“…The teacher applet contains a multi-thread communication module which manages the synchronization of all VLs connected in the virtual class (see Subsection 4.3). In contrast with server-based approaches (Shirmohammadi, De Oliveira & Georganas, 1998;Shirmohammadi, El Saddik, Georganas & Steinmetz, 2003), this e-learning system is focused in a server-less architecture. This communication method provides several advantages.…”

“…However, this approach cannot be applied to VLs because some events may happen without an user interaction. Authors have developed a method based on Java object tokens (Shirmohammadi, De Oliveira & Georganas, 1998) which is able to synchronize in real-time all VLs connected to the virtual class. Java object tokens are small update messages which contain a string object which defines the action to perform.…”

“…This is the case of JETS (Shirmohammadi, De Oliveira & Georganas, 1998) and JASMINE (Shirmohammadi, El Saddik, Georganas & Steinmetz, 2003). JETS (Java Enabled Telecollaboration System) is a client-server framework which allows sharing Java applets.…”

Web-based learning environments are becoming increasingly popular in higher education. One of the most important web learning resources is the virtual laboratory (VL), which gives students an easy way for training and learning through the Internet. Moreover, on-line collaborative communication represents a practical method to transmit the knowledge and experience from the teacher to students overcoming physical distance and isolation. Considering these facts, the authors of this document have developed a new dynamic collaborative e-learning system which combines the main advantages of virtual laboratories and collaborative learning practices. In this system, the virtual laboratories are based on Java applets which have embedded simulations developed in Easy Java Simulations (EJS), an open-source tool for teachers who do not need complex programming skills. The collaborative e-learning is based on a real-time synchronized communication among these Java applets. Therefore, this original approach provides a new tool which integrates virtual laboratories inside a synchronous collaborative e-learning framework. This paper describes the main features of this system and its successful application in a distance education environment among different universities from Spain.

This paper discusses different design possibilities of multimedia collaborative environments. The main function of such environments is to share multimedia resources among several geographically distributed users. To optimize the use of bandwidth and compensate for latency, we have chosen an approach that sends as small amount of information as possible for the updates, namely events. Therefore, we will describe six different architectures to achieve such a goal. These prototypes (jStreaming, JETS, JASMINE, JASBER and two Collaborative Virtual Environments) are fully written in Java.
