Abstract (2. Language):
This paper describes an architectural framework and a prototype implementation of a
web-based multi-channel e-Learning application that allows students, lecturers and the
research communities to collaborate irrespective of the communication device a user is
carrying. The application was developed based on the concept of ‘right once run on any
browser’ for different range of devices including WAP Phones, Laptop/Personal
Computer(PC), Pocket PC and Personal Digital Assistants(PDAs), on a three tier
architecture – the client tier, web server tier and database tier.
As supported in traditional classroom, some requirements for e-Learning were acquired
and corresponding application modules to service each requirement were identified. A
prototype application was developed for one of the modules – File Transfer module
using Microsoft Visual Studio.Net platform.
The architecture will serve as a reference for the research communities and software
developers in the area of multi-channel support for e-Learning web application. The e-
Learning application when fully implemented will provide a basic platform for learning
and enable students in remote locations have access to costly and scarce scientific
equipment for carrying out experiments in the laboratory.
