Abstract :
The paper shows a distance learning system with huge benefits, that incorporates two methodologies for distance learning: with and without the presence of the teacher, professor or speaker. This system allows giving a class in real time, creating and studying multimedia courses. For the interactive courses, the system uses several protocols over IP, and several compression algorithms. Also the parameter QoT (Quality of Teaching) is defined. The system has been designed in a modular structure so that new modules can be easily added
