aim was to strengthen health research across Africa and Asia using innovative educational technologies. In the four years of the EU funded projects, challenges also of technical nature were identified. This article reports on a study conducted within the ARCADE projects. The study focused on addressing challenges of video conferencing in resource constrained settings and was conducted using action research. As a result, a plugin for the open source video conferencing system minisip was implemented and evaluated. The study showed that both the audio and video streams could be improved by the introduced plugin, which addressed one technical challenge.
