计算机论文 :INTERNET AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY ADAPTAT[1]
AbstractWith the availability of reasonably cost-effective servers, computing facilities and a fairly reliable and wide spread telecommunication and data network infrastructure, the emergence of "Virtual Technological Institution" is a distinct reality. In this paper we present a model which has been used to implement the features of the conventional education system over Internet.

1. IntroductionQuality education to increasingly large and diverse student population is posing serious problems for academia, especially in the developing world where sufficient infrastructure is yet not in place. A case under consideration is the acute shortage of quality manpower to take care of various facets of the IT industry. The Internet and Information Technology, which have unleashed unprecedented changes in all walks of life including making inroads in higher education sector, may be harnessed to solve the problem.
Specifically, the demand of the time is: 1) how to provide quality education to a large set; and 2) how to improve the efficiency of the delivery for the purpose. Many researchers all over have addressed to these issues. Numerous solutions have been provided ranging from a simple local bulletin board system to that based on global Internet and World Wide Web.
A very important ingredient of any solution to a technological university is the requirement of a powerful interaction in the form of group activity and the feedback from the participants. Keeping all these factors in mind we have attempted to implement a Virtual University Concept.
In this paper we present a model, which mimics all the functionalities of a technological university. In Section 2, we describe the Model. Section 3 covers the implementation. The Management System is described in Section 4. Features of the Virtual Classroom are listed in Section 5.
