Development of asynchronous e-learning systems with the use of Java technology

E learning is one of the revolutions that where born through the growth of the new technologies and the Internet and change everyone´s way of view about education and the deliver of knowledge. It is used more and more in education as it can deliver knowledge through internet to every corner of the planet. For development e-learning systems are used various technologies and Java technology could be one of them offering unique features to these systems. Java has emerged as a powerful programming language for developing platform-independent, interactive software that can be used on the World Wide Web through a Java-enabled Web browser. This paper introduces the Java programming language, the possibilities available by using Java in asynchronous e-learning systems and an example of a self paced system that was created with Java.
