The Distance Learning Project (DLP) group at the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Padova has developed a real-time interactive platform for teleteaching, using the most modern multimedia technologies, over a wired WAN intranet. The core aspect of the system is the full integration of several communication channels (audio, video and data) into a digital flow, granting high quality communications among a number of remote classrooms, with a 2 Mbps bandwidth limit for each lesson being delivered. The second main feature is the high quality streaming performance for real-time multimedia presentation and the possibility of live interaction between the teacher and the students in remote classrooms. Finally the fully open-source solution allows any equipped classroom to be used either for teaching or for attending lessons, with no need to plan the connections in advance.

Abstract
The Distance Learning Project (DLP) group at the Department of Information Engineering of the University of Padova has developed a real-time interactive platform for teleteaching, using the most modern multimedia technologies, over a wired WAN intranet. The core aspect of the system is the full integration of several communication channels (audio, video and data) into a digital flow, granting high quality communications among a number of remote classrooms, with a 2 Mbps bandwidth limit for each lesson being delivered. The second main feature is the high quality streaming performance for real-time multimedia presentation and the possibility of live interaction between the teacher and the students in remote classrooms. Finally the fully open-source solution allows any equipped classroom to be used either for teaching or for attending lessons, with no need to plan the connections in advance.Pubblicazioni consigliate
