Abstract :
We describe a broadband multimedia telelearning system under development in the Multimedia Information Research Laboratory at the University of Ottawa. The system aims at providing a seamless multimedia telelearning platform using the latest telecommunication and multimedia information processing technologies. The main technology components of the system are: media production center, courseware author system, multimedia database, courseware navigator, and on-line facilitator. All these components are distributed over an ATM network and work together to offer a multimedia interactive courseware service. An MHEG-based model is developed to achieve the interchange of reusable information between these components
