Real Class System is a
distance education (or distance learning) system. Distance education also
known as distance learning , is a method of instruction and learning
designed to overcome barriers of time and space by allowing students to
study in their own homes or at local facilities, often at their own
convenience, using materials available electronically or by mail. Contact
with the instructor usually occurs via telephone or e-mail.
Telecommunication networks and teleconferencing have facilitated distance
learning. Libraries are working to support distance learning by providing
online catalogs and databases, electronic reserves, electronic reference
service, online tutorials, and electronic document delivery.
The Real
Class System consists of four modules which are the Real Class Center,
the Data
Transmit Unit, the Teacher Client and the Student Client.
Through the combined use of the four modules, it achieves the distance
learning function. The four modules' introductions are:
- Real Class Center : It is the total control
center in the Real Class System.
- Data Transmit Unit: DTU (Data Transmit
Unit) is transparent to teacher and student clients
- Teacher Client: It is the teacher's
console, and provides real-time video, audio, text and electronic
lesson plans what the teacher is teaching on the screen to students.
- Student Client: Student client can join
a class and take part in real time communication with the teacher in
different network or different place.
