Here are some of the Olonkho-related projects sponsored under the North-<br />

Eastern University’s Development Programme.<br />

The cultural heritage television channel Olonkho broadcasts through<br />

Yakutsk’s Helios cable network. It airs educational programmes and culture<br />

content 16 hours per day.<br />

To be launched soon are the channels Olonkho HD (high-definition video) and<br />

Olonkho 3D (three-dimensional stereo).<br />

Internet television (http://olonkho.info/InternetTV/) and Internet radio<br />

(www.olonkho.info/internet_TV) allow to watch and listen to epic and other<br />

folkloric narrative recitations (recent and archival alike) any time of the day or<br />

night -- something that traditional media cannot possibly provide.<br />

All events held as part of the Epic Heritage Archiving project are now filmed<br />

in FullHD. This format provides footage of excellent quality, with images five<br />

times as large as ones obtainable with analogue television systems such as PAL<br />

or SECAM.<br />

Used in teaching tools, digital technology may dramatically enhance the<br />

learning effect. Interactive maps and drawings stimulate our cognitive instinct<br />

more than conventional ones do, enabling us to learn more easily and effectively.<br />

3D visualization technology allows us to better feel the energy of a live event,<br />

such as a folk festival, and to identify with it.<br />

Reinforced with the multi-channel 5.1 or 7.1 sound, a 3D video makes a much<br />

more powerful experience than two-dimensional footage.<br />

3D scanners and printers make it possible to produce a digital threedimensional<br />

copy of an artefact and to then print it out for academic use.<br />

The North-Eastern University has already acquired some practical experience<br />

in using 3D technology in educational projects.<br />

Indeed, modern life requires that research and academic materials be broadly<br />

represented in cyberspace. Olonkho IS, along with its Olonkho Info portal,<br />

should try to meet this challenge. For the Olonkho state target programme, this<br />

is a strategic life-support system as well as a modern networking hub, which can<br />

facilitate and enhance efforts to preserve, study and promote the Yakut epic.<br />
