Enhancing e-learning with a document control environment

E-learning allows us to learn anywhere and usually at anytime convenient to the students. Modem technologies such as computers and the Internet are main infrastructures that enable teachers and students to exchange electronic documentation. To make e-learning successful, however, it is necessary to have the ability not only to exchange electronic documents but also to control such documents after delivery. That is, after a document leaves the teacher's desktop, control is necessary to ensure that the document is only disseminated to his/her intended students. Therefore, this paper presents an environment that is able to track and control all delivered documents, and how to integrate such an environment into e-learning.
