An Internet device for communicating and sharing resources can easily be used to set up an eLearning service.

There are two types of service. One involving direct communication between student and teacher; and one involving the publication of a lesson for a number of people at the same time.

Both student and teacher need simple tools that do not require the configuration of dedicated software.

The teacher installs the dedicated client and waits for the connections to his/her own pupils.

Students connect up to a signed applet that requires permission to use the personal computer resources.

The same applet performs the downloading, installation and configuration of the software being shared.

The teacher’s desktop appears on the students’ screen.
There is also the possibility of vocal connection, as well as sharing to make it easier to communicate with students.

There may also be a recording and play-back module to save the contents of a lesson ready for publishing.
