	abstract = {Computer-based, networking learning environments play a signif-
icant role in the improvement of the learning procedure. Elec-
tronic communication and collaboration services provide tutors and
trainees with continual, close, and e{\'a}cient cooperation. An increase
in the use of the Internet as a repository of resources for learning,
and also as a means for delivery of specially prepared teaching
materials, is a particularly signi{\ss}cant innovation in the {\ss}eld of
education. Educational applications are increasingly based on the
World Wide Web, combining simpli{\ss}ed access to the application
and integration into a Web-based learning environment. This work
presents a {\`a}exible communication and collaboration environment,
developed within the framework of the ODYSSEAS project, that
may be used by educators. The basic services environment presented
in this paper is built upon the well-known and popular standards
HTTP, SMTP, and POP3 and is accessible to the potential user
through a web browser and connection to a user authentication
server that will handle the user{\textquoteright}s private information, with minimal
installation cost.},
