Oct 1, 2013: New features in SLIC Portal:

A lot has changed in the SLIC interface since last year. We are happy to present to you an updated SLIC Portal, which includes a lot of new features:

Browsing the categories is now much easier thanks to the hierarchical "tree" that lists talks and courses
We will be uploading a lot more course lectures from previous years!
Searching slide words now takes into an account the state of the categories' checkboxes
- users can search globally or narrow their search down to a specific category
- the search terms stay in effect when the user opens a video page (effectively searching within the selected presentation)
- search results can be further sorted based on various criteria (e.g. by displaying the most recently presented talks first)
Video page and the corresponding presentation information have been updated to provide more details
Slides' timing information has been added to show when a slide has been shown multiple times

Oct 25, 2012: New features in SLIC Portal:

new interface design, colors, top bar menus
the overview of the available presentations in "SLIC view": the presentation information (e.g. title, speaker, etc.) along with the slides displayed during the presentation
- for convenience, the user's choice of the view (SLIC or tiled) is remembered
new options to filter the presentations by: year range and category type
search through slide words, both globally and locally
- global search queries slide words of *all* of the available presentations
- local search queries slide words for the current presentation that the user is watching
- the user can always go back to their global search results by clicking on the "Browse"
- after running a query, only the slides relevant to the search query show up in the SLIC view
- if a user clicks on the slide thumbnail of the resulting presentations, the video will start playing from the point when this slide was shown
- the query can be conveniently cleared using the "x" (clear) button
a user can send Feedback from any page - we collect basic information (e.g. the OS and browser versions) to debug the reported issues
updated and enhanced security in query handling
the interface is viewable on mobile devices - fits nicely on the screen
