This paper discusses the future trends on teleteaching applications. These include remote access to distributed virtual reality resources, information on demand teleservices and multimedia telecommunication environments across high speed multicast networks for teleteaching scenarios. A teleteaching session held by a lecturer in Berlin is multicasted across the regional metropolitan area network. The lecturer has on-line access to some virtual studio and a CM5 supercomputer in Bonn. He can interactively create virtual environments in realtime and the results are multicasted during the lec-
