Abstract :
This paper proposes a higher education distance learning system using video, audio, and character-based communications via the Internet, to sites where for various reasons, sufficient network infrastructure using cables and fibers cannot be installed. The aim of this research is to create a way of delivering a lecture to those for whom it would otherwise be inaccessible. We succeeded in building a distance learning system with sufficient of video and audio quality based on Internet technology using satellite communication.
