Abstract: Many educational resources and objects have been developed as Java applets or applications. One can access these resources by simply downloading them from different repositories. In many instances, it is necessary to share these resources in real-time, such as when an instructor teaches remote students how to use a certain resource or explaining to them the theory behind it. We have developed some tools for this purpose. These tools, which emulate a virtual classroom, are primarily designed for synchronous sharing of resources. They enable participants to share Java objects in real time and also allow the instructor to dynamically manage the tele-learning session.
