Abstract

Many educational resources and objects have been developed as Java applets or applications, which can accessed by simply downloading them from various repositories. It is often necessary to share these resources in real time, for instance when an instructor teaches remote students how to use a certain resource explains the theory behind it. We have developed some tools for this purpose that emulate a virtual classroom, and are primarily designed for synchronous sharing of resources. They enable participants to share Java objects in real time and also allow the instructor to dynamically manage the telebearing session.
