Design of a real-time interactive tele-exercise classroom for computer exercises over a Gigabit Network

摘要

This paper proposes a tele-exercise classroom for computer exercises over the Japan Gigabit Network. The requirements for constructing the tele-exercise classroom be discussed. The main features of the classroom are (1) a teacher can monitor a strident's operations, (2) give instructions to the student, (3) show a demonstration to the student. Besides, exercise materials and/or problems happening during the exercise class can be presented by using a synchronous/asynchronous white board, and discussions between the teacher and a student (students) can be carried out through interactive real-time video/audio. We present a systems model which shows the configuration of the system, user computer terminal types, system modes, and action modes. In addition, the extendibility of the system is considered in the model.
