Abstract

Videoconferences are becoming increasingly frequent on the Internet and are generating much research interest. Readily available software tools enable real-time audio and video channels as well as shared whiteboards that allow groups to collaborate on distributed group work more quickly and easily than ever. The paper considers how the Internet infrastructure is beginning to support videoconferencing applications in several ways. It particularly focuses on some of the problems experienced in the virtual classroom
