Abstract

In this paper we present Shiksha − an integrated architecture which incorporates handwritten illustrations captured and rendered in a temporal fashion synchronized with audio and video data. The architecture of Shiksha permits non-linear growth in the form of multiple hierarchically organized play streams. We have developed an asynchronous multimedia conferencing application in which the users are provided with an authoring and rendering environment to record and view lectures. It also allows the users to ask and reply to doubts in the previously stored lectures making it a fully interactive but asynchronous system.
