A modular system tool for the distance learning

Abstract

The work presented in this paper is related with the development and integration of important communication, and creation, tools that allowed the authors to build a flexible and modular system dedicated to distance learning by computer communication. The distance learning system supports many facilities for publication, storage and dissemination of hypermedia documents integrated with multimedia applications such as interactive videoconferencing, voice-over-IP, video-on-demand as well as chat and whiteboard functionalities. Others important characteristics outlined are the possibility to create and manage course's sites, to manage classes, to structure dates and deadlines and mainly to synchronize the different kind of media during sessions.
