In this paper we present the key principles of the architecture of Teach++, a cooperative environment specialized for distance learning, and its implementation as a didactic instrument for teaching programming languages. Our system is designed to be multi-user, distributed, scalable and cooperative. The goal is to integrate collaboration in a virtual classroom over shared resources by using a common browser enabled with a Java Virtual Machine. The collaboration can be during a lesson, during a one-to-one (possibly remote) tutoring and during the (cooperative) authoring phase, The system provides, among other features, a cooperative editor and a shared cooperative remote login (telnet) session.
