Abstract

WebRTC (Web Real-Time-Communications) enable blended learning in universities and support the “virtual universities”. A primary challenges of the traditional technologies such as IPv4/IPv6 and TCP is the reliability. Besides, there is no free, high-quality and complete solution available that enables communication by the Web browser. In this paper, we investigate the problem of e-Learning system based on WebRTC, and propose the web-based Skyclass system on Kurento Media Server. Users may select the recorded courseware, join the real-time classroom in interactive learning methods by text, video and audio. A system with a user-friendly interface is designed, based on which experiments are performed to evaluated the effectiveness of the proposed system which can support up to 9 interactions at the same time.
