....lectures, it remains generally applicable for any audio and video supported chairperson controlled conference over the Internet. 1 Introduction The use of information and communication technology in teaching and learning has initiated a transition to remotely sourced university lectures; [10,23,26] are a few examples. In such a scenario, lecturers and students are separated in space, i.e. students can attend lectures from almost everywhere and in particular from home. As already noticed by others it can be foreseen that this tendency will continuously increase [2,3,6] The reasons are ....
....A uniform management platform is needed that covers lecture participation and individual audio and video supported discussions among participants. 3 Implementation Distance education systems as in use today, mainly cover the distribution of audio and video data from a lecturer to remote students [23]. Interaction between student and lecturer is performed by sending e mails or asking lecture assistance via textual chatting features. Some other distance education scenarios simply offer conference protocols [10] based on the MBONE [15] tools. Again others [5] try to integrate audio and video ....

....possibilities for enhancing the on demand educational experience, including new opportunities for asynchronous interaction. For example, the Internet is allowing students to watch courses on demand using streaming media from their homes and offices. And students who watch lectures online (e.g. [33]) can often participate in discussions around the material using email, newsgroups, and chat rooms. But even so, the interactions occur outside the lecture context. Class bulletin boards or newsgroups are usually accessed after, not while, a student listens to a lecture. And the commentary that is ....
....The Classroom 2000 project [1] focuses on capturing all aspects of a live classroom experience (including whiteboard strokes) and making it available for subsequent student access. The same is being done, with less rich indices, by most major universities exploring the distance learning market [33][36] 9] Although MRAS is a powerful system for storing indices, our focus is on more dynamic, asynchronous content. WebCT [38] and Lotus LearningSpace [20] are commercially available systems for creating educational web sites. They support chat, email, and bulletin boards for communication, and ....
