This page shows the demonstration of Mobile Classroom conducted at Burirum, the north-eastern part ofThailand. Lecture was given directly from the archaeological site at which an ancient furnace was discovered. Furnace was used to produce ceramical and iron products around 1,000 years ago. Lecture was sent from the archaeological site over the satellite directly to SOAS, UK. Satellite dish, connection and full satellite networksetup was kindly donated by the Telephone Authority of Thailand for educational purposes.Mobile Classroom (MC) is a real-time e-learning application used in VClass platform.It uses Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) as its main underlying protocol. MC is integrated into an existing VClass e-learning platform and uses its Learning Management System (LMS) in order to operate with full potential. Mobile Classroom can be used to setup various learning environments ranging from a static remote lecture to a completely mobile environment where class participants are located inside ad-hoc networks. Features of this application include :Class presenceAudio/Video conferencingInstant messagingInstant message loggingPresentation slides with remote pointerMulticast whiteboardWebcast viewingShared folderOnline error/bug reportingScreenshots of Mobile Classroom during its testing period are available here.
