Abstract:
Distance learning system is very effective and useful to realize
joint lecture environment in which teacher and students located remotely
can join to the same lecture and exchange their ideas and opinions to
each other However, the current systems do not necessarily provide
sufficient educational effects because: (1) only simple lectures using
bi-directional TV conference are provided, (2) students' awareness for
sharing lecture space and coexisting together is weak, (3) psychological
influence of individual background or perceptions for educational
environment is not considered. In order to resolve these problems,
Flexible Multimedia Lecturing Support System (FMLS) which is a more
user-oriented flexible education support system is introduced. Our
system provides more realistic common educational space where the
students and teachers can share and interrupt together using Extended
Virtual Reality Space technology (EVRS). Our system can also consider
the individual perception or preference to organize the education space
suitable for each student using perceptional information processing and
agent technology. The system architecture and its implementation are
precisely described. We prototyped our FMLS by which the lecture and
practice of humans' organ system for nursing students are examined.
Through the evaluation of the prototyped system, the usefulness of our
suggested FMLS could be verified
