Abstract

This paper describes a novel, learner-centered technology for authoring Web lectures. Besides seamless integration of video and audio feeds, Microsoft PowerPoint slides, and Web-pages, the proposed online learning facility (OLF) also facilitates online interactive testing and review of covered materials, online provision of feedback, real-time navigable lesson structure, e-mail, threaded discussion and a chat room. To assess the effectiveness of interactive learning in OLF environment, we conducted a small research study using OLF-based Web lectures in the context of a tutorial on multi-agent systems (MAS)
