Abstract

In this paper, we are proposing a web-based virtual collaboration system for e-learning system. We propose new multimedia presentation and recordable virtual collaboration which supports synchronized multimedia presentation using Synchronous Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL). It allows synchronization of the contents of a PowerPoint presentation file and a video file so that the presentation shows slides and video on the same topic at any given time. The resulting SMIL file is used to provide multimedia presentation for image intensive discussion. Participants can use text along with associated symbols during the discussion over the presented power point slides. The symbols such as arrows or polygons have x-y coordinates within the slides to represent associated participants’ questions and answers. Those can be set or removed dynamically to represent areas of questions in slides using so called layered architecture that separates slide layer from annotation layer. Those annotations can be easily hidden for training purposes. XML files are used to record participants’ questions and answers along with the associated elements such as arrows and polygons over some particular images.
