Abstract

Based on our previous distributed e-learning platform, Asian-Mind, this paper presents the course assignment in Asian-mind´s learning broadcast channel for the distance learning courses of Shih-Chien University, Taipei Campus. The popular courses are allocated to the broadcast channel with more broadcast time. The others are still remained the uni-cast on-demand service. The broadcast channel can serve the student´s accesses at university campus or at their homes with the university ADSL pay service. And from the workload analysis, this approach can get the merit of bandwidth sharing for the most popular courses.
