Abstract:
In this work we report a software platform for synchronous distance learning, which makes the presence of
teachers in the student’s house possible, deploying the same class, in the same time, with the same mates,
through the internet. Thus the working scenery is a normal student room, in which some students are present
and some others are virtual students with interactive presence that allows to participate, be interrogated by
the professor, and maintaining a fluid communication with partners. Several important technical aspects has
been solved using public domain components: web-browsers, blackboards, on-line messaging –chats,
forums-, and real time sound delivery. All these components have been integrated in a user friendly
environment with record of use, and interface customisation for different age-levels. The participation of
learners, psychologist, computer-science technicians and teachers has allowed a very simple but powerful
way to integrate our children in the educ
ational circuit.
