• In this paper, we present a simple design framework of IDL (Interactive Distance Learning) based on SIP (Session Initiation Protocol). In this work, we bring some benefits to end-user over a regular video conference system which is widely used. These benefits come from features that support remote learning purpose to make teachers and students feel better when dealing with distance learning. The main features include voice and video communications, Power Point layout, PDF reader, interactive white board, chat, file sharing. All such service sessions are established by using SIP. To allow end user to access the system easily, we deploy LDAP (Light-Weight Directory Access Protocol) for this purpose. The system is capable for both IPv4 and IPv6. A system prototype has been developed. We are running such distance learning system between the university campuses for years. We have confirmed the benefits over traditional tools.
