This paper introduces five hypotheses for designing successful groupware. The hypotheses can be met by using a component model and add groupware-specific components to form a groupware platform on top of that model. We discuss the strengths and weaknesses of JavaBeans as underlying model. A scenario from the remote teaching domain highlights the usefulness of a component-based

Improving the quality of learning and teaching has always been in the interest of instructors in all fields of study. There have been tremendous efforts to this end. In this article, learning and teaching modules enhanced with computer technology are introduced. This approach is based on concept questioning and scenario building aided with interactive animation, simulation, and rich graphical c...
