BROADCAST LEARNING SYSTEM USING MULTICAST ADDRESS

Nowadays, teaching and learning process using
computers becomes inseparable process, especially on
information technology department. The teaching process
often occurs on the laboratory, which is every student will do
the learning process in front of a computer. A computer can
help the learning process but also can disturb the learning
process because student can be distracted to do something else.
Therefore, this research will develop server and client
applications to help control the process of learning and
teaching that give on a computer laboratory by broadcast
everything that show on computer server monitor to each
client. The server can also control the keyboard, mouse,
monitor and terminate or block an application that run on
computer client. This application will be build using Microsoft
Visual C#. Testing results showed that the number of clients
does not affect the bandwidth consumption and CPU usage at
broadcast. The smooth multicast depends on several factors
such as type of image compression and resolution sizes.
Selection resolution size and type appropriate image
compression is recommended that more real-time multicast.
