Description
Summary:Distance learning is ein alternative for mass education without dependencies on physical education resources, This approach is very important for developing countries like Indonesia. Unfortunately. these countries usually have !United Internet bandwidth required to deliver distance learning materials effectively. so the challenge is to implement distance learning over such limitations. We developed an arhitecture and tools to cope with Internet limitation and share learning resources. The architecture consists of a learning management system as the engine for the distance learning system, a set of metadata to help disseminate information about learning materials, an e-mail-based query tool, and a web browser that works based on the principle of user-oriented quality of service. Collectively, these tools provide students with lowbanthvidth Internet connection access to learning materials. either using online or offline mechanism.
