Multimedia Synchronization Protocol Dedicated for Virtual Classrooms over Narrowband networks

Abstract

This paper is presenting design and implementation of web based e-learning synchronization protocol. The protocol is HTTP/TCP based and specifically designed to increase the cognitive productivity of learning session conducted over the internet in analogous scheme to real classroom interaction.

The presenting protocol is holding an innovative technique to enhance the performance of broadcasting whiteboards and classrooms to distributed students over narrowband networks. In narrowband networks race condition is raised between multimedia streams  in gaining network bandwidth.

Throughout presented protocol; multimedia streams are packetized and synchronized in a compatible model for the cognitive natural learning mechanisms for the human being where actions drag attention and continuous interaction maintain the focus.
