Abstract
Integrating WebRTC technology into web application platforms is often a challenge for developers because they are forced to implement a solution for mapping users at both the signaling side and the application server side. This paper proposes a plug-in to map the users of an e-learning platform and WEBRTC. It’s dedicated to developers to enable them solve the complexity associated with signaling WebRTC, thus offering a convenient user-management system. Indeed, we have implemented an algorithm to merge a user of the e-learning platform and its corresponding signaling side (WebRTC) into a logical structure. This plug-in provides a mechanism that requires a page view of exchanges (videoconferencing, chatting, screen sharing or file transfer) at the level of the web platform. This allows to maintain exchange in real time between the users’ side web application and the server WebRTC. To do this, it was necessary to use the WebSocket API to manage bidirectional communication between the web server and the signaling server. This plug-in has been successfully integrated into an e-learning platform based on WebRTC technology.
