Abstract :
This paper presents a desktop video conferencing system, called Seodang, for collaborative learning. Seodang enables individuals to participate in telelearning, connecting people together over distances in natural ways for the purpose of learning. The system consists of a video conferencing system and application-specific programs. The video conferencing system provides two-way audio and video communications using MuX. Other application programs include shared electronic whiteboard, query control system, presentation manager and student database manager. Each of these applications provides useful tools that improve the quality of learning, while students are allowed to participate interactively. Design and implementation of the system is presented along with its communication characteristics
