Project Summary

The advent of the internet offered better opportunity for inventors to think of better ways of making the communication of video information from source to target in real time and with less cost. Many equipment have been developed to this effect. Further improvement has given birth to what is now known as teleconference. The word ‘tele’ means distance. The word ?conference‘ means consultations, discussions. Through teleconferencing two or more locations situated at a distance are connected so that they can hear or both see and hear each other. It allows the distant sites to interact with each other and with the teaching end through phone, fax, and e-mail. The interactions occur in real time. This means that the learners/participants and the resource persons are present at the same time in different locations and are able to communicate with each other. In some situations, questions can be faxed/e-mailed early for response by the resource persons conference is further described by Matthew Lombard and Theresa Ditton as ?an illusion that a mediated experience is not mediated." Today, it often considers the effect that people experience when they interact with a computer-mediated or computer-generated environment. The conceptualization of presence borrows from multiple fields including communication, computer science, psychology, science, engineering, philosophy, and the arts. The concept of presence accounts for a variety of computer applications and Web-based entertainment today that are developed on the fundamentals of the phenomenon, in order to give people the sense of, as Sheridan called it, ?being there." Since teleconferencing is actually a useful tool in organizations because it is solely used to bridge the geographical distance between two or more companies, and from my research, I have discovered that it is only big companies that can actually afford it, so I designed this project inorder to curb that trend that is allow smaller companies purchase and also make use of it.

Project Objectives

The major objective of this work is to develop a Computer Based Teleconference. It also targets at contributing to academic research work.

a. It Impacts on education by allowing live participation without physically being present for a lecture

b. Legal issues can still be treated even when a person is not fit to go to court

c. Press men can attained international conferences without having to be physically present

Project Implementation Method

The system allows users to log-in with their ip - address and port number. The input from therefore was design to accommodate keyboard input with a few command buttons that allows the user to click for certain instructions to execute.

The output interface was designed to allow the participants in the teleconference system to see the video images of each other as well as hear the voices of one another over the network. Therefore the design must be able to contain the tools that facilitate these. The design utilized the windows media tool and a link that is able to communicate with the streaming server. The form has five video units for five participants. This means that a maximum of five users can make use of this system.

Benefits of the Project

1. It makes the best use of the available resources by expanding the learning opportunity and taking the resources to the learners.

 2. It overcomes time or scheduling problems for the learners who can assemble at a learning center for a limited period only because of their full time or part time work, and family and community commitments.

3. It can be designed to meet local specific requirements of training in terms of content, language and conditions.

4. Introduction of short/new courses in skill development, vocational training, professional development, and to address problems related to introduction of new curriculum, and lack of teachers and facilities.

 5. Tutoring in difficult areas of the curriculum.

6. Remedial learning and off-hours teaching can be provided.

Technical Details of Final Deliverable

Firstly, the server setup is started in which the server application is configured then the teleconference application is also launched. The various clients now inputs their unique ip address in the field provided and it is in turn validated by the server, the server will then pool the image and voice required for communication. A user may decide to leave the conference by automatically disconnecting itself from the server.
