Introduction
To allow users to individualize and customize their emoticons the Face Alive feature set was implemented. The Face Alive feature set consists of an Image Server, and tabbed pane in the virtual classroom. The tabbed pane in the virtual classroom allows the users to change their emoticons whenever their current emoticon no longer suits their needs. The implementation will automatically resize any JPG image the user selects so that it fits in the space allotted. The user can choose when to upload emoticons to, and download emoticons from, the Image Server.
The Face Alive feature set consists of approximately three new class files, and five modifications to the existing code base. All modified files are available.
