Abstract

In recent years, due to the improvement in network speed, it has become possible to deliver diverse multimedia applications in near real time, and remote education is an area that can most benefit from such developments. In this way, large numbers of people have the opportunity to learn anywhere and at any time. With remote education, the proper use of multimedia components is an essential factor for achieving higher learning efficiency. However, the main prevailing tools used for contents creation do not explicitly provide a detail-level interface for combining possible media components. Most importantly, an interface that can coordinate the synchronization between hybrid media is required. In this paper, we present two additional types of teaching media, namely slides and handwriting. Moreover, we present an encoder interface that can combine these media with the conventional video streaming format.
