Abstract

The curricula design in distance universities has been influenced by the fast development of communications, and web based learning has become generalized. Typical contents are based on hypertext, with communication models between students and lecturers being based on e-mail, text-based forums, and text-based chats. These tools alone do not seem to be good enough for engineering distance education, where formulae and graphics are necessary. Therefore, a new LCMS (learning content management system) is presented in this paper. Contents are based on web guides, short videos and e-labs or simulators, and graphical communication (synchronous and asynchronous) is possible, by means of e-boards and videoconference web (e-classroom).
