Abstract

The paper presents some original results of experiencing realtime group communication applications in teletraining. We describe the architecture of an open communication environment supporting training strategies specific to engineering domains. In the end we explain the evaluation methodology and the results obtained with some student populations trained in this environment.

All authors are with GRACIMP Laboratory, Research Group for Multi modalInterfaces and Learning Material for Industrial Training at INSA de Lyon, France. This work was technically supported by the Computing Center for Scientific and Medical Information of La Doua Campus at Lyon (CISM-Lyon1), France.
