So putting these ideas together for Distance Education
We have curricula authored in some fashion and placed on the Web -- it is shared by sharing specification of current Web Page
- At simplest this is URL but also supported using JavaScript API and Shared Web Page Events are:
- Shared Scrolling position
- Shared Pointer as DHTML layer
We have shared client side C++ object -- the digital audio-video conferencing subsystem
We have several shared Java applets
- One or more Chat rooms
- Whiteboard
- “Raised Hand” / Quiz applets for specialized teacher-student interactions
