Abstract
Nowadays, there are many web-based collaborative whiteboard systems all over the Internet. But, they do not provide functions that support teacher-student interaction in the classroom. Those systems do not clearly divide user’s role into teacher and student and do not have a good interface to support student interaction with lessons and teachers. Moreover, some of those whiteboards are implemented by using Adobe Flash, which needs to be installed as a browser plug-in.
Therefore, in this thesis, we design and develop the web-based collaborative system for the classroom, which support the interaction between the teacher and the students. The system provides tools and functions that can be utilized by teacher for creating better learning environment. Besides, the client side is entirely implemented with HTML and javaScript. Therefore, users do not need to install any browser plug-ins in order to use this application.
In our system, the orbited server is used for making the application real-time. PHP is used for developing the application on the server side. Raphael javaScript library is used for creating SVG graphic element on the client browser. Prototype javaScript library is used for creating client side application. And, MySQL is used as the content storage.
