1. A method for enabling asynchronous interaction between a first station and a second station, the method comprising:
- receiving, at the second station, a multimedia-based message via a first network having a first bandwidth, the second station being geographically separated from the first station, wherein the multimedia-based message comprises embedded metadata, wherein the metadata comprises a media time point during a duration of the display of the multimedia-based message for at least one rhetoric question hierarchy (RQH);
obtaining, based on the embedded metadata, via a second network having a second bandwidth, at least one RQH associated with the multimedia-based message from a content repository, wherein the first bandwidth is larger than the second bandwidth;
displaying the multimedia-based message and the information request at the media time point included in the metadata;
receiving a first response to a first question in the at least one RQH; and
evaluating the first response.

12. A method for enabling asynchronous interaction between an authoring station and at least one remote student station associated with a plurality of students, the method comprising:
-
receiving, at the at least one remote student station, a lecture via a first network having a first bandwidth, wherein the lecture comprises embedded metadata, wherein the metadata comprises a media time point during a duration of the display of the multimedia-based message for at least one question; obtaining, based on the embedded metadata, via a second network having a second bandwidth, at least one question associated with the lecture from a content repository, wherein the first bandwidth is larger than the second bandwidth; displaying the lecture and the at least one question at the media time point included in the metadata; receiving, a first response with respect to the at least one question; evaluating the first response; and displaying a second response based on the evaluation of the first response. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)

15. A system for enabling asynchronous interaction between an authoring station and at least one remote student station associated with a plurality of students, the system comprising:
-
a student station configured to; receive a lecture via a first network having a first bandwidth, wherein the lecture comprises embedded metadata, wherein the metadata comprises a media time point during a duration of the display of the multimedia-based message for at least one question; obtain, based on the embedded metadata, via a second network having a second bandwidth, at least one question associated with the lecture from a content repository, wherein the first bandwidth is larger than the second bandwidth; display the lecture and the at least one question at the media time point included in the metadata; receive a first response with respect to the at least one question; evaluate the first response, and display a second response based on the evaluation of the first response. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)
