METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR PRESENTING AND RECORDING CLASS SESSIONS IN A VIRTUAL CLASSROOM

摘要

The present invention provides an improved distance learning solution. According to one embodiment of the invention, there provides a method for delivering a class session to students with client terminals in a virtual classroom. In this method, operations performed at a super client terminal in accordance with a teacher's actions are interpreted. The operations performed at the super client terminal includes presenting media objects selected by the teacher, that are pre­stored on a storage medium such as an optical disc. Then, relevant commands and parameters based on the teacher's actions are sent to client terminals to cause similar operations to be performed on the client terminals. In this way, the students' experience relating to presentation of the media objects at the clients terminals is controlled based on the operations performed at the super client. The whole class session in the virtual classroom including all the interactions among the class participants can be recorded and subsequently simulated.
