The component of education on the cyberspace classifies greatly three parts those are

network provider, service provider, and terminal.

Network Provider

Network Provider (Circuit Switching Network, Packet Switching Network, etc.)

: Circuit switching network is for traditional telephone network, packet switching is

for internet network based on TCP/IP)

• Quality issues of network architecture.

– Network performance

• Refer to the service quality of a computer communications

products- how well the network is performing under heavy

traffic loads.

• Fast deliver the contents to the user

• Broadband available, making every website load up much faster

• Greater throughput for fast connection

Throughput is the number of messages successfully delivered per unit time

Circuit Switching Network Node

Quality factors of circuit switching

are evaluated by a measure of the reject calls

- S/N ratio (Signal to Noise ratio)

- Echo by impedance mismatching

-H/W limitation

-etc.

Packet Switching(datagram) of Network Node

Switching at the network layer in the Internet is done using

the datagram approach to packet switching

Quality factors of packet switching network node Bit rate

QoS, Data throughput, Stability, Connection time, etc.

Video/audio availability & quality Packet loss & jitter

Unobserved bandwidth Fast channel change

Video/audio synch. System configuration

• Throughput – The effective number of data flow transported within a

certain period of time.

– Specified as bandwidth in some situations.

– The bigger the throughput of the network, the better the

performance of the system is.

– In order to improve the resource efficiency, the throughput

of network should often be maximized.

• Dependant factors on network quality

– Speed (Throughput, Download, Data Quantity = Volume)

▪ Increase through put

▪ Reducing download time

▪ Real time process

MPEG-1: 1.544Mbps

MPEG-2 : 2.048Mbps Moving Image Real time.

High definition , High resolution Real time

“Jitter” between regions

75ms=Good 125ms=Med 225ms=Poor

Jitter varies with loading

RTT: Return To Time, Uses “ping” facility of TCP/IP

If Africa is connected with East Europe including Jitter, it delays 265ms.

*1. Contents quality I in Learning Object Evaluation

■ General evaluation standards of content quality

– Validity: clear , accurate contents, unbiased

– Potential effectiveness as a teaching-learning tool

– Ease of use

– Contents takes places always and everywhere and different context, not

only in classroom

– Contents is informal and non-formal, it could be taken place at home, at

workplace.

Physical factors of contents quality

Quality factors Contents

Content availability Availability of channel Related factors: content provider, multicast core, video source, access network, campus & home network

Content quality Quality of audio & video Related factors: multicast core, video source, access network, campus & home network

Channel change time Student and teacher wait time while changing channels Related factors: middleware, multicast core, UDP performance

Contents quality II

Ratings of contents quality evaluation[by LORI]

• Rating 1; serious inaccuracies, biases, omissions

• Rating 3: deemphasizing some key points in a way that could

mislead learners.

• Rating 5: emphasizing key points with sensitivity using an

appropriate level of detail.

*2. Interaction usability in Learning Object Evaluation

• Interaction usability

– Describes how easy or difficult it is for learners to move

around in a learning.

– Describes the ease of navigation, predictability of the user

interface, and the quality of the interface help features.

• Interaction on the network

– Student to student

– Student to content

– Faculty to student

– Faculty to content

• Interaction tools

– Discussion boards, Chat rooms, Mass emails to class members

– Streaming audio and/or video

– Instant messaging, Blogs , Wikis

Categories of Web documents

Static document

Delivered document to document, it caused data traffic heavy load on the network

channel. If you use markup language such as static document like

‘html’ for education web contents, it cause heavy load traffic.

Active document

If education web contents use active language like Java, delivering time is

fast and network channel traffic is too low. This is very fast speed.
