Construct Collaborative Distance Learning Environment with VNC Technology

The collaborative distant learning environment has an extensive application prospect in modern computer supported network education. This paper presents a framework of constructing the distance collaborative learning environment with the virtual network computing technology. The cooperative participators use the VNC virtual desktop to share the same teaching program and cooperate in the common education tasks. The environment realizes and supports the collaborative distant learning functions of the one to one, one to more and more to more teaching modes with share-screen technology. The framework can be applied to build the distance collaborative learning environment with original teaching program quickly and economically.
