“…Unlike the single classroom architecture, this setting enables students to study from a remote distance without having a need to be physically present in the classroom. Consequently, it opens a new window for education and allows students to study from their workplaces or houses while enabling them attend to their personal, family or work related responsibilities [12].…”

This paper provides an overview of the technologies used in smart classrooms for distance education by classifying smart classrooms into four categories and discussing the type of technologies used in their implementation. It gives an example of a successful implementation of distance education technology being used to link university campuses in Japan and the US, and describes its underlying architecture and implementation technologies. It examines the methodologies being used to make distance learning an exciting experience and as effective as the traditional classroom type education. Furthermore, the paper shows how a similar architecture can be extended to a model where a single local class can simultaneously cater to the needs of multiple remote classrooms and presents a workable solution to some of the technical challenges that exits in multipoint, multiple classroom architecture. Finally, it shows how some of the inherent challenges of the system are being managed and identifies physical and practical limitations of a multiple classroom architecture for a successful remote lecturing environment.

Online learning, defined broadly as recording and delivering classroom experience with technology, has tremendous potential. However, success to date has been very limited in science and engineering. We believe this is because traditional video recording is cumbersome and not suitable for technical lectures and removing live classroom interaction is detrimental to learning. Employing Tablet PCs with slide presentation software has made it simple and convenient to develop and record high quality lectures. We employ such videos in a hybrid model of coursework. All lectures are made available as online videos, but limited classroom interaction is an important component; the classroom is used for review of lecture material, examinations, demonstrations, tutorials, and handson sessions. The hybrid framework is particularly suitable for students with logistical difficulties, e.g., because of work schedule. This paper is an evaluation of the hybrid learning approach as applied to upper level computer science coursework. We report our experience in teaching a suite of hybrid courses at the University of Houston and discuss the detailed feedback we received from the students who participated in the courses.

We describe the main features of an Internet based distance learning environment that we are developing to teach a course on logic and functional programming for computer science students. The main goal of the system is to provide a minimal set of capabilities for a generic interpreter that will be instantiated for different programming languages and paradigms. The architecture of the system is based on the use of XML and web services to facilitate the integration and independence between the different development platforms and systems.
