Abstract

Most of the computer-based distance learning systems are asynchronous ones that allow students to download from the server the lecture previously given by a lecturer. While these asynchronous systems has the advantage that enable students to view the lecture with no time restriction, the study may not be effective due to the lack of support for real-time interaction between students and lecturers. Based on the student-lecturer-collaboration session model, this paper presents a collaboration session-centric synchronous distance learning system that supports real-time interaction between students and teachers, awareness information during lecture, and feedback from students. Basic feature of the proposed system include audio and video conferencing, text-based chat, and shared slide with annotation support.

컴퓨터 기반의 원격교육 시스템의 대부분은 학생이 강의자에 의해 이미 강의된 내용을 서버로부터 다운로드하여 보는 형태의 비동기식(asynchronous) 원격 교육 시스템이다. 이러한 비동기적인 시스템의 경우, 시간에 구애 받지 않고 강의 내용을 볼 수 있다는 장점이 있는 반면, 학생과 강의자간의 실시간 상호작용 등을 지원하지 않음으로 인하여 학습 효과가 떨어질 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 학생과 강의자 간의 협업 세션(collaboration session) 모델을 기반으로 하여, 학생과 강의자간의 실시간 상호작용, 강의 중의 인지 정보, 그리고 학생으로부터의 피드백을 지원하는 협업 세션 중심의 동기식 원격 교육 시스템(collaboration session-centric synchronous distance learning system)을 제안하였다. 제안된 시스템의 기본 기능에는 음성 및 화상 회의(audio and video conferencing), 텍스트 기반 채트, 주석(annotation)이 가능한 공유 슬라이드가 포함된다.
