Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a collaborative learning environment called Virtual Tutor for exploiting valuable digital libraries for teaching and learning. Virtual Tutor facilitates the building of online lectures and their provision. It also supports collaborative and explorative learning. We describe the architecture of the system and its functionality. A summative evaluation is conducted on the system. The paper concludes by comparing the Virtual Tutor functionality with similar approaches and highlighting the strengths of the Virtual Tutor design.
