The development of a Web-based teaching system for engineering education

This article discusses the development of a real-time interactive Web-based teaching system for engineering students. This remote teaching system will provide flexibility in future college education and could benefit distance learners wishing to update their knowledge or skill without interfering with their jobs. In addition to delivering conventional lecture notes via the Web and providing interactive feedback, the system enables some practical work to be distributed via the Internet; results of the work are monitored and analysed. Finally, the effectiveness of various approaches to using the Web for distance learning is reported
