 Multimedia Integrated Distance Education System for Student- Professor
                           Collaboration



                              ABSTRACT

The collaborative multimedia distance system under developing at Sung Kyun 
Kwan University in Korea would take its position in delivery of educational services in such a distributed
multimedia networked environment where location and time to join a class are not any more stumbling block
block both students taking lessons and teachers giving their lectures in synchronous and asynchronous modes.

  Our distance education system based on computer-based multimedia technology features with session management
for multiple and concurrent classes as well as desktop video/audio conferencing for creating face-to-face 
feeling between the students and a professor being in a collaboration and whiteboard for shared workspace to 
allow user's interactions in a cyber space. 
 
  The application sharing mechanism implemented in our system adds much more convenience and flexibility in 
instructional design and presenting lectures to participants joining a class through allowing them to use 
the contents with no modification, which are prepared using all commodity applications running on Windows - 3.1,
- 95, and - NT.

  Such Computer-Based Multimedia Distance Education System contributes to implement an integrated distance 
education environment at reasonable price and address most of the problems facing both major approaches to 
distance education: expensive CATV-based video telelearning system and PSTN-based noninteractive distance 
education system.
