Although a lot of people are interested in astronomical objects, it is difficult to teach astronomy in school. One of the reasons for the difficulty is that students can not observe astronomical objects in school. We consider that the Internet and its multimedia applications can resolve this problem. On November 19th, 1995, we had a very unusual astronomical phenomenon. We broadcasted the real time video of this astronomical phenomenon to the Internet. This experiment shows that the Internet has the advantages for classroom lessons in astronomy. We consider classroom lessons of astronomy using the Internet and its multimedia applications.

This paper describes the query architecture and implementation of a multimedia clipart library which is based on an existing distributed file system. We describe the design and implementation of a multimedia browser editor based on OLE and ODBC technology which adds the necessary query and browse functionally which is typically lacking in a file system.

The capability to deliver continuous media to the workstation and meet its real time processing requirements is recognised as the central element of future distributed multimedia courseware. In this process, user perception of quality of service (QoS) plays an important role. Since people have different expectations we concluded that it is important to ensure that courseware packages meet the user perceived QoS rather than commonly defined QoS. To investigate this hypothesis, we have constructed a multi agent testbed (MAT) for integrated management of resource distribution. We present an overview of the MAT architecture, and discuss a case study in which the MAT is being used to assess the impact of the quality of presentation decline from the perceived QoS on student's learning process.

The amount of access that students have to the WWW makes curriculum publication via this medium almost mandatory. We report on current work employing the WWW to publicise student laboratory class lists, illustrated lecture material and course information. E-mail was employed between the lecturer and students as an alternative to consultation. An examination was run via the WWW in a laboratory of computers. Responses were collated, marked and disseminated automatically via special software. The same software was employed to run a feedback questionnaire. Student evaluation of the WWW facility was favourable. The tedious and error prone nature of exam marking was also removed.

This paper presents the content of the television distance education course called management of software projects. It is a mandatory course of the undergraduate program of computer science from University Laval. Thirteen television programs are used to show the workplace reality. The first part of this paper summarizes the result of the needs analysis that drives us to design and develop this kind of distance learning material. The second part gives an idea of the knowledge that students must acquire. The third part gives emphasis to the use of television programs to share parts of the professional lives of forty experienced managers of software projects.

This paper investigates same problems of distance education including allegations of a "teacher-center" paradigm, differing students abilities to interact with a common set of data and student isolation. It proposes a solution Collaborative Distance Learning (CDL) based an the combination of "any time any place" groupware technology and a specific methodology. This paper also proposes a modelling framework, within which a model for CDL is identified.

This paper describes a Distributed Hypermedia Educational System (DHES) that applies the most current distributed hypermedia technologies for instructional delivery. The system provides more realistic learning environment than that are currently available in all the electronic educational systems. It offers the advantages of simulated face-to-face interaction as well as self-learning. The system incorporated most of the essential Internet services such as customized email, file transfer, remote log in to another host and World Wide Web navigator. The system has been field tested and the experience has been most encouraging.

The project was to develop a software delivered diagnostic and remedial system for business students taking subjects in quantitative methods. The system is comprised of a module to diagnose a student's background mathematical knowledge and modules to which the student is directed to remedy any deficiencies that are found. The remedial modules focus on common areas of weakness in mathematics and revise the basic mathematical tools that are needed by business students. For example, there are currently nine modules of which three deal with numbers, graphs and the solution of equations. With the use of multimedia facilities incorporating colour and animation, the system can be perceptually more varied, more interesting and easier to use than existing print based information. For maximum accessibility and ease of implementation, the software was designed to run in a Windows environment using the authoring language Asymetrix "Multimedia Toolbook". The system is run and administered on the University's Novell network, but the developed software can be readily distributed and run independently of the network. This allows the software to be used off-campus, and makes the system equally accessible to students who are studying by distance education, open learning or who are located on an overseas campus.

Telematics and its implications has entered the scene of education with an explosion. Multimedia has been accepted by the masses as a coined term. World Wide Web has increasingly been used for course and information delivery, and is now a widely accepted tool for teaching and learning. The general nature of this paper is meant to provoke argument about these issues and represent what many of you have already been discussing amongst yourselves. Although it has the elements of a survey, it only attempts to point a vector at selected features of the current situation which is of interest to engineering educators.

This paper presents the results from a preliminary study conducted with elementary school-aged children and the software design process as it relates to educational software. The aspect of the study examines the effect of the design and user-interface elements on the student. Through testing, observation, and discussion the children shared their comments and suggestion for educational software. While data collection and statistical analysis is an efficient means of presenting results, this initial paper will focus on the qualitative analysis of CBE software in the areas of Language Arts and Mathematics.
