An Integrated Multimedia System for Web-Based University Education

Overview

This paper presents a pilot educational project aimed to develop an integrated system to allow the teaching community to experiment and evaluate the benefits of multimedia lessons. The key issues of the project are the development of a structured database, the design of multimedia templates, the implementation of a web based authoring application that enables professors to be course builders, and the delivery mechanisms to dynamically generate multimedia content. This paper discusses the concept and realization of the system as well as the first results accompanying the project.
