Abstract
The standard Internet offers interesting basic features for asynchronous and synchronous collaboration. However, for many kinds of collaboration and teamworking the performance of the Internet is inadequate. MESH is a project aiming to support teamwork with broadband connectivity and special tools for the collaboration in a wide area of domains. The experimental MESH platform is used in a series of practical application projects to evaluate the technical performance and the functional power of its tools. The results of pilot projects for distance learning and tele-collaboration between instructors are described and evaluated. The technical performance and the functionality of the MESH platform seems to be sufficient for use in education but the successful deployment in practical situations in education is not yet feasible. This
outcome is discussed and some guidelines for better deployment are presented.
