Abstract
Although the Internet offers great opportunities for educational purposes, its full potential cannot be realized unless it can be used effectively for lecture delivery across vast distances. However, the best‐effort nature of the current Internet means that many technical issues have to be resolved to ensure that the quality of video and audio play‐out will be acceptable. Presents an end‐to‐end solution for Internet delivery of “live” and recorded lectures based on a one‐to‐many server‐clients topology. The focus is on low‐bandwidth technology to minimize the students’ client side equipment overheads. Describes the development of an integrated quality of service control mechanism comprising both congestion control and error control and how the solution has been implemented as a Web‐based learn‐on‐demand system. Presents a performance analysis of the system.
