Documents about groupware tools to support distance education

By Jacob Palme, e-mail: jpalme@dsv.su.se, at the research group for CMC (Computer Mediated Communication) in the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences at Stockholm University and KTH. Last update 23 October 1997. The URL of this web page is http://dsv.su.se/jpalme/distance-education/distance-education-overview.htm.

Roxanne Hiltz first developed these ideas in her Virtual Classroom extensions for teaching to EIES2. Tarja Lintunen and Kent Jansson studied her ideas, and Majid Aram developed a prototype for a new software designed for this. Tarja Lintunen, Sirkku Männikö and Jacob Palme tested the ideas using a conference system without these extensions. Jacob Palme has for many years unsuccessfully tried to get funding to implement these ideas in the Web4Groups conferencing system.
