A large segment of people across the world have to search and browse
the distance learning media, which calls for better indexing techniques. In this
chapter, we introduce such an indexing technique by making full use of the slide
channel. The slide channel is created by matching slides to video segments, and the
video can be better indexed by mining the information in slide channel. Then we
introduce several applications that benefit from the slide channel.
