A Platform for the Implementation of the Services of an Educational Network

Multimedia and hypermedia had and still have a tremendous impact on the evolution of educational software. In this paper we propose a platform for the implementation of the services of an educational network over TCP/IP networks such as the Internet. Our proposal aims at providing an integrated communicational environment which supplies the communicative needs of one educational community, using the latest telecommunication and multimedia information processing technology. We propose various kinds of communication forms for the interaction between the participants.
