However, current distant learningexperiments require video conferencing rooms equipped with professionalaudio/video equipment and professional operators. In this thesis, we develop a Desktop Virtual Classroom (DVC) which only requires general purpose workstation and video capture cards. With DVC system, a teacherand more than one students can form a virtual classroom environment remotelyover ATM networks. Besides two-way interactive communication of audio andvideo among the teacher and students, DVC system also provide share whiteboardapplication for graphic communication, chat room application for text-baseddiscussion, and synchronized display of HTML-based lecture notes. Therefore, with the help of shared tools and advant ATM technology, our DVC system provides a better teaching and learning environment than the conventionalface-to-face method.
