| Abstract | E-learning platforms have developed to the level where all kind of multimedia exchange mechanisms are successfully used in order to simulate conventional classroom. Nevertheless, a fully efficient E-learning platform is the platform that not only provides rich learning content, but also makes it easy for everyone to reach it. Mobility in this case is a very important issue. SIP is an application layer protocol, which support various kinds of mobility and is becoming very popular for providing mobile environment. This protocol was chosen for integration into an existing E-learning platform, VClass. At first, we establish system architecture, in which we define mobile classroom and describe the interactions between mobile entities. After that, we show the actual implementation of the system with Session Initiation Protocol and describe the integration process. During our work, two different applications were made. The first one is a WhiteBoard that was created for the sole purpose of enriching the content exchange possibilities for our mobile classroom. The second and the most important application is the SIP User Agent, which is actually responsible for establishing communications between mobile users. This program relies on various network applications, such as video application VIC, audio application RAT, or the WhiteBoard mentioned above to create a necessary environment for simulation of a conventional class |
