چکیده
This paper presents a synchronous telecommuting learning environment named ECHO based on the need to satisfy many pedagogical aspects when dealing with a distance education course hybrid mode delivery system. ECHO, a distributed computer application, is a Collaborative Teleworking Environment that allows for real time transactional and interpersonal communication services via Internet. Numerous potential applications in a wide range of areas such as e-commerce, e-learning, telemedecine, telemarketing, remote sensing and on-line laboratories are made possible.
