Tele-Ed: A Web Application for Distance Learning Using Real Time Multicast

Abstract

The use of real time multimedia in education has been greatly improved thanks to the advance of Internet communication, e.g., wired or even also wireless bandwidth links. This constant progress enhances the implementation of many real time applications like collaborative and tele-teaching applications. In this work, authors present design and implementation issues for Tele-ed, i.e., an authorpsilas tool for video content delivery which concerns an Internet based distant learning application. Video content delivery focuses on multicast transmission which has been used to develop successfully Tele-ed.
