Broadcast learning system using multicast address

Nowadays, teaching and learning process using computers becomes inseparable process, especially on information technology department. The teaching process often occurs on the laboratory, which is every student will do the learning process in front of a computer. A computer can help the learning process but also can disturb the learning process because student can be distracted to do something else. Therefore, this research will develop server and client applications to help control the process of learning and teaching that give on a computer laboratory by broadcast everything that show on computer server monitor to each client. The server can also control the keyboard, mouse, monitor and terminate or block an application that run on computer client. This application will be build using Microsoft Visual C#. Testing results showed that the number of clients does not affect the bandwidth consumption and CPU usage at broadcast. The smooth multicast depends on several factors such as type of image compression and resolution sizes. Selection resolution size and type appropriate image compression is recommended that more real-time multicast.
