The purpose of the present invention is to offer distance-learning courses to students around the world by using the Internet. The courses offered will contain audio and/or video feeds showing the teachers teaching in a classroom setting, transmit the notes being made by teachers on a regular computer using a pen mouse or a tablet PC or on an electronic whiteboard as they teach, and also conduct quizzes for students. The students will be able to use the system interactively, including submitting responses to the quizzes and assignments, as well as accessing previously "broadcast" lectures of the courses.
