Abstract:
The Internet is fast becoming the vehicle of choice for
disseminating learning across distances. The main aim of
this thesis work is to achieve a realization of Classroom Environment,
by combining asynchronous and synchronous teaching-learning contents and
activities, through the Internet. The thesis work is divided into two main
parts. First part is development of Lecture Preparation Application for the
teacher. It makes it easy to divide complete Lecture into Sections and allows
rapid integration of Text, Pictures and Sound in required format. It provides
facilities of importing Text and Figures through Scanner and allows
formatting of Lecture content. Provision for recording and compressing
Sound narration for each Screen is available. The teacher can easily preview
and navigate through complete Lecture during its development.
Second part is the development of Server Side Software that provides basic
logging facilities to the teachers and the students of different Subjects. The teacher can
easily upload all Lecture content without any need of manually selecting the files.
Activation of Lecture offers different Modes of Classroom, thus it is possible to deliver
prepared Lecture content with or without Live Query and Response with Blackboard
content, with or without Live Audio and Video facility. It also provides student’s status
monitoring. After live class is over, the teacher has the facility to combine prepared
Lecture material with interactive Live Class’s content, thus producing a new reference
material. Server Side Software manages attendance record of the students and provides
browsing of Lecture material with merged Queries, after Live Class Sessions.
