Introduction

The Educator is a shared workspace developed to make it possible for students to cooperate and is used in a digital course on signalprocessing for second year physics students. It can for example be used to share a whiteboard with other students, to chat, to perform exercises that are designed as Java applets. These applets can be stored, changed, submitted to the teacher and easily exchanged between students.

The Educator is implemented as an Java applet. The client-server tasks of the Educator are implemented using Corba (Visigenic Orb)
