Abstract

The use of multimedia in Telematics
and new services has been greatly improved by the
introduction of new systems and techniques. These
new systems and techniques made the implementation
of many telematic applications like Synchronous
Distance Learning possible. In this paper, we present
design, functionality and implementation issues, which
concern a Synchronous Distance Learning
application. The described application is a networkbased
application, which can be used over IP and
ISDN networks. In addition the implemented
Synchronous Distance Learning application uses an
innovative chair control module, which does not
require any support from the MCU (Multipoint
Control Unit).
