Lyceum uses a Java client/server architecture to tackle a formidable set of networking requirements: multi-way voice communication with synchronous shared displays, scalable to hundreds of simultaneous users, running over normal modem connections via unknown internet service providers, on readily available multimedia PCs. Participants can 'break out' into rooms, screen-grab material from any digital source, and share a variety of visual tools such as whiteboards, diagrammatic concept maps and textual documents.
