Abstract

The recent emergence of the World Wide Web (WWW) and Internet is changing the studying habits of people. More and more institutions require an effective and flexible application to launch their distance learning programs on the WWW. Learn@Net is a possible solution. Learn@Net is a server-based distance learning system designed to provide centralized, flexible control and easy administration of online distance learning applications. It relies on an open architecture based on TCP/IP, HTML, Java and SQL. It involves functions such as virtual classroom, assignment handler, course material browser, discussion forum and online chat room to facilitate both online teaching and online learning through the WWW
